This is Chinese though, but your point still works.Kitsune have been portrayed for at least 1,400 years in Japanese folklore as both mischievous shapeshifters and as guardians and friends of humans. The servants of the god Inari take the form of foxes. Inari is one of the principal gods of Shinto.
I have to imagine Korean folklore has similarities.
Kumiho are the Korean equivalent of kitsune. They aren't so big on the "mischievous shape shifter and friend of humans" part though, more in the "mmm, livers are tasty" camp
But this is Chinese manhua so the design probably inspired by Huli Jing.Kitsune have been portrayed for at least 1,400 years in Japanese folklore as both mischievous shapeshifters and as guardians and friends of humans.

Wait, it is? Shit, why'd I think it was Korean...But this is Chinese manhua so the design probably inspired by Huli Jing.
Edit : I don't know man, those fox spirits looks similar in my opinion.
Japan and Korea love to argue about whose culture is copying the other, when in reality the answer is usually that they're both copying China lolThis is Chinese though, but your point still works.
