==Anatomy==
Keatons are three-tailed, fox-like creatures whose characteristics are derived from the mythological Japanese fox creatures, {{Wp|kitsune}}, which are nine-tailed foxes. They have yellow fur and their three tails bear black fur on the tips. Keatons are said to recognize one another by the sheen of their tails,<ref>{{Cite|Hee-hee-ho! Hello, child.

The [[Keaton Mask]] can be obtained in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' as part of a trading quest. It is the first mask obtained from the shop in [[Hyrule Castle Town]], and can be sold to the guard at the far end of [[Kakariko Village]] as a gift for his son. Keaton is said to be a popular character.<ref>{{cite|Is that a "Kee...something..."

No Keatons appear in {{OoT}}, though a [[Keaton Mask]] can be obtained as part of a trading quest. It is the first [[Mask]] obtained from the shop in [[Hyrule Castle Town]], and can be sold to the guard at the far end of [[Kakariko Village]] as a gift for his son. Keaton is said to be a popular character.<ref>{{Cite|Is that a "Kee...something..." character mask? I heard he's very popular recently? He's my boy's favorite. That "Kee...something..." mask...

'''Keaton''' is a yellow fox with 3 tails that appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. To get him to appear, you need to obtain and equip the [[Keaton Mask]] and cut some [[Moving Grass]] in [[North Clock Town]], [[Mountain Village]] or along [[Milk Road]]. Keaton will then appear and ask you some questions about things in ''Majora's Mask''.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.zeldadungeon.net/Zelda06KeatonQuestions.php |title=Keaton Q's & A's|site= Zelda Dungeon.com}}</ref> If you answer them all right, you will get a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Piece of Heart]]. Keaton's characteristics are derived from the mythological Japanese fox creature, [[Wikipedia:Kitsune|kitsune]], and its appearance may also be a reference to [[Characters in Super Smash Bros. (Series)#Pikachu|Pikachu]], or {{bp|Ninetales (Pokémon)|Ninetales}}, both {{bp|Pokémon}} characters. They have yellow fur and three tails with black fur on the tip of each tail; Keatons are said to recognize one another by the sheen of their tails.<ref>{{cite|Hee-hee-ho! Hello, child.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' Keatons appear as enemies.  They will charge at [[Link]] and if they hit him they will cause him to lose some of his [[Rupee]]s. The orange ones appear mostly in [[Trilby Highlands]], and the blue ones appear in [[Dark Hyrule Castle]].


==Nomenclature==
Keaton seems to be based on the Japanese word, {{Romanize|狐|{{Wp|Kitsune}}}}. It is possible that the Japanese name, {{Romanize|キータン|Kītan}}, is a combination of the first letter in Kitsune, "Ki" (''き''), and "-tan" (''たん'') a childish suffix often used for mascot characters, as would fit with the Keaton Mask.
