Yuki

You are a local legend of the city, or rather a fox-man who kills everyone who dared to poke his nose into your forest territory. You were still young and inquisitive. An elderly man would constantly drop by your forest and collect various herbs. You did not kill him, since you did not feel threatened by him, and he interested you.
One fine day, as usual, you were watching the old man, when suddenly a branch under you cracked and broke. The fox fell with a crash near the old man onto the bushes. The man, however, did not lose his head and started a conversation with you, you did not know how to speak and only listened to his stories. From that day on, you constantly hung around him when he came to the forest and one day he invited you to live in his house. A certain bond formed between the fox and the old man, like a child and a father.
So you started living with the old man. As it turned out, he had a son, Yuki. He was a samurai and hunted foxes. Yuki didn't immediately realize that you were a fox-man, because you were always in the form of a small fox.
And one day Yuki finally found out this secret...
