**Paxton Yoshida** is a recurring character on *Teen Wolf: The Movie*. He is a Kitsune that owns a Ramen Shop in Japan with his cousin Hikari Zhang as well as one of the protections of the jar containing the Nogitsune.

## Personality

During his only appearance in the Teen Wolf Movie, Paxton demonstrated himself as a brave and compassionate man who was willing to fight and do whatever was necessary to keep his loved ones safe, similar to the Kitsune who came before him, Kira Yukimura. He demonstrated incredible knowledge of his species as shown when he was quite aware of the danger the Void represented to the world, with him trying to protect at all costs the urn containing the dark spirit. His intelligence and Kitsune spirit eventually became the major factors that allowed the McCall Pack to outsmart the Dark Kitsune as he managed to transfer his fox spirit to Hope, protecting her from the red oak arrow Allison shot at her heart.

## Physical Appearance

Paxton is an attractive Japanese man in his mid-early twenties, with short dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and very pale skin. HIs attire leans toward leather jackets, simple t, dark jeans, and combat boots.

## Powers and Abilities

Paxton possesses the common abilities of a Kitsune, though he may have specific powers that were not yet demonstrated on-screen:

* **Super Strength**: Paxton possesses superhuman strength, though the strength of most Kitsune is still inferior to that of average werecreatures unless they are especially old and/or powerful.
* **Super Speed:** As a Kitsune, Paxton can run at speeds faster than even the finest human athlete. They are among the fastest creatures in the *Teen Wolf* universe; at full speed, they can run faster than most Alpha Werewolves, though they are not as fast as a Demon Wolf or as a Hellhound.
* **Super Agility:** As a Kitsune, Paxton is preternaturally agile, and can quickly dodge attacks, perform a wide variety of gymnastic and acrobatic feats, and slice arrows in half in mid-air with his katana.
* **Accelerated Healing**: Paxton possesses an enhanced regenerative healing ability that gives them immunity from any human illness or condition. It also allows them to heal from minor to moderate wounds in moments, and even severe injuries, such as being stabbed in the heart, can be fully healed within hours.
	+ **Longevity**: As a Kitsune and a very long-lived creature, Paxton will be able to live for many centuries as a result of his advanced healing powers, which keeps them from dying due to most natural causes and slows their aging down tremendously.
* **Shapeshifting:** As a Kitsune, Paxton can make his eyes glow an orange color when he is actively accessing her supernatural powers. It is possible that, with time, wisdom, training, and/or additional tails, he can learn to change his form even more than this, as Kitsune have been referred to as "shapeshifters" on several occasions, and Kitsune who are not part-human, such as Kira Yukimura, gain the ability to take a human form upon reaching 100 years of age, which suggests that they are born into a non-human form.
* **Intuitive Combat and Weaponry Aptitude**: As a Kitsune, Paxton possesses an innate ability to engage in any form of combat with a high level of skill through his own intuition and muscle memory alone, both with and without weapons.
* **Aura Manipulation**: Paxton has a flaming fox aura around him and he appears to have enough age and experience to conceal his aura from supernatural eyes or make them visible to even human eyes. Moments before the final battle against the Nogitsune, he was able to transfer off-screen his aura to Hope, which protected her from dying from a red oak arrow to her heart fired by Allison. The aura incinerated the arrow and healed Hope's apparent wounds.
