Around 1840 many Tanuki living between 名東群斉津村 Myodo district, Saitsuson village and 勝浦郡小松島町 Katsuura district, Komatsushima village, were found wounded and dead. Very soon after that stories were told about the 狸合戦 Tanuki Warfare.


Tanuki Kanenaga from the village 日開野村 and
Tanuki Rokuemon from 名東群津田浦 were leaders of two great Tanuki factions from all over Japan. They fought, their children fought and in the second generation they eventually made piece due to the intervention of Hage Tanuki / Hagedanuki 禿狸 from Sanuki Yashima 讃岐屋島 in Northeast Shikoku near Takamatsu .
