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.

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.

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.
