A follow up to Eneko posting yesterday, here's the Okami AU concepts I scribbled when talking about this with @feliciadraws! And that I really need to color but shhhh

In this setting, Eneko would be an actual kitsune and in direct service to Inari. He normally dwells in a little hokora shrine on Ryoshima coast, but began appearing in Sei-an city shortly after Ninetails killed Himiko, sent by Inari to investigate the dip in prayers being directed his way. Turns out Sei-An isn't exactly big on foxes right now, and given that Inari's favored servants are kitsune, it's causing a bit of an issue...

Among mortals, Eneko uses a human illusion to appear as a farmer coming to market, but anyone with a strong enough faith in the gods would see his true form. Rule of thumb is that if you can see Amaterasu's markings and weapon, you'll see through Eneko's glamour too. He's just a minor kami, cut him some slack.
