Genkurō is a kitsune renowned for his filial piety. In the bunraku and kabuki drama "Yoshitsune Sembon Zakura" ("Yoshitsune and the Thousand Cherry Trees"), Yoshitsune's lover, Lady Shizuka, owns a hand-drum made from the skins of Genkuro's parents. The fox takes human form and becomes his retainer, Satō Tadanobu, but his identity is revealed. The kitsune explains that he hears the voice of his parents when the drum is struck. Yoshitsune and Shizuka give him the drum, so Genkuro grants Yoshitsune magical protection.. [Nozaki. "Kitsune". 114–116] [Ashkenazy.
