Tanuki are one of a number of [[youkai]] species. They resemble humanoids, but with the ears and tail of a [Japanese raccoon dog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_raccoon_dogJapanese raccoon dog]. This tail is proportional to the size of their bodies, and when laid flat on the back, it is long enough to reach up to the back of the head. Tanuki are on the taller end of the spectrum, with an average height of 5 feet 10 inches. On average, tanuki have fuller, more heavyset bodies than other species, with an average weight of 210 pounds for males and 185 pounds for females, although this may vary greatly between individuals.
Tanuki have the peculiar reputation of being very sex-oriented, if not obsessed, and the reason for this reputation begins at the tanuki's body; for their size, tanuki males develop very large testicles (average volume ~400cc, or about the size of large oranges), and tanuki females develop very large breasts (average volume ~1000cc, most common cup size is F). What could have been dismissed as a simple quirk of their bodies has instead become an integral part of tanuki identity; their sizes are uncanny, they know it and they are not ashamed to show it off at any opportunity.
