It's a canid, so it's part of the dog family.

It's part of the same family with wolves, foxes, coyotes, jackals, and domestic dogs.

Also, it's called "raccoon dog" because of it's resemblance to the raccoon, which it's not even related to.

But, in ancient times of Japan, they confused this animal with the badger.

That is possible I guess, but most likely it was a canine of some sort because when most canines kill their prey they grip their jaw around their neck and shake them back and forth to break their neck, so it was most likely a wolf or something similar if they are in your area, but if they are not then it could have been a raccoon.
