This Banpresto figurine depicts Tsumu Kitsune, the fox version of Atsumu Miya from Haikyu!!. Part of the Fluffy Puffy collection, it measures approximately 9 cm and features a flocked finish that gives it a soft, velvety texture. Banpresto officially identifies Tsumu Kitsune as the animalised interpretation of Atsumu, the setter from Inarizaki.
Tsumu Kitsune takes the form of a small, seated fox with rounded, simplified features. Its fur is mainly beige, with white paw tips and a large tail standing upright behind it, white on top and beige at the tip. Its tall, pointed ears and small black snout immediately emphasise its fox-like appearance.
The design incorporates several of Atsumu Miya’s distinctive features. A blonde fringe covers the top of his head, accompanied by a darker patch on the side reminiscent of his hairstyle. His half-closed eyes and slight smile give him a mischievous and self-assured expression, in keeping with the player’s personality in the series. The flocked finish covers a large part of the body to emphasise the soft, animal-like appearance of this ‘Fluffy Puffy’ version.
This version can be paired with Samu Kitsune, the fox-themed representation of Osamu Miya, available separately in the same collection. The duo features an official design previously used for the Miya brothers in Haikyu!! merchandise: the anime’s official website notably mentioned a set of ‘Atsumu Fox & Osamu Fox’ mini mascots amongst the products linked to Haikyu!!
