Of the 16 extant species currently classified in the genus <i>Mustela</i>, 10 have "weasel" in their common names.

<p>In Japan, weasels<span style="font-weight: normal"> (<span title="Japanese-language text"><span lang="ja">鼬、鼬鼠</span></span>, <span title="Hepburn transliteration"><i lang="ja-Latn">itachi</i></span><span style="margin-left:.09em">)</span></span> were seen as <i><a href="Y%C5%8Dkai" title="Yōkai">yōkai</a></i> (causing strange occurrences). According to the encyclopedia <i><a href="Wakan_Sansai_Zue" title="Wakan Sansai Zue">Wakan Sansai Zue</a></i> from the <a href="Edo_period" title="Edo period">Edo period</a>, a pack of weasels would cause conflagrations, and the cry of a weasel was considered a harbinger of misfortune. In the <a href="Niigata_Prefecture" title="Niigata Prefecture">Niigata Prefecture</a>, the sound of a pack of weasels making a rustle resembled six people hulling rice, so was called the "weasel's six-person mortar", and it was an omen for one's home to decline or flourish. It is said that when people chase after this sound, the sound stops.<sup id="cite_ref-yokaijiten_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-yokaijiten-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>They are also said to shapeshift like the fox (<i><a href="Kitsune" title="Kitsune">kitsune</a></i>) or <i><a href="Japanese_raccoon_dog" title="Japanese raccoon dog">tanuki</a></i>, and the <i><a href="Ny%C5%ABd%C5%8D-b%C5%8Dzu" title="Nyūdō-bōzu">nyūdō-bōzu</a></i> told about in legends in the <a href="T%C5%8Dhoku_region" title="Tōhoku region">Tōhoku region</a> and the <a href="Ch%C5%ABbu_region" title="Chūbu region">Chūbu region</a> are considered weasels in disguise, and they are also said to shapeshift into <i><a href="%C5%8Cny%C5%ABd%C5%8D" title="Ōnyūdō">ōnyūdō</a></i> and little monks.<sup id="cite_ref-yokaijiten_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-yokaijiten-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In the collection of depictions <i><a href="Gazu_Hyakki_Yagy%C5%8D" title="Gazu Hyakki Yagyō">Gazu Hyakki Yagyō</a></i> by <a href="Sekien_Toriyama" class="mw-redirect" title="Sekien Toriyama">Sekien Toriyama</a>, they were depicted under the title 鼬, but they were read not as "<i>itachi</i>", but rather as "<a href="Japanese_marten" title="Japanese marten"><i>ten</i></a>",<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and "ten" were considered to be weasels that have reached one hundred years of age and became yōkai that possessed supernatural powers.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another theory is that when weasels reach several hundred years of age, they become <i><a href="Mujina" title="Mujina">mujina</a></i> (<a href="Japanese_badger" title="Japanese badger">Japanese badgers</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In Japanese, weasels are called <i>iizuna</i> or <i>izuna</i><span style="font-weight: normal"> (<span title="Japanese-language text"><span lang="ja">飯綱</span></span>)</span> and in the <a href="T%C5%8Dhoku_Region" class="mw-redirect" title="Tōhoku Region">Tōhoku Region</a> and <a href="Shinano_Province" title="Shinano Province">Shinshu</a>, it was believed that there were families that were able to use a certain practice to freely use <i><a href="Kudagitsune" class="mw-redirect" title="Kudagitsune">kudagitsune</a></i> as <i>iizuna-tsukai</i> or <i>kitsune-mochi</i>. It is said that <a href="Mount_Iizuna" title="Mount Iizuna">Mount Iizuna</a>, from the <a href="Nagano_Prefecture" title="Nagano Prefecture">Nagano Prefecture</a>, got its name due to how the gods gave people mastery of this technique from there.<sup id="cite_ref-koj2_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koj2-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>According to the <a href="Folklore_studies" title="Folklore studies">folklorist</a> Mutō Tetsujō, "They are called <i>izuna</i> in the <a href="Senboku_District%2C_Akita" title="Senboku District, Akita">Senboku District</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>* 2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="Akita_Prefecture" title="Akita Prefecture">Akita Prefecture</a>, and there are also the ichiko (<a href="Itako" title="Itako">itako</a>) that use them."<sup id="cite_ref-muto-042_17-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-muto-042-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Also, in the <a href="Kitaakita_District%2C_Akita" title="Kitaakita District, Akita">Kitaakita District</a>, they are called<i> mōsuke</i> (猛助), and they are feared as <i>yōkai</i> even more than foxes (<i><a href="Kitsune" title="Kitsune">kitsune</a></i>).<sup id="cite_ref-muto-042_17-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-muto-042-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In the <a href="Ainu_language" title="Ainu language">Ainu language</a>, ermines are called <i>upas-čironnup</i> or <i>sáčiri</i>, but since least weasels are also called <i>sáčiri</i>, Mashio Chiri surmised that the honorary title <i>poy-sáčiri-kamuy</i> (where <i>poy</i> means "small") refers to least weasels.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p><i><a href="Kamaitachi" title="Kamaitachi">Kamaitachi</a></i> is a phenomenon wherein one who is idle is suddenly injured as if his or her skin were cut by a scythe.
