Yes it is based on an ancient Japanese legend, and it is apparently created sa pamamagitan ng a group of really strong wizards, there were nine wizards so the beast has nine tails one for each wizards (sorcerer).

In most asian cultures, foxes are renowned shapeshifters. Both Korea and Hapon have actual legends about nine-tailed foxes.
In Japan, foxes are associated with the deity of kanin and fertility, Inari (an androgynous deity who takes on the form of both sexes). One with nine tails is believed to be a sign of extreme good fortune, and eating one is supposed to protect the consumer from evil spirits.

Yes, it is from a true ancient Japanese legend. Legend has it that foxes, depending on their wisdom and age, can have a certain number of tails. The is 9 tails, so thats where Naruto, Pokemon, and Okami got it from. Let me know if this helps!
