Other information[edit]
In Japanese folklore, raccoon dogs, or tanuki, are often depicted as mythical creatures with shapeshifting powers. Using leaves, they can assume different forms, generally doing so to pull pranks on humans. One particular mythical tanuki, danzaburou-danuki, was known to trick humans by creating mirages, such as luring people into his den by making it appear to be a wealthy estate, and selling leaves from trees by making them appear to be made of gold. He was also known to generously lend people interest-free debts, though his funds were said to obtained by embezzlement or fooling people into working for him. These aspects likely inspired Tom Nook's portrayal in the Animal Crossing series, as well as why furniture items are stylized as leaves and why bells may occasionally appear from trees.
