[edit] Biography
[edit] Before the actual story
As a child, Fuko found enjoyment in fighting. However, she has a strong dislike towards injustice and would severely beat up people who annoyed her, mostly class bullies, lazy students that ticked her off or such. However, this attitude caused her not to be praised as a 'good girl', but instead it made the majority of her classmates alienate her. Fuko only had one friend, Recca Hanabishi, who symphatizes with her action and spends their time together, mostly by fighting against each other.
As Fuko graduated to Junior High School, she became a cold, tough girl who often fend off the delinquents herself and shoved off any attempts of friendship by any other friends. She also gained a new rival, Domon Ishijima, whom she quickly defeated and sent to the hospital with her Kiri, but it also caused him to instantly fall in love with her. One day, she met a frail transfer student named Kishi Maya, who tripped during a physical exercise class. Fuuko unconsciously showed her sensitive side and tended to her wounds. From that point on, Maya would continuously stalk Fuuko, including breaking her fight with Domon.
Eventually, Fuko became fed up with Maya and shouted at her. Afterwards, she left and refused to contact Maya anymore. Domon passed by and asked whether she did the right thing or not. Although Fuko ignored it, eventually she realized she was wrong. She went to apologize to Maya, but she wasn't at her home. At that point, a group of delinquents ambushed and fought Fuuko. For some reason, Fuko started to lose the edge of battle. It was then Maya suddenly came up and bravely stood on her defense. Fuko had to cover her, but before any damage was done, Domon came to the rescue, complete with his new Mohawk hairstyle.
Maya was later transferred to another nation, due to her illness. At that point, Fuko learnt the true value of bravery and thanked Maya, promising to show her feminime side should the latter returned. After complimenting on Domon's new hairstyle, Fuko told him to defeat Recca first if he ever wanted to challenge her again.
[edit] Beginning
Fuko, along with Domon and Recca, graduated and enrolled to Nashikiri High School together. Despite fighting him for all the years, even more motivated with Recca's promised reward to be the personal ninja to whoever beat him in combat, neither Fuko nor Domon could defeat him. When suddenly Fuko heard the rumors of Recca already serving another girl named Yanagi Sakoshita, she became infuriated and beat up Domon to vent her anger. After that, she ambushed Recca and Yanagi, and had a short fight which ended with her defeat. Recca told Fuko that he didn't serve Yanagi because she defeated him, but because he felt like it.
Fuko wouldn't accept that kind of reason and sulked alone. At that time, a figure named Kage Hoshi appeared and offered her the Madogu Fuujin, which granted her the control over wind, to 'help' her fight Recca. Although hesitant at first (she thought Kage Hoshi told her to kill Recca, in which Fuko only wanted to 'defeat' him), eventually Fuko accepted. However, Kage Hoshi already planted a brainwashing device within Fuujin. The device corrupted Fuko's mind and she became a fighting lunatic, craving only to get stronger and defeat Recca.
After skipping school for 3 days, Fuko issued a challenge to Recca. At first, Fuko was gaining the advantage, even though eventually Domon came to help Recca. However, when Domon yelled at her and told her to get up, Fuko was momentarily freed from the mind control and expressed her fear. Shortly after, her mind control activated again and the battle resumed. Recca eventually had to unleash his flame to gain advantage, but Fuko retaliated by generating a tornado around her to deflect both Recca and Domon. Although within the tornado she had troubles in breathing and it could result her death, her pride won't let her to dissipate the tornado. Eventually, Recca leapt and entered the tornado from above and destroyed the device that controlled Fuuko's mind, but also burned off her clothes. Fuko regained her mind, and punched Recca for seeing her naked body. Domon later lent her his jacket to cover her body. Eventually, Fuuko came in good terms with Yanagi. Angered with Kage Houshi's manipulation, Fuko was about to make pay, but she didn't after witnessing the shocking revelation of her immortality.
Shortly after, Fuko's friendship with Recca, Domon and Yanagi was strengthened over time. However, when she saw Recca being down and distancing himself from Yanagi for some reason, she and Domon hatched a plan to get him back to shape and it succeeded. Fuuko also began to suspect her senior Tokiya Mikagami, whom she knew as the culprit on Recca's downhearted state. She and Domon pursued Recca to the amusement park, only to find him already victorious against Tokiya and was losing a lot of blood as a result. Fuuko also witnessed Yanagi's healing power.
[edit] Kurei Mansion Saga
Life went normal for Fuko for awhile. However, she and Domon later found Recca and the wife of Tatesako Fumio, their History teacher, wounded and unconscious at the street. After taking them to the hospital, Fuko learnt that both Tatesako and Yanagi has been kidnapped. Fuko was more than eager to help Recca save them, now that she has mastered the essence of Fuujin more. They first suspected Kage Hoshi, but she revealed that the true culprit was Kurei. Recca, Fuko and Domon then headed to his mansion.
Entering the mansion, they worked together to defeat the statue Maria. On the next floor, they encountered Reiran Katashiro and her doll Primera. Fuko stood up and fought her along with her controlled marionettes. However, when suddenly Reiran dropped her sword, Fuko was already tied up with invisible strings, enabling Reiran to manipulate her like a marionette. Fuko was slashed many times without being able to retaliate. She knew there's something wrong, and eventually she saw the doll Primera blinking her eyes. Moving her fingers, she summoned gusts of wind to cut down all the strings, wounding her even further, but giving her the chance to strike the final blow. She did, and suddenly Reiran turned into a doll. Fuko revealed that the dollmaster was instead Primera, whose real name is Ganko Morikawa. After she heard her story, Fuko embraced and accepted Ganko as their new friend.
Eventually, Fuko and the others encountered Kaoru Koganei, master of Kougon Anki. They were trapped in a falling ceiling, but Tokiya appeared and got them out of the tight situation, but managed to anger Fuko by insulting the whole group (She was being called 'Monkey'). The group then left him to fight Koganei as they reached Kurei. However, Kurei dropped them to the underground level, where they faced Mokuren Nagai. Recca dispatched him easily and they went up to face Kurei once more. However, after he revealed his flame angel Kurenai, even with the help of Tokiya, they were soundly defeated. When Fuuko woke up, however, Recca managed to wound Kurei with his new Flame Dragons, and Kurei let them go. The mansion suddenly crumbled as they managed to rescue both Yanagi and Tatesako. For some reason, Fuko went to the trouble and picked up the doll Reiran, getting it out of the building.
[edit] Ura Butou Satsujin Saga
Eventually Fuko was also invited by Kage Hoshi to her hideout, in which she revealed herself as Kagerou, Recca's mother. They were later ambushed with three Uruha soldiers, but they were defeated easily by Recca and the others.
Later, Fuko realized that they'll soon face Kurei once more and she didn't want the embarrassing defeat at the mansion to be repeated again. Taking up some Madogu from the previous soldiers, she invited Domon to personally train for battle. Fuko herself combined one of the Madogu of those soldiers, Oni no Tsume, with her Fuujin, creating a technique called Kaze no Tsume.
Eventually, they were invited to a tournament sponsored by Kouran Mori, Kurei's foster father, the Ura Butou Satsujin. Recca, Fuko, Domon and Tokiya formed a team named Hokage and entered the tournament, with Yanagi as the prize to be surrendered to the sponsor should they lose, as the rule decreed. Before they left, Fuuko left Ganko in her house. Their first round was against Team Kuu, and Fuuko fought against the perverted man Fujimaru, who was hell bent to strip her. Fuuko managed to turn the table with Kaze no Tsume, and Fujimaru suddenly begged for forgiveness. Fuuko turned back and forgave him, but this only caused Fujimaru to unleash and attack that torn up her clothes, leaving her only with her bra and panties. Cornered and angered, Fuuko still managed to outwit him and ended up victorious. When Fujimaru used the same begging trick, Fuuko asked him if he thought she's cute or ugly. He spontaneously called her cute, which pissed Fuuko off (he previously called her 'ugly' 4 times) and she delivered an uppercut that knocked him senseless. Before she got back to the backseat, she gave a warning to the audience.
Eventually the Hokage came out victorious. For some reason, the second round was delayed and Fuuko decided to take a stroll around the mansion nearby. She met a handsome man named Raiha on the way. He offered to escort her around the mansion. However, Fuuko started to wander alone. She ended up trapped in a sealed room, in which water started to fill out the room, drowning her. Raiha saved her in time, but he got beaten up for claiming to be her prince as a response to her self-blabbering. As Fuuko tried to get out of the mansion, she overheard some people speaking about placing bets on the battle. As she kept her suspicion about the tournament, she re-entered the arena, only to find that Koganei defected from Kurei's group and joined Hokage, and the team ended up victorious.
Fuuko didn't fight in the third round, but she did gave Domon a fake promise to kiss him to turn the battle on his favor. Instead of kissing him, she made Koganei kiss his forehead, out of his horror. Later, when Recca and Tokiya became so caught in their own tension, causing them to almost lose their lives, she and Domon stood up and told them to work together for the same goal, protecting Yanagi, not to fight over petty reasons.
On the fourth round, the Hokage ended up victorious again due to their opponent forfeiting the match. As Fuuko trained for the semifinals with Domon, she encountered Raiha again. After he gave some tips to both of them, he left them as he teased to date Fuuko next time they meet. Fuuko also began to grow suspicious on Raiha, knowing that he's no ordinary man.
In the semifinals against Uruha Ma, Fuuko was pitted against the honorable gargantuan warrior Gashakura. At first, Fuuko outwitted him and his massive Morning Star. The real bout began when Gashakura unleashed his Madogu Magagumo. After several bouts, Fuuko was unable to turn the battle to her favor. Suddenly, the four pillars on the edge of the arena generated laser barriers and Fuuko was struck with it. Despite the wound, she continued to fight on, claiming that the wound was nothing compared to how hurt she was when her classmates alienated her. Eventually, out of honor, Gashakura struck the pillars with Magagumo, decreasing the power of the Madogu to make the battle fairer. Even so, Fuuko still doubted she could defeat him. It was at that time suddenly Fuuko removed one of the small orbs of Fuujin, summoning a fluffy creature called Fuujin. With it, she used the new technique Kazadama to defeat Gashakura.
For the next battle, Domon was supposed to fight Magensha. But Fuuko wanted to fight on, trying to ease Domon's burden. However, she couldn't do a thing and was instead sucked to Magensha's Majigen or other dimension. She wasn't there for long as she was suddenly transported back to her house, meeting Ganko once more. She knew that she still have a lot to do in the tournament so when she spotted the portal to the dimension still open, she re-entered. After encountering fellow Uruha Ma members Tsukishiro and Kashamaru, Fuuko searched for a way out of the dimension and back to the arena. She later found out that to get out, they needed to find Magensha within the dimension. They eventually did and defeated him, even though Fuuko had to remove another Fuujin crystal, reverting them all back to the real world and letting Domon win his match. Magensha was later executed by Kurei.
Preparing for the final match, Fuuko trained with Raiha. She tried to shove him off, but when he said he just wanted to be with her, Fuuko became flustered. The flustered was cut short when suddenly a mysterious old man squeezed her boobs and ran off, leaving a message attached to a toy arrow and shot on Raiha's head. The message told Fuuko not to use the Fuujin's small crystals too much.
Eventually, before the final match began, Fuuko met a boy named Keishuu and his baby brother Michiteru. He requested her to defeat a member of Uruha Kurenai, their final opponent team, Mikoto, to avenge the siblings' father. Fuuko agreed to them, already disgusted on how this Mikoto do things.
During the final match, Fuuko showed a rare case of worry when she thought Domon died. But he proved that he's alive and miraclously came out victorious. The rest of the match didn't go rather well. Recca lost his dragons thanks to the previous old man, and later Tokiya suffered a defeat despite his opponent committing suicide upon victory. Coincidentally, Fuuko faced Mikoto during the next battle. Reaffirming her promise with Keishuu, Fuuko managed to corner Mikoto, forcing her to reveal her true form instead of the masked woman figure, a ninja hiding behind a robot with that form. At first, she didn't look quite strong. However, Fuuko became distracted one bit and Mikoto scratched her with Madogu Dokumashin, an extremely poisonous nail. Mikoto revealed that she forgot to bring the antidote and she began beating up the weakened Fuuko. Fuuko thought quickly and managed to stab Mikoto with her own nail. This prompted Mikoto to pull out her Madogu Gedokugan, the antidote. Fuuko quickly snatched it away and restored her strength. She used two orbs of Fuujin to disable Mikoto. But, along the way, once again Mikoto cheated and turned the battle to her favor, this time causing Fuuko to lose by default. Extremely angered with her cheating and ruthless ways, Fuuko got up and started breaking Mikoto's limbs. She was eventually stopped by Domon and ended up crying, realizing that she failed to live up to her promise to Keishuu. On the contrary, Keishuu and the audience realized that she was the true victor of the battle, getting her mood back.
The Hokage was put in a disadvantage, but it was pulled back to a draw thanks to Koganei's victory against Joker. Recca, however, didn't resurface. And after seeing Kurei ruthlessly beating Koganei, Fuuko, Tokiya and Domon stood up to fight him, but they were still overwhelmed. Thankfully, Recca came in time and the proper match continued. After a brutal battle, Recca came out victorious. Afterwards, Fuuko invited Domon to the mansion where she was trapped beforehand. In there, they crashed the party hosted by Kouran Mori, where rich people bets on the fight and people's life in it, which extremely infuriated Fuuko. They soon returned home.
[edit] Sealed Lands Saga
Fuuko's life as a student resumed. However, one night, she encountered a caped man named Soukakusai, who snatched and licked her ice cream. She became freaked out when he declared that it was an indirect kiss. She and the Hokage team later learnt about the Madogu Tendou Jigoku, which was sought by Kouran Mori. This cut their peaceful time short and they had to go on another dangerous journey to the Sealed Lands of Hokage. Later the team split up, with Fuuko teaming up with Tokiya and Koganei.
When passing through an underground river, Koganei unfortunately fell down to the river and was carried off by the current. Before Fuuko and Tokiya could react, a woman named Hisui appeared and challenged Fuuko to a duel. As Tokiya left to search Koganei, Fuuko fought Hisui in a very dangerous death duel. Fuuko came up victorious and also prevented Hisui to commit suicide. She told Hisui on the futility of throwing one self's life away. As a token of gratitude, Hisui lent Fuuko one of her weapons, Shinryou Shintou.
Fuuko soon found out Soukakusai was stalking him again. This time, she stood up to face him. He later revealed that he's a maniac who was insanely obsessed to her, dreaming about her, creating novels and fanfictions about her, collecting her figurines, etc. This freaked Fuuko out and when he asked her to be his, she blatantly refused and broke one of his figurines. Angered, Soukakusai unleashed his Madogu, Tamasui no Tsubou, which sucked and sealed Fuuko inside, in which she started to lose her mind and consciousness and personality. She suddenly recovered when someone squeezed her boobs... who turned out to be Raiha. Of course, she gave him another uppercut beforehand. Fuuko confessed that at that point she tried using the last orb of Fuujin and it failed, causing the Madogu to enter a dormant state. Raiha helped her to escape and he showed a rare display of brutality, slaying Soukakusai.
Fuuko later joined back Recca when he fought Rasen. They soon approached Tendou Jigoku, who quickly chose Kouran Mori as its master and turned into a hideous monster. Hisui resurfaced and after having the truth revealed to her, she turned her back on Kouran Mori and fought him. However, she was killed in an attempt to protect Fuuko, deeply saddening her. When Kurei also resurfaced to face his foster father, Fuuko was too caught in sadness over Hisui's death. She eventually regained her will to fight as the cave crumbled and stabbed one of Kouran's separate body. She escaped with Recca and for awhile, they could say that they were victorious that none of them are dead.
[edit] SODOM Saga
Fuuko's life turned normal once more, although now she included Tokiya as one of her target pranks. The moment of peace was broken with the arrival of a transfer student named Aoi Kagura, who was actually a spy to Kouran Mori and managed to capture Yanagi. In the upcoming three days before the final battle, Fuuko was trained again by Raiha, in which she outwitted him. As a reward, Raiha gave her the true orb of Fuujin, which he has been using to seal his nefarious Madogu Raijin. Now with Fuujin awakened again, she was ready to jump to the battlefield once more.
They arrived at Kouran's hideout, SODOM city, and split up to find the CDs unlocking the final path. Fuuko saved a young girl named Kirito who accompanied her in an easy battle against Karame, a minor soldier. Fuuko was overjoyed to find her first disc, but she suddenly found herself caged. It turned out Kirito betrayed and trapped her, stealing her disc. Fuuko easily got out of her cage and gave pursuit, but she ended up falling from a bridge. While unconscious, she was ambushed by robots, but Raiha saved her again. He gave her his disc and left off.
Fuuko later stopped by at the laboratory, where she helped Koganei fend off the zombies and helped the robot Z regain his humanity, as well as getting his disc out. The team reunited and split up once more.
This time, Fuuko faced Raiha, who intended to fight seriously for the sake of Kurei and even unleashed the power of Raijin. After learning Raiha's past, Fuuko became determined and fought him seriously. Eventually, Fuujin and Raijin clashed and it would appear that Fuuko was losing it. Suddenly, Domon appeared and gave his support to Fuuko. Even so, it wasn't quite enough. Hisui's spirit later appeared and finally turned the table on Fuuko's favor. Raijin was destroyed. While Fuuko was unconscious, Raiha asked Domon to look after her. Later, Fuuko decided to loose up a bit on Domon.
Eventually, they faced Kouran Mori once more and eventually Tendou Jigoku's main body. The creature crippled Domon, Tokiya and Koganei and rambled on how weak the team was and how he's going to create his own utopia, all while absorbing Yanagi. Recca later resurfaced and fought bravely. Despite of the betrayals of Aoi and Hiruko, Tendou Jigoku's plan was still proceeding as planned. It was then Fuuko shouted on how Yanagi should wake up, prompting the other Hokage members to do the same. It was a momentary success as Yanagi woke up for a short time. But, in fact, they were too late and Yanagi died. After Kurei reappeared, Recca unleashed the power of Resshin, revived Yanagi as his flame and cooperated with Kurei to destroy Tendou Jigoku. With their victory, the Madogu started to vanish, including Fuujin and Shinryou Shintou, which contained Hisui's spirit. But most importantly, Yanagi lived on, and Hokage's battles were not for naught.
As Fuuko returned to school, however, she found out that she has loads of homework and extra studies awaiting her due to her absence in school, which she did in purpose to battle Tendou Jigoku. Even so, it marks that the peaceful life for her has truly begun.
