In Japanese mythology, this is a werewolf "male fox". Jinko is considered a fox who has turned into a man or, sometimes, even a man who has been turned into a fox by another kitsune by witchcraft.
As a rule, kitsune is considered a female fox (turning a fox into a woman) and seducing a man, but sometimes a man can also be.
Interestingly, there is a certain connection of jumping over torii with possessed kitsune - kitsune-tsuki, since it is believed that they also do similar things. This emphasizes that an obsessive kitsune can do the impossible for a person (torii are usually at least three to four meters high and it really seems unlikely for a person to jump over them).
