Gongitsune is a cherished Japanese children's tale centered on the adventures of Gon, a youthful and mischievous fox. Written by Nankichi Niimi—often called the Hans Christian Andersen of Japan—the story follows Gon, who is famous for his pranks. While wandering in search of food, he comes across a small village and continuously steals supplies, causing havoc. Even though the villagers try to catch him, Gon easily slips away every time.
