Could it be possible that the Tanuki 狸 and Mujina 狢 of Japanese folklore originated from China?
The possibility is almost non-existent. Tanuki and badgers have a deep root in Japanese history and folklore as well as foxes or demons. You do not see such development of cultural items and beliefs about them outside Japan, and the creatures themselves are also mostly found in Japan, since ancient times. The word tanuki in its very old usage was used to refer to cat-like creautres, small mamal in other words but gained its distinguished meaning of 'raccoon dog(s)' throughout Japanese culture, and is widely used in their comedy, folklore and media culture. The Kanji 狸 reads 'tanuki' as its 'Kun'yomi' which means 'japanese original reading' of a kanji, the more reason to believe that it does not necessarily go back to Chinese historic associations with Japan.
