Foxes in japanese mythology used to be women who shapeshifted to lure men. Though in some cases they were worshipped as Gods. An example of a bad fox spirit is Tamamo no Mae. Tamamo-no-Mae, the most favoured courtesan of Emperor Toba. She was said to be a most beautiful and intelligent woman, being able to answer any question asked. She caused the Emperor to be extremely ill and was eventually exposed as a fox spirit by the astrologer Abe no Yasuchika, who had been called to diagnose the cause of the Emperor's poor health. A few years later, the emperor sent Kazusa-no-suke (上総介) and Miura-no-suke (三浦介) to kill the fox in the plains of Nasu.

I know in Japanese folklore, fox spirits/demons were often shown as cunning tricksters who are up to no good. So at least in Japan they would be somewhat feared. Enough to make it a decently powerful devil.

In feodal Japan, people were scared of foxes and raccoon dogs because they were said to be animal shapeshifters (they could turn into humans to deceive people). I have no idea where that idea came from though.
