It is rare for them to live in the wild. They can understand both the wolf tongue as well as Common are incapable of speaking in wolf tongue. The Hiretsuna are most commonly seen running the law and the majority of businesses in town, usually with at least one human slave working under them. Many young, female Hiretsuna are often trained to become shrine maidens to care for and protect the shrines to their Mother Luna, the hidden Father Okami shrine, and the many shrines of the Yokai.
