In the end of episode 9, Inari's assigned apprentice familiar Kon the two
guardian foxes of Uka-sama start crying the sound "kon" and soon the other
foxes around Inari shrine respond, gathering as blue magic fires on the road
up the mountain.

Is this like dog's barking is transcribed as "woof" but in fox version? Or is
it a name of some higher power they were calling?

What does the cry "kon" mean?


It's how Japanese interpret phonetically the cries of foxes, the english
equivalent to "woof". There's no special meaning in the title.
