==Biography==
Born on December 12th, 1956 in in the of Japan, Kaori Tanaka was the daughter of Kobe's most feared boss. Not wanting to let her family name opened doors for her, Kitsune earned the respect of every boss in Kobe by the age of 15.

She also trained in martial arts under the instruction of her bodyguards.
By the age of 21, she became the most prolific cat burglar in Kobe, targeting tech companies thinking their new security systems were unbreachable. Even the filed her as one of Japan's top cybercriminals. But her ambition and talent, along with tensions within her family, made her join up with Perseus.
On July 23, 1984, after having received the data of the improved Number Program from Freya Helvig, Kitsune was tasked to infiltrate an Echelon NATO listening station on in West Berlin. Fighting her way to the control room, she managed to hijacked the system and start the broadcast as a team led by Frank Woods and Colton Greenfield arrived at the site. With the broadcast active, operatives started to turn on each other. Greenfield managed to eliminate several operatives before escaping through a window with Woods. From Verdansk, Vikhor Kuzmin congratulated Kitsune for the successful operation as she was leaving the station on board of a helicopter protected by a team of turned operatives.
