Kyubi and Frostail are the only Spirit attackers that can compete with the Tengu duo in the post game. Instead of having an ability that makes their attacks stronger, they have an ability that makes it impossible for them to miss. This is good since it can free up a spot on your party to use a Yokai who doesn't have Old Zone. They are also both very powerful and have such high Spirit stats that if it weren't for the Tengu Fan, the Tengu duo would be second place. They also come from the Mystery tribe, so that is another bonus. They work well when equipped with the Fiend Badge, but Venoct's Gauntlet and the Heavenly Sash aren't bad choices, either. Always train them to have a Logical or Brainy attitude.

Kyubi stands about twice as tall as Nathan (220 cm.), and is covered in thick, golden fur with white belly and paws. Its chest is covered in a thicker patch of purple fur, surrounded by a yellow "trim" around its shoulders, with four wispy hairs sticking out. Kyubi has nine tails, each tipped purple, and sports long nails of the same color. Its muzzle is long and pointed, like its golden-tipped ears, and on its face are markings resembling a kitsune theatre mask, with tomoe eyebrows.

In the anime, Kyubi is very proud of his appearance and is a narcissist. In the games, though, Kyubi has a bit of a frank and serious demeanor.

In the anime, Kyubi has tried to charm Katie, but it appears that Kyubi was the one charmed by Katie instead.

In the games, Venoct and Kyubi are treated like opposites. For example, in the second game, Kyubi likes Honke while Venoct likes Ganso. In the Oni update of the second game, Kyubi got a dark form called Yami Kyuubi while Venoct got a light form, Hikari Orochi. 

Also in the games, the Crimson Master Kyubi is somehow related to the science teacher. Fans speculate that the science teacher is that Kyubi but in his human form. The possibility of him being Kyubi was confirmed when the quest, Miwaku no Kyun Kyun Daisakusen (The charming charm operation?) showed that Kyubi gave the Kyun balls to the science teacher because he thought he was the Crimson Master. 

In Episode 18, Kyubi arrives in the human on a mission to collect the hearts of humans. At this point, Kyubi has already charmed 99 women and only needs one more to become a senior Kyubi. Then, he spots Katie, and decides to make her the next target.

Kyubi makes a cameo appearance in EP027 as one of the Yo-kai waiting in line for the new Yo-kai Watch Zero.

Making his first appearance in EP018, Kyubi has his medal registered in the Yo-kai Dictionary despite not meeting Nathan formally until EP031.

Origin

Kyubi is based on a kyūbi-no-kitsune (Japanese: 九尾の狐, <i>kyūbi-no-kitsune</i>) or "nine-tailed kitsune" (supernaturally-endowed fox). As they grow more powerful with the passing of years, kitsune grow a new tail with each century of age: once they grow their ninth and last tail, their fur will turn white or golden, and their power will reach its maximum. Kyūbi-no-kitsune are gifted with immense wisdom, powerful magic abilities, and can even see and hear everything in the world. They're especially proficient in weaving illusions, and wielding spirit flames called kitsune-bi ("fox fire"). Like tanuki, all kitsune can also shape-shift, though they prefer to take on the appearance of beautiful men and women.
