The kitsune is seen commonly as foxes that have multiple tails and live for over a thousand years. It is said these foxes are spirits that are bathed in fire or lightning and are known to love playing mischievous tricks on people. They appear commonly in Japanese folklore but there are legends of them in Chinese and Korean mythology as well. From what I've seen, the common kitsune legends are some of the most accurate depictions of the supernatural world. Especially in them being tricksters.
Kitsunes, like most supernatural shapeshifters, look undistinguishable from a normal human. Yet kitsunes don't shapeshift or transform in the same manner as most though they do make their eyes glow like many others do.

Commonly, they glow to be a bright orange color though it is seen that the eyes of celestial and void kitsunes are different colors from the others. A dark kitsune or nogitsune has eyes that are a pitch-black color.

They are associated with foxes as they have an 'aura' around them takes the shape of a fiery bipedal fox. This aura is hidden and can't be seen by the naked eye unless the kitsune chooses to expose it to others though they seldom do this. Typically, it can only be spotted by people with an infrared sight like werewolves. However, kitsunes can hide their aura from even infrared view if the they wish to keep themselves concealed.
