The word usagi is literally translated to guess what, rabbit!

I was wondering if you knew the Japanese word for each of the Samurai Kids' spirits - white crane, tiger, snow monkey, striped gecko, long-tailed rat, golden bat, fox.

Thanks.

Never been a fan of the red fox, probably because they are feral pests in Australia. I suppose where they naturally occur they play an important role though.
