Kitsunes and Gumihos aren't the same thing.

A fox become a gumiho after 1000 years. It want to become a human, but a gumiho is not seen hostile save for a few folktales.

(i.e.: The general tone is "to become a human marry a male human without letting him know the true identity," but there is a tale about one that tried to become a human by eating human livers)

A kitsune are fox youkai who gains a tale every 100 year. They are believed to have high intelligence and use magic. Though there indeed are stories regarding marriage and banishment upon "blown cover," its intention isn't to become human, but to love. (or at least from what I've learned)

But then again, you can probably ignore stuff.
