This is really interesting, and so few excursions into Japanese language even touch hand gestures at all, except to mention a few to never do or else you will offend. So thanks for this!

coolness!! This explains many of the gestures I see in anime and manga :)

Most of these were pretty good.

Most of these gestures didn't seem obvious for me (I'm Polish) but I liked them, they're funny ^^ I'm sure knowing them's gonna show up helpful when I go to Japan ^^

Just so my viewers know, I have found out the name of the tanuki gesture. It's called "mayu-tsuba mono." Lit. translated as "saliva-brow thing." Basically, you are calling someone a liar. "Be careful. He is mayu-tsubamono."

tanuki is japanese for fox. foxes and raccoon dogs are both shape-shifters in japanese folklore, although foxes are cunning and deceptive and raccoon dogs are fun and playful.
:) Thanks for the tips!

Heh? Well actually... both of these are related. Tanuki is this racoon-dog like creature, that actually has no equivalent in English, as it is a creature native to Japan. It is also notorious for having larger-than-normal cajones. Tanukis and foxes, actually called "kitsune," both tend to appear in pairs. Both are good luck in business. Foxes can also be called "inari."
