Any Kitsune stories?

From Japanese folklore, I wanna learn some more about them, and I was wondering if anyone had stories.

I've heard of them as similar to a succubus spirit that will lure a man away at night with the appearance of a beautiful woman to eat him. There are other traditions as well that are more positive.

This was a good listen on an American military story of an encounter with one. It would be an anomoly compared to other Kitsune stories as it is probably a response to the unwanted US occupation and was likely influenced by the mass of deaths in Okinawa that preceded it. If the story is real, it is a most unusual story of the Kitsune but is generally consistent with Japanese folk lore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zei48YmtoyI
