I loved this video! Might try tackling the Kistune next.
Maybe you should do a video on kitsune?
H*** you gotta e How does? Maybe you should do a video on kitsune? I'm thinking the messed up origins on tamamo know. My would be an interesting video topic what do you think?
Loving the cool intro Mr. Solo
Animal Crossing tom nook he a tanuki

Honestly, seeing you look into Japanese folklore was always going to be an amazing and wild ride.
🌟O🌟 WHAT?! How'd you get here?!
I can’t wait for more Japanese content!
Black clover
💝🥰💖👌😁💗
Was? Is? Or will be?
I remember playing Super Mario Brothers 3 back in the day. And it wasn't until this video I learned he could become a statue while wearing the Tanuki suit.
I'd say this is why you read the manual, but games don't have those anymore*.
*Except for _Tunic,_ of course. And boy, does _that_ have a manual.
@@Lycanthromancer1 When I got my first NES for Christmas when I was 6, my mom already had everything set up and ready to go by the time I was awake. After breakfast, the two of us would play the game together. So I had no idea there was a manual and didn't even think to ask her about it. ^^;
Huh, didn't know that either.
You must not have the power, Nintendo Power.
@@Lycanthromancer1 I’ve played the Mario game maybe twice in my life and I noticed that it was more boring than fun
Tanuki revenge is imminent!
He pulled a "Tenorman Chili" on him!!!
... kitsune (kit-soon-nay) are Japanese. The Chinese have many different fox spirits and the Korean fox spirit that's very similar to kitsune have a different name.
You should do a kitsune video! There's so many variants in their lore!
a reminder kitsune and tanukis are normal animals, if u r talking about folklore then u have to be more specific, a lot of non japanese people associate kitsune at magic and then get surprised it actually means fox
the Kitsune is the Japanese name for the same mythical fox figure that the Chinese call Huli jing and was imported into Japan and Korea from Japan
@@JonSolo Fun fact about Kitsune. All foxes were assumed to be Kitsune, or fox spirit, but only really gained magic once they grew their first tail, which they would grow a new one ever 100 years, up to 9, hence the term "nine tailed fox" of which they would turn into a Tenko, the highest form of Kitsune.
@@JonSolo It looks really bad on you to respond like this. You make a lot of mistakes. Either be more thorough or more graciously accept when youre corrected. You said it incorrectly.
Im specifically not subbing because of your attitude on several videos@@JonSolo
Does this mean you’re gonna start doing Japanese folk lore or is this a one-off for the movie?
this is just the start! 😁
@@JonSolo You should Collab w/ Gaijin Goombah for that.
@@JonSoloYAY! :)
To quote the philosophers of AC/DC "I've got big balls, she's got big balls, he's got big balls. Massive big balls! But we have the biggest balls of them all. " Date unknown
My 18 year old son and I are planning on seeing the Mario movie next week. We have to go during the day while kids are in school because of his severe social anxiety but he is actually looking forward to going. For him, it's a HUGE step forward.
Sorry. Odd proud mom moment. This has been an incredibly rough year for him and it was supposed to be a fantastic senior year with his friends. His therapy is starting to work and him being excited about going out into public is amazing and it's all because of Mario.
Its a good Movie! Very funny too!
@@dezi5695 I can't wait!
I’m a Mario fan since I was two years old and got an NES at the time. I thought the film was wonderful! They did such a good job mixing the Western version of Mario from Brooklyn with Nintendo’s world, creating a new Mario universe that really stands well on it’s own. The humor was fantastic, and references to music of various Mario games used was thrilling! Even the visuals were perfect! It’s like that detailed textures and shading from realism but without sacrificing stylization of the world. Bowser is like straight out of the Mario Bros Manga, LOL! It felt like a 90s film but without the excessive corniness of the 90s. I really hope you two have an awesome time! ❤
@@justabearbrowsingyoutube4968 thank you! I'm really excited about this.
That's awesome! WTG to your son.
If you cover more East Asian folklore in the future, I would to see you cover the kitsune. The stories around those are equally as fascinating. They even have a frenemy relationship with tanukis, at least in Japan (not sure about China and Korea).
And they're the two "face types" in Japan as well.
The real life reason for tanuki's giant kintama (golden balls), is that goldsmiths used their sack's stretchiness to hammer gold leaf (really thin sheets of gold for use in decoration and, nowadays, food garnish).
By Cultist Simulator mechanics, they're strong in forge (shaping) and moth (shifting) aspect and they are probably also minor emanations of the Thunderskin, who basically use their weird hangup with having had their ancestors skinned ballsacks posthumously pounded into a malleable state, combined with the disguise power inherent in ghillie suits made of fallen leaves, to transmute their corpulence into whatever shape they please.
TLDR: It’s a metallurgy pun.
@@q-miiproductions878 One that sprouted wings and took off, to be sure.
And more I learn. Facinating
Kitsune is kit-su-neh.
Got Tanuki right. Good job Jon.
I also recommend gaijin Goombah if you want to learn more about Japanese folklore or ninjas. Good man that one is.
I'm at 11:04 at the time of this writing, if someone else pointed out this mistake let me know. Have a nice day
Honestly there's about a dozen channels I'd recommend before goomba.
@@bar-1studios put them down here. Let people know
I think it would be fun, I've only seen goba go into what he has learned from Japan and their culture
I learnt recently that "kit-soon" pronunciation is for Americans. Just like how Japanese pronounce "Coffee" as "Ko-hi"
@@onekill31 ah neat the more you know
The tanuki’s disguising themselves as Monks reminds me of an episode of Inuyasha where a Tanuki disguises itself as the Monk Miroku and is seducing women.
I remember that. Saiyuki, or saiyuki doujinshi I believe also had a story or two with tanuki, I remember being surprised to see a patallel for the racoon Mario from Mario bros 3
@@bellablue5285 Yeah. Remember how Miroku got out of trouble with his future wife Sango?
I was in Kyoto and saw so many of those statues and I didn't know what they were so thanks for going over the story behind it.
Wasn't expecting a video on Mario especially not one about his tanuki suit. Impressive Jon very impressive
I love this video! I enjoyed the last story the most, though I grew up on similar stories with Grimm's, so that shouldn't be a surprise. 😂 The part where the tanuki asks if the farmer liked his stew gave me chills. Bravo! 👏 Please do more like this and keep up the great work! I look forward to the next one. 😁
I’m sorry I’m being this guy but Kitsune is pronounced with an “ay” at the end please don’t hate me lol
Eh?
Japanese terms/words read each syllables. Most often we non-japanese mispronounce their terms like how Jon did on the kitsune (ki-tsu-ne).
Great video and I hope more videos of other folklores to come.😊
Hey y’all! When I looked up how to pronounce KITSUNE Google told me “Kit-soon” ! Even if Google is wrong you can all stop commenting the same thing! 🤗 I know it’s exciting to show the world how smart you are, but if you were really smart you’d scan the comments to make sure you’re actually contributing to the conversation and not leaving the same comment as a hundred other people. Yes?
Now if we could get back to discussing this fascinating figure from folklore and not my pronunciation of a figure that’s mentioned for approximately 5 seconds I’d greatly appreciate it :)
Surprisingly not too many comments about the scrotum kite.
Just me I guess.
I love how sassy this guy is 😭😭😭 slay let them know
So you took the computer generated american version of the pronunciation and didn't bother spending 2 more seconds glancing at any other results from that google search? If this is indicative of your researching skill then I wouldn't trust anything else you say on this channel. This petulant response doesn't look good either
Tanuki! Little shape-shifting scamps. XD
With Gigantic Nutz*
Last year i watched Pom Poko for the first time after I had eaten some Mario mushrooms...and it was definitely a trip.
I also thought Shippo from Inuyasha was a Tanuki, especially seeing his shapeshifter abilities and use of tail.
He's a kitsune, hence his "fox magic." Miroku's friend Hachi is a tanuki.
Oooh thanks for reminding ME!
I'm so glad that someone mentioned that anime. But no, I remember that there was an actual raccoon dog character that hung out with them from time to time but, I forgot his name.
Edit: his name was hachi.
@@kenhollis6197 I skipped over your comment but yes, that's it. Hachi
my reaction:
14:35 "O-okay..."
14:39 "Hold up- wait a minute!"
14:42 "Oh no... don't tell me he......"
14:55 "Oh no... he did-"
He pulled a "Tenorman Chili" on him!!!
@@ZeldaSam1 Glad I’m not the only one who was thinking of that South Park episode when I heard that story, if only Scott Tenorman had a pet hare things would’ve probably turned out differently in episode 201!
@@Thenumber1yoshi Oh well...
Can u please do the messed up story of the six wives of King Henry viii 👑
YES! I've been waiting for stuff like more video game content would be awesome, I doubt you'd ever bother with this but theres 2 Sonic games that take place in classic stories it'd be cool seeing a video about those
Love this video this week! Cant wait till next weeks video!
You Gotta collab with Gaijin Goomba when you talk about Japanese Folklore again
I found out about tanooki from another great channel called Linfamy! I love both of you guys content
Lin’s Awesome
@@SiriusZiriux it's so cool to hear two
different tellings of Kachi-Kachi mountain!!
I believe the myth of tanuki balls being so magical was because in ancient times they had a hard time finding a material to help press gold leaflets turns out scrotum was the key. Eventually someone figured out the another versatility of the hide/scrotum it was very stretchy and soft so they began using the hide to creat coin purses.
Wait, they used the Tanuki's Balls for that?!
Half Asleep in frog's pajamas?
Never abide by what critics say! I grew up on Nintendo NES and my son is 11 and as most kids his age is also a huge fan. We LOVED the movie!
Dang, tanookis are way cooler than I thought! I've often brainstormed for alternate uses for my scrote, and gliding never even OCCURRED to me 🤦♂️
Thank you for looking into Japanese folklore has always been a fascination of mine and I'm happy to see you looking into it I've also loved your dies in a native American folklore I'd love to see what else you do in both areas
Really enjoyed this episode and I hope you do more Japanese folklore in the future. Their folklore is some of the most interesting, in my opinion.
It is impossible to cover the tanuki without covering the Kachikachi Yama story. The two versions I've heard about the hare's revenge go a little differently than what is covered here. There are several versions of the same folktales, you see. So, for anyone who is curious:
One day the tanuki is walking through the forest and see the hare collecting wood. The tanuki asks the hare why and the hare says that it's going to be a tough winter, so it needs lots of wood to stay warm. Seeing the logic, the tanuki decides to also collect lots of wood alongside the hare and soon they have collected more than plenty and begin heading home together. The tanuki is walking ahead and the hare is behind it. Both are carrying the wood on their backs. The hare then takes the oppertunity to light the wood on the tanuki's back on fire and when the tanuki asks what the crackling sound is, the hare says that seeing as this is the cractling mountain, you will hear a crackling sound. The tanuki accepts this at first but then begins feeling hot and realizes that his back is on fire. He runs away.
On the next day, the hare is grinding a paste and the tanuki comes by. It sees the hare and calls it out, wanting to punish it for what happened, but the hare is quick-witted and says: "Oh, you must be talking about the hare of the Crackling Mountain. I'm a different hare!" Then it offers to treat the tanuki's burns with the paste it just made and the tanuki sits down to let it do so. However, there is lots of chili in the paste and it soon begins stinging on the tanuki's back. The tanuki runs off in pain.
A day or so later, the tanuki comes to the lake and finds the hare in the process of making a small rowing boat. Agaiin, the tanuki calls out the hare for what happened last time but the hare explains: "You must be talking about the hare of the Chili Mountain. I'm a different hare!" Accepting this explanation, the tanuki asks what the hare is doing, and the hare explains that seeing as the winter will be tough, it is making a boat to go fishing. The tanuki asks if he can come with and the hare says yes, and offers to make him a boat, telling him to come back the next day. The tanuki does so. On the following day, there is a small wooden boat and a bigger one made of mud. The hare explains that since the tanuki is bigger, he needs a bigger boat, and the tanuki jummps right in and they get going. As they are sailing out, the hare begins singing a song and hitting the side of its boat with the ore. The tanuki decides to do the same. However, as his boat is made of mud, it doesn't take many hits for it to break and the tanuki sinks into the water, drowning.
This is a mix of the two versions I know. I only told of what happened after the tanuki had the farmer eat his wife. There is a more kid-friendly version too, where the tanuki just kills the wife and the farmer doesn't eat her, but just finds her dead body.
I really missed watching these videos and this did not disappoint as my first messed up origins since like January
This was one of my favorites! Please do more like this
3:25 Well that kinda explains why Hachiemon hangs out with Miroku in Inuyasha. lol
I recently found this channel and I dig it keep up the good work if I can suggest a folklore story for you cover a couple of the famous oni like shuten doji or the snake princess I forget the name of that one but it's one of my favorite stories
the 'koopa' (i don't know if these creatures are still in use, in the mario games) are folk lore creatures, too.
My grandma has a tanuki statue from when she lived in Japan for a few years, she's actually from Kentucky. LOL!
14:08 I bet it's going to be his pet hare that he gleefully ate but won't find out until after.
I was wrong 😱 It's much worse! Reminds me of 'The Juniper Tree'.
So excited for you to dive into Japanese folklore, it's quite a ride!
This was an interesting and information video. I had no idea that the Mario franchise has so much folklore back story.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE DOPEST STORIES IVE EVER HEARD!!! THANK YOU
Can you do a video on the origins of Donkey Kong?
The origins of Donkey Kong lie in King Kong and Popeye the Sailor.
Yeah, and it is also an inspiration of Gaara's tail beast.
Mario did it for the Tanooki .🎵 The what ? The Tanooki . The Tanooki!🎵
Bro. Jon. Make a series about our fav anime / video game origin (the dope ones anyway)
Well done. I just want to add one bit of trivia. The Japanese call the fox spirit "kitsune" {kit-su-ne} 狐 while I THINK the Chinese word for it is húlijīng (狐狸精) which can loosely be translated as "seductive woman" as well as "fox spirit."
Great video. One of my favorite TH-cam channels Fr. And for future reference I believe it’s pronounced Kit-Su-Nay
Love the 8-bit style intro and chapter transitions.
No mention of Pom Poko? Easily the most underrated Ghibli movie?
He did in fact mention it.
@@kenhollis6197 timestamp?
Definitely get a dedicated segment to yokai. I've been to Japan 3 times already, and I've learned some phenomenal stories about these supernatural beings. I bought a book about them in kyoto, and when I went to that famous site with the torii (orange shrine gates) where they filmed memoirs of a geisha, I tell you, there was something there alright. Couldn't see it, but damn, the air changed, we were alone, a weird energy was in front of us, and we trailed back to the bottom of the mountain out of respect for whatever it was. Point is, you got PLENTY of stories to pick from 😅
interesting. There was a news report about the Racoon Dogs in China doing some thing or an other and I commented "Just like a Tanuki to play tricks" to find out those were in fact NOT Tanuki.
"kit-soon"
I always thought it was "keet-soo-neh"
You are right about it. きつね。
I dunno, I mean the farmer was gonna kill and eat the Tanuki so I can understand the Tanuki not being happy about it.
That was so so good! ❤
Also my japanese friend told me that tanuki at the bar doors helps drunk people to come back home safe)
tom nook may wear an apron but the tanuki statue furniture item is still swingin free
love the chiptune intro, its a nice touch
Love the tanuki!
Fun episode. I once wrote an article on tanuki and their folklore for a travel website.
I hope you cover more japanese mythology in the future! There are a lot of great folklore stories in japan, and a complicated system of gods.
I also wanted to let you know that if you see the 'ne' in a japanese word, its pronounced "nay" like a horse. Like in kisune Im pretty sure that's how its anyways pronounced. Japanese pronunciation seems to be pretty straight-forward from my experience, but im no scolar XD
I hope you continue with asian folklore!
Yeah I'm positive that's how its pronounced at last in main stream japanese. Heard it when watching something in Japanese, anime,video games, live action films and some informational vids
I’m almost positive that the stew story is what inspired the “Scott Tenorman Must Die” episode of South Park, especially given Trey Parker’s long-standing fixation with all things Japan.
I'm SO glad I'm not the only 1 who got that reference!!!
Oh yes I remember Pompoko 😂
It's a good movie though
14:14 was the exact moment I knew where that story was heading.
1996 is when I was introduced to "Inuyasha" and my first appearance of a tunuki "Hachiemon" I loved this manga so much and honestly this video is exactly who & what he was, a lecherous and greedy raccoon dog! (Who loves to pretend he's Miroku) 👌
The Tanuki definitely deserved to drown. Despite setting him free, the Tanuki decides to get revenge on the farmer by chopping up his wife and feeding her to him. What a sick little f***
The channel that got me back into folklore lives on.
look at the algorithm actually doing something good for once! this was super interesting.
definitely subscribing 💕 can't wait to see your other stuff
The English game spelling is because we don't pronounce the U like that but it is that way in Japan.
So Fire Crackle Mountain is what gave Trey Parker and Matt Stone inspiration to create that South Park episode: Scott Tenorman Must Die
Thanks for the folklore. I am going to buy one of the Tanuki statues. Crazy thought: Their theme song is AC/DC's Big Balls.
This is the cutest little thing. Its funny how horrific some of stories play out.
I would love to see more videos on asian folklore.
That he actually has a Tanuki statue added so much to this haha
WOW, I can't believe you actually got a tanuki statue!!! I loved this video!
Tanuki with burning... bundles of sticks on its back: "What's that sound?"
Bunnygirl: "It's ASMR Mountain. It'll help you feel cozy and get to sleep."
In the words of Phil Collins "if I saw you drowning I would not lend a hand"
The only thing I've come to associate with Tanuki in the past few yeas is, "I'm a reindeer!"
Poor Chopper, always getting mistaken for a Tanuki.
Sponsorship by Square. Space?
Major movement sir.
As far as Mario, it was just a racoon suit in southern US.
Thanks tho...iore got deep on Tanooki.
First of all, loved the 8-bit theme music!
Secondly, I saw Mario last weekend at a drive-in! It was so fun! There *were* a ton of kids, but they were by their own cars so I didn't have to hear them 😂😂
My favorite tankui story is when one gives someone a run down house with a music box that he cant get rid of. And then he asks said person to work for him to pay off the debt.
Wait....
It's Kit-Su-Ne ne as negative 😂 I got confused while I was clean the house 😂😂😂
Disturbing yes. But not for the pair of reasons I could have ever expected...
I saw pompoko last Christmas Eve during a Studio Ghibli binge and it was a very good film balls and all
The "general area" comment was good writing.
Yokai are very absurd. Giant animals, orbs of fire, and aquatic monkeys. What were people smoking, and may I have some?
That was a trip
When you pointed out that tom nook wears an apron i died💀
Wait so Tom nook got mentioned?
Why is it we have metal Mario but no Mario metal
Great episode thank you.
Btw the story is justified because the tanooki did that to an innocent but it is interesting from a carnivore point of view the hunter is also hunted sort of logic
The earliest story of that I know is in the Chuang tzu
The rabbit could be referencing the moon which esoterically has a mixture of birth and rebirth.
Random lore, please and thank you. Good job, John Solo.
What inspired so much folklore around the tanuki to be envisioned as such a rascal? I’m curious what these ancient people would have imagined if they encountered other animals around the world
Tanuki's aren't actually raccoons, they're more closely related to dogs. But they're their own species.
I was born in Japan. I love it that you talked about Japanese folklore.
I always thought it was a raccoon suit.
And to think Jon they say "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" (maybe they should add or a PISSED OFF Tanuki!!) LMFAO
KEEP UP THE AWESOME VIDEOS U ROCK!!
He pulled an "Tenorman Chili" on him!!!
I've had one of those statutes in my apartment this entire time and had no idea what it was. I just thought it was a cute bear. I found it at goodwill.
I've heard of mario, but never knew who or what he is. I knew there was a game, back as a kid, I was playing Sims 1 and at school on break when I wasn't writing or catching up with homework, I played mindsweeper and stuff.
Villa incognito by Tom Robbins starts with a Tanuki flying from the sky using his scrotum as a parachute! Tom Robbins is a great author!
Now I want to hear this one out cause I do love japan
Ah the first ever recording of "It was me DIO" or "You activated my trap card" take your pick.
