  Tanooki suit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Tanooki" actually refers to a Japanese animal (both real and mythical) called a Tanuki—the mythical version known for its mischievous and jolly nature and being a master of disguise and shapeshifting.
The Tanooki suit itself resembles popular Tanuki statues in Japan, and its ability to transform into a smiling statue to avoid or defeat enemies is no doubt a direct reference to the mythical animal's abilities.
The fact that Raccoon Mario is powered up by a leaf is also a bit of a joke—a Tanuki looks somewhat similar to a Raccoon, their name is often mistranslated as Raccoon in other languages, and the mythical version of the creature was known for using leaves as part of its mischievous magic.

 About Us
Tanooki Suit would then go on to write 8 songs that they would later drop, never to be played at a show.
Tanooki Suit was formed in late May of 2001, but did not play a single show until a year later in May 2002.
A great moment to remember was when Tanooki Suit was the first band to ever play at Jacobs Well on Sunday, June 30th 2002 (the first night of Jacobs Wells existance.) That night we shared the stage with Pine Garden Champion and DJ Carl.

 Main Page - The Tanooki Bored   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
The Tanooki Bored (the preferred spelling; other acceptable spellings: The Tanooki Board, or, for short, TTB) is an internet quaintmunity originally founded in 2001 on the video game website gamers.com by MPMike (née Michael Gathwright) out of sheer boredom.
At this time, the Bored is stationed at the popular video gaming website 1up; however, TTB moderator Slurpee plans to have a new website up and ready just for the Tanooki by early 2006.
It should be noted that the spelling "Tanooki" was probably used popularly because it is more appeasable in English phonetics.

I also think we’d get a far greater contribution from other members if we let it be a free going Pokémon collab without Tanooki John’s name on it and without directly linking it to the club itself.
