Introduction

Appearance

Fukurokuju is a tall man with an elongated bald head. He has a very long and pointed dark beard, and his earlobes are extremely long. His left arm is tattooed, with a pair of thick zigzagging stripes as well as five ninja star-like shapes. He wears a pair of square-shaped sunglasses and a purple kimono with a pattern of yellow rimmed, green circles with three white dots in them, as well the Japanese character 忍 (nin?) on his orange obi. Twenty years ago, his head and earlobes were shorter and he did not have a beard. His kimono had a simpler design with the kanji 番 (ban?) on each side.

Personality

Despite the samurai code of loyalty stipulating that a warrior must remain loyal to their master as long as they (the warrior) live, Fukurokuju sees no point in serving a dead master and believes his duty as a ninja is to serve the current shogun, regardless of how that shogun came into power. This led him to serve Orochi without issue after the latter seized the shogunate from the Kouzuki Family, and he questioned Raizo and the Nine Red Scabbards’ devotion to Kouzuki Oden even after Oden’s death, saying they are following a “ghost”. He was even willing to pledge himself and the rest of the Oniwabanshu to Kaidou, a pirate, after Kaidou had seemingly killed Orochi, though he would later return to Orochi’s service after the two of them reunited and began fighting Kaidou’s Beasts Pirates on Orochi’s behalf; it is unclear what exactly transpired and what Fukurokuju knew between Orochi’s seeming death and their reunion. Fukurokuju has disdain for showing emotion and believes that being emotional will prevent one from ever being an effective shinobi, regardless of their skill in ninjutsu. Despite disdaining emotional expression, Fukurokuju would express panic and fear whenever Orochi is angry or in…

Relationships

Fukumi

Fukumi was Fukurokuju’s little sister. Fukurokuju seems to have cared for her deeply, as he developed a grudge against Raizo because of her.

Kurozumi Orochi

Fukurokuju is staunchly loyal to Kurozumi Orochi, believing it to be his duty to follow the shogun no matter what. Despite pretending to switch allegiances to the Beasts Pirates when Kaidou decapitated Orochi, he secretly continued to help and protect Orochi.

Raizo

Raizo is Fukurokuju’s hated rival. The two developed rivalry due to Raizo accidentally injuring Fukurokuju’s little sister Fukumi, and Fukumi later calling out Raizo’s name on her sickbed before dying, which Fukurokuju mistook for hatred (in truth, Fukumi had fallen in love with Raizo). Fukurokuju’s head and earlobes slowly became elongated due to his bottled up rage against Raizo. Fukurokuju considers Raizo unfit to be a ninja due to his emotional personality.

Abilities And Powers

As former captain of the Orochi Oniwabanshu, Fukurokuju once had full control over the group of 5,000 ninja, formerly in service of Orochi, but currently Kaidou.

Ninjutsu

Fukurokuju has been noted to be an extremely skilled master of ninjutsu by Shinobu, a veteran kunoichi. He is stated to be the biggest rival of Raizo, a ninja once affiliated with the Oniwabanshu who has been reputed as a genius since his youth. Fukurokuju is quite adept at physical combat, unusually using his earlobes like whips as his signature method of fighting. He also possesses enough mental clarity to see through Raizo’s “clone” technique and strike the ninja’s real body.

Fukurokuju was shown carrying a sword 20 years ago.

History

Past

Twenty years ago, Fukurokuju and yakuza leader Hyougoro were allied with the Kouzuki Family, but when the Beasts Pirates invaded Wano Country and Kurozumi Orochi took over the country, Fukurokuju betrayed the Kouzuki Family and pledged to serve Orochi. His subordinate at the time, Shinobu, was disgusted with this and left the Oniwabanshu. Fukurokuju later accompanied Orochi to Kuri. He was also present in the Flower Capital to witness Kouzuki Oden’s execution. After Shinobu revealed to the public what Oden did for the citizens during the past five years, Fukurokuju confronted her for her actions. However, she managed to flee as Oden met his end.

Wano Country Saga

Wano Country Arc

The Orochi Oniwabanshu caught Nico Robin snooping in a secret room in Orochi Castle, and Fukurokuju came into the room and gave her one chance to explain herself. After Robin claimed to be Ushimitsu Kozo, Fukurokuju ordered his ninjas to capture her. However, the Robin they attacked was a duplicate created by her Devil Fruit powers. Fukurokuju then ordered his squad to find her. As supporters of the Kouzuki Family were detained in the Rasetsu District Prison, Fukurokuju told the prisoners to remain silent after telling them…
