Hideo Ishii is a Kojin Kataribe Kitsune.
Biography[]
After many years of playing the role of stereotypical Japanese tourist in the United States as a means of gathering interesting tales and causing mischief, Hideo decided to settle for a while in the Appalachian mountains. The prospect of infiltrating and disrupting the institution of the Fox Hunt led him to the town of Tryon in the Dark Corner region of western North Carolina, where fox hunting enjoys tremendous popularity among the local aristocrats. Five years ago, Hideo began buying up property for improvement and resale. He is active in the Tryon social scene, participating in golf, community theatre, and the Hunt. Hideo earned his red jacket in record time and has not missed a single hunt since that day. He has one of the finest stables in the area and has taken a particular interest in the training of the hounds. Hideo has purchased much of the land upon which the Hunt takes place and is involved with the movement to form a trust to protect the traditional Hunt lands from further development. Interestingly enough, Hideo's arrival had coincided with the beginning of a very disappointing period for the Hunt; not a single fox has been caught in the last five years.
