This Banpresto figurine depicts Samu Kitsune, the fox-themed version of Osamu Miya from Haikyu!!. Part of the Fluffy Puffy collection, it measures approximately 9 cm and features the flocked finish characteristic of this range, giving its surface a soft, velvety feel.
Samu Kitsune is depicted as a small, seated fox, with a compact and rounded silhouette. His body is mainly beige with white paw tips, whilst his large tail curves upwards behind him and ends in a broad white patch. His tall grey ears have light-coloured insides and frame a dark brown mane directly inspired by Osamu’s. The black muzzle and half-closed eyes give him a calm and slightly jaded expression, well suited to Miya’s more composed temperament.
The flocked finish covers much of the figurine and enhances its animal-like appearance. The sculpting is deliberately simple to emphasise the rounded forms, the large tail and the facial expression. This approach allows Osamu to be recognised without directly replicating his human silhouette and fits perfectly with Banpresto’s ‘Fluffy Puffy’ concept.
At 9 cm tall, Samu Kitsune can easily be displayed on a desk or a shelf. He is specifically designed to be placed alongside Tsumu Kitsune, with the two figures forming the fox duo inspired by the famous Miya brothers from Inarizaki. The official Haikyu!! website lists the two figurines together under the name ‘Fluffy Puffy – Tsumu Kitsune / Samu Kitsune’.
