Yes, there is. According to legend, the White Hare of Inaba tricked the sharks into being used as a land bridge, in order to travel from the Island of Oki to Cape Keta. The Hare challenged the Sharks so they would see whose clan was larger - the Sharks or the Hares - by having the Sharks line in a row across the sea. The Hare then hopped across them, "counting them" as she went. Obviously, the White Hare made it across, letting the Sharks know that they were all made fools of.
So yeah. Tewi is supposedly the White Hare of Inaba. She's that awesome.

One would hope that Tewi is smarter then the rabbit in the story, seeing as they proclaimed the sharks stupidity while they were still running on top of them, and getting bitten by the last shark
Nearing the end, the hare exclaims that he has deceived the sharks in order to use them as a bridge. The last shark attacks the hare, ripping his fur from him
By the by, EWI did a version of this myth featuring Tewi. Its pretty alright if you're okay with the gratitious and iconic swimsuits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWr1ystE76M
