Japanese Kitsune
The vast majority of Kitsune only have a single tail to wear at formal occasions, but more tails can be earned or gained per the ancient Japanese mythologies the modern Kitsune use as inspiration. A second tail is often an indication that the individual has become a low level leader or sponsor in the Kitsune organization. Players in the sports leagues can earn them for superior playing. Third and fourth tails are rare but not unheard of. But few people actually wear them as they become increasingly cumbersome. Holoform tails are actually rather popular in the higher ranks of Kitsune society for a reason. Nine tails are relegated to the highest ranked or awarded Kitsune, per Japanese myths, and it is all but unheard to see them displayed in anything but the most formal of black tie occasions.
