Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse

""Fox" in Ainu tongue. Though "Sumari" is another word for "fox", chironnupu refers to "those who we kill" -- which is to say, the various small- to medium-sized Canidae. It is also a divine beast that alerts people to forthcoming disasters by howling loudly from the mountains."

""Fox" in the Ainu tongue. Though "Sumari" is another word for "fox," chironnupu refers to "those who we kill" — which is to say, the various small-to-medium-sized Canidae.
It is also a divine beast that alerts people to forthcoming disasters by howling loudly from the mountains."

—Shin Megami Tensei V lore

Cirronup is a member of the Holy race and holds two unique skills, Ghastfire Rain and Cautious Cheer.

A Cironnup can be found somewhere in each section of the four regions of Da'at, usually being found in the back half of the region. When spoken to, it gives the option to spend Macca to reveal the location of Miman on that area's map, with the amount depending on how many Miman players have found beforehand and what region of Da'at the Nahobino is in.

• Minato: On top of a rock up a slope close to the Tokyo Diet Building in the Nagatacho region.
• Shinagawa: Between some trees up a slope in the North Shinagawa region. This Cironnup is also near an Incubus with a subquest.
• Chiyoda: On some flat rocks in the Otemachi region, near some Vending Machines.
• Taito: In Asakusa, close to a huge wall made of blocks and a quartet of free-floating blocks, along the pathway to reach Vasuki.

If the Nahobino tries to speak with Koropokkur with Cironnup in his stock, Cironnup will interject and engage in a special conversation with Koropokkur.

Conversation
[Cironnup stepped forward and began talking to a demon!]
Cironnup:	Hey! It's Koropokkur!
Koropokkur:	Oh? And who are you? Can't say I've seen you before...
Cironnup:	Oh, right... I guess you wouldn't remember me... Say, did you used to live in Hokkaido?
Koropokkur:	Hmm... Yes, I suppose I did.
Cironnup:	I knew it! I used to live in Hokkaido too! I used to see you all the time under the butterburs.
Koropokkur:	Hmm... You know, that does remind me... I did often see a little fox there...
Cironnup:	Yeah, I think that was me! Probably!
Koropokkur:	Well! What a pleasant surprise to run into an old neighbor here. Ahh, those were lovely days... I must say though... This country has changed a lot since then...
Cironnup:	Those days in Hokkaido were so peaceful... I wonder if we'll ever get to go back?
Koropokkur:	Who can say...? It all depends on what ultimately happens to this world. All we can do in the meantime is stay strong...
Cironnup:	Yeah, you're right. I gotta be strong!
Koropokkur:	Mmm. That's the spirit, lad. Ah, well... You can have this. Hope this helps.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

""Fox" in the Ainu language. Though "sumari" is another word for fox, "chironnupu" refers to "those who we kill," and is said to be the general word for small-to-medium-sized animals.
In Ainu culture, it is also a divine beast that alerts people to forthcoming disasters by howling loudly from the mountains."

—Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance lore

Cironnup is a demon of the Holy race and begins appearing as a normal enemy in Da'at: Shinagawa.

In the Canon of Creation, a Cironnup is the starring demon of the subquest "Trial of the Seven Stars," which is the second subquest in the chain to unlock Masakado, with this being only available after completing the first in the chain, "Will of the Samurai." Cironnup's Miman friends have been acting weirdly, and with no luck on reversing what's happening, he had turned to outside help, which he got in the form of the Nahobino, who was given directions from Atavaka to head to Nihonbashi, which is the area Cironnup is in. With the entryway too small for the Nahobino to fit in, Aogami suggests to synergize their Magatsuhi wavelengths to Cironnup's, allowing the Nahobino to control the Ainu fox spirit.

From there, the Nahobino finds the Miman were actually possessed by someone to test the godling by tasking him to talk to 7 specific Miman. If he/Cironnup talked to one of the 7 Miman, a light shines within their exposed heads and the earth shakes, but if he talked to any other Miman, they will scold him and send Cironnup back to the last "Star" Miman they had talked to. Help is available in the form of a hill nearby that will allow the Nahobino/Cironnup to have an aerial POV. Eventually, all 7 are talked to, with the lights forming the Big Dipper, freeing the Miman from possession, who turned out to be Masakado himself, having set it up to test him and break a seal that was placed upon the ancient Taira warrior. In thanks, the Cironnup is then unlocked as a Demon Navigator.

In the Canon of Vengeance, the Miman-finding Cironnup of Chiyoda has been moved to Shinjuku as Chiyoda is unavailable in the Canon of Vengeance. This Cironnup is in the same general area of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, which is along the way to the fight with the Qadištu and getting to Shakan. To access the area, the Nahobino has to walk along a very narrow passageway that is also the lip of a sheer drop.
