Fun Facts

  • People still argue as to how to write is name. Is it Kyubey or Kyuubey?
    • His/her name is written in both Hiragana and Katakana as キュ(kyu)(u)(be)(e). So the more acceptable Romaji for his/her name is Kyuubee/Kyuubey.
    • On the other hand, the fifth commercial has his name romanized as "Kyubey", hence the argument.
  • Aparently it comes from the katakana of the english word Cute so it could also be Cubey.

Speculations

  • Many fans believe Kyuubey is evil and believe he/she should not be trusted.
  • According to the same theory, it is likely that Kyuubey is the messenger of a greater entity that has its own agenda.
  • Some think Kyubey's real form is that of a red devil and his/her white fur acts as a cover as indicated by tears rather than bleeding in Episode 1.
