ANSWER: Akito is part of the zodiac, and the leader of the family. Unfortunately for Fruits Basket it is another one of those instances of an anime series being cut short while the manga continues. Basically the anime is finished and will most likely never continue; however, the manga is the original storyline and continues long after the anime. The manga series itself is complete as of about 2 years ago and is still being translated into English and being distributed by Viz in the U.S.

QUESTION: Akire,
Sorry to bother you again and thanks for your super fast reply but do you know witch animal of the zodiac Akito is?  I already knew he was head of the family but I just wanted to know witch animal he is because I think I have seen everyone else.  Thanks a lot!

Answer
I'm not bothered at all.
And it is my mistake, as doing some further research (since I have yet to finish the manga or anime, though I am familiar with the storyline) it seems that Akito isn't part of the zodiac, though head of the family, Akito does not have an animal to be represented by.
