About Kitsune Noir
My name is Bobby Solomon and I’m the guy behind Kitsune Noir. I currently live in Los Angeles where I work as a freelance designer of things pertaining to graphics and websites. I’m always looking for new projects, so if you’re in need of a creative type email me at thefoxisblack@gmail.com.
The name Kitsune Noir (pronounced Kit-soo-nay No-whar) is a mash-up of a Japanese and a French word. Kitsune means “fox” in Japanese, and Noir is “black” in French, so it roughly means “black fox”. I can’t really remember how I came up with the name, but I think I had recently gotten a Lonely Planet Guide to Japan and I was trying to learn French. Plus I have an immense love of both French and Japanese cultures.
The blog was started in April of 2007 as a way of sharing the interesting ideas and products I came across. I could never get the emotional reaction I wanted from friends and family members so I took to writing it out my thoughts on here. Since then the blog has blown up and been viewed millions of times and been featured on all kinds of fancy blogs, so on and so forth. This is honestly my passion and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
