Sega Fate Extra CCC Figure 8" Tamamo-no-Mae Kitsune/Caster Action Figure

Caster's identity is Tamamo-no-Mae, a woman of astonishing beauty that served the retired Emperor Toba the end of the Heian era (794-1185). She is publicly known as a Kitsune that was said to be the catalyst for a rebellion within the Imperial Court. Tamamo-no-Mae is a soul created from the sun goddess Amaterasu, and she is a unique facet of the goddess rather than a mere Earth Spirit. She is believed to be a nine-tailed fox spirit, however strictly speaking she is a Yakanjackal, which is often mistaken as a fox. She is frequently mistaken to be one of the many Inari Okami and is thought to be a Ukanomitama. She is associated with tantric deities such as Vairocana and Dakini Deva. They are connected through religious terminology.
