Say hello to my mischievous little kitsune Kyū! Straight outta Japanese folklore and into your hands this nine tailed yokai is full of charm, a dash of magic, and maybe a little trickster energy. Catch one if you can… they’re known to vanish!
Kyū The Kitsune is the first figurine Im making with your help. I chose the Kitsune because I’ve always loved the folklore and mythology behind it. Shapeshifters, tricksters, and guardians all at once. They can be mischievous, but they’re also seen as protectors who bring good fortune. I loved the idea of capturing that dual nature in a figurine. Something that feels mystical and playful.
Holding Kyū at my tattoo station
Hello! I wanna start by thanking you for checking out my little project. My name is Jose Arvizu Aka. Spacehustle, as some of you may know I'm a tattooist from Southern California. Here’s a link to my body of work.
As a tattoo artist, I’ve always been drawn to the small details. The ones that make something feel personal and alive. That same love shows up in my obsession with toys, especially the weird, obscure little figures I’ve been collecting for years. Whether it’s a busted little bootleg or a vinyl toy, these belongings have always brought me a sense of joy, nostalgia, and inspiration.
After years of admiring the work of other creators, I finally decided I wanted to bring one of my own ideas to life. This project is my way of blending the worlds I love like tattooing, collectable figurines, and folklore into something physical that people can hold, enjoy, and maybe even collect themselves.
This is my first step into making something that brings people joy, and I’m excited to share it with you. Backing this project isn’t just about the toy. Every sale helps me keep making more cool stuff. I’m just one artist, not a big company, so the support goes right back into creating new figures, better packaging, and bigger ideas. If you like what I’m doing, supporting this project makes it possible for me to keep pushing and putting out even cooler pieces.
The presale for Kyū starts September 5th and will run through November 30th. Once the presale closes, I’ll lock in the final order numbers and send them off for mass production. The goal is to have everything finished up and shipping out to you by January 2026.
