Nine Tailed Skull Fox

Cuba (キューバ, Shiro Kyubi) is the Tailed Beast that was sealed within Shinji Takato.

Appearence
Although Cuba is a kitsune with red-orange fur and red eyes, it possesses the upper-body structure of a human, complete with opposable thumbs on its clawed hands.

Background
His first appearance was during the Loguetown Arc where he saved Monkey D. Dragon's son Monkey D. Luffy from Captain Smoker. At that moment a green gust of wind passed through Loguetown blowing Luffy, Smoker, Buggy, Alvida and their crew away. It's not known if he controlled the wind that blew off the marines at this point. Smoker would question Dragon's action, to which the Revolutionary replied about letting Luffy follow his path. Sometimes Later, The Kyuubi was sealed within Shinji Takato.
