If you consider yourself a completionist, you’ll definitely want to find all 25 Tanuki as this will allow you to finish the “Tanuki Hunt” and unlock “The Boss Tanuki” side quests.
Unfortunately, just like any other in-game collectibles, you won’t be able to find Tanuki in plain sight. Instead, they are always disguised as random objects, making them challenging to spot.
Fortunately, what gives them away is their huge tails, so pay attention to that, and you’ll be able to spot them more effortlessly. Not to mention, you should use your Spectral Vision as well.
Here are the exact locations of all 25 Tanuki in Ghostwire: Tokyo, along with the instructions on how to find them.
