Raccoons are a species of special characters in Animal Crossing. In the Japanese and Korean versions of the series, they are actually raccoon dogs (tanuki in Japanese and neoguli in Korean). Raccoon dogs have facial markings that bear a resemblance to raccoons, but are otherwise not closely related, instead belonging in the same biological family as dogs and wolves. There are three raccoons in the Animal Crossing series so far.

Other information
In Japanese folklore, tanuki are often depicted as mythical creatures with shapeshifting powers. Using leaves, they can assume different forms, generally doing so to pull pranks on humans, which is likely why pocketed furniture items are stylized as leaves in the Animal Crossing series. Tanuki cloth is also associated with wealth and money in Japanese culture; this might be the inspiration behind Tom's financial success.
