Noshiko Yukimura is the centuries old kitsune of legend, and the mother of Kira. Consumed by rage over the loss of her American boyfriend Rhys while detained at a Japanese internment camp during the Second World War, she channeled the powers of the dark kitsune, intending to use its powers to get vengeance. Instead, the dark spirit took over Rhys, giving rise to the Nogitsune.

!!Mr. Martin

* PosthumousCharacter: Died before the start of the series, but proves of great importance to both her granddaughter and the supernatural community of Beacon Hills.
* PsychicPowers: It's unknown how, but she seems to have predicted the events of season 4 and coded a list of people the Benefactor would target.
