===Origin===
===Origin===
Zorua is likely based on a {{wp|fox}} cub, with facial markings resembling {{wp|Kabuki}} or {{wp|Noh}} theatre makeup. The concept of a Zorua still having its tail while in human form, is similar to the Japanese folklore of the {{wp|kitsune}}, a shape-shifting fox who, in some stories, has difficulty of hiding its tail when it takes on human forms. Zorua may also be based on {{wp|ninja}}s due to its special ability to use and fight with {{a|illusion}}s, which can be considered a genjutsu (illusion technique).
