I'm a Kitsune (You know...a Japanese fox spirit)
For the @kirayukimuraappreciation 2023 alternative #1 prompt: Have you ever heard of something called a Kitsune?
I missed out last year, but I'm glad I had chance to make something for Kira this year! This is just a little nod to one of my favorite Teen Wolf characters, who is super sweet, brave and a badass with lots of potential.
Kira has such a deep family history, and she's also someone who learns (and is still learning) to grow into herself as a person and her supernatural powers. 🦊💖
Thank you so much to everyone who participated in Kira Week 2022! And a very special thank you to @momentofmemory for all of her wonderful promo gifs for this event. We are delighted by all of the incredible submissions we received this year!
We look forward to hosting future events, but in the meantime, we are always looking to share new Kira content. Kira Week may have come and gone, but Kira appreciation is year-round!
All works are compiled below, organized by prompt, and the KiraWeek2022 Ao3 collection can be found here. If you created something for Kira week that we’ve missed, please send us an ask and we’ll add it to the list!

Kira Yukimura Appreciation Week is a Teen Wolf fandom event running from Mon Oct 25-Sun Oct 31, 2021. To participate, simply create Kira content (fic, gifs, edits, playlists, etc.) and post it during the week with the tag #KiraWeek2021! We’ve got a little over 3 months to prepare, so spread the word and get excited to celebrate our favorite kitsune!
Event Themes
Day 1, I Had a Lot of Friends Back Home: This prompt is focused on exploring Kira’s pre-series life in New York.
Day 2, You Have Centuries: Kitsune live a very long time, so today is centered around Kira’s post-series life (in one century or another).
Day 3, It Looks Like a Fox: Today’s focus is kitsune folklore, powers, and more. The show gave us pieces, now it’s time to fill in the blanks.
Day 4, Yukimura Family Feels: Today’s theme is all about the Yukimura family and Kira’s relationship with her parents.
Day 5, Fix-it Friday: Missing scenes, botched plotlines, AU’s... today’s the day to fix canon’s sins!
Day 6, Dealer’s Choice: Today bends to your whims. Let your imagination run wild!
Day 7, Trickster-or-Treat: It’s time to let Kira be the trickster she is, so, in the spirit of trick-or-treat, today is a combo theme for Halloween and/or shenanigans!
All daily themes can be found in greater detail here, including visual prompts and alternates!
We look forward to seeing all your Kira creations! Be sure to check out our submission, & rules pages for more info.
