Fuuma Kotaro (TABA)

Fuuma Organization (TABA)

**Kotaro** Fuuma (ふうま **小太郎**), sometimes written as **Kotarou**, is the villainous protagonist of TABA.

In the TABA continuity, he is the leader of the Fuuma Organization, which tries to restore the Fuuma clan after his father betrayed Gosha Village and escaped to the UFS.

## Personality

Kotaro's character traits differs depending on continuity.

True for all continuities is: that he is a **very smart**, **analytical**, **scheming** and long-term thinking individual. Shifting between being easygoing and lazy, to serious on some missions. Kotaro is able to think on the fly and on some level is an everyman, though also has his moments of stupidity, laziness and childishness. Kotaro has a **desire to prove himself** and has a high degree of trust for his allies. Feeling somewhat concerned about his family's history and left alone, he hates his father Fuuma Danjo but deeply cares for his sister Tokiko. Towards Tokiko he also can get meek if he knows, that he upset her.

Kotaro is **protective** of his friends or assests and tries to better himself constantly. He shows lust and attraction to his Taimanin coworkers but is able to control it if needed. Even when insulted, he does not lose his composure and remains **mature** in a situation. However, when talking about his father, he tends to lose his composure quickly and can become very rude. In multiple continuities he is also interested in Video Games.

The Fuuma Kotaro of TABA is **villainous**. Wanting to rebuild his clan as the ruling party, over all other groups like the Taimanin, demons or UFS, he aims to be independent. In order to rival the military force of others, he regularly kidnaps enemy commander from encounters or when the opportunity arises. He uses hell tech, and his own "abilities" to break women into his servitude. Though he uses some of them as release aids, for the most part his interested is their use on the battlefield, and will not break their personality completely. Kotaro however, will treat people that willingly join his side with alot of respect.

He leaves his slaves with autonomy, as long as they serve him and will be protective of them, risking his life for them if needed. Kotaro isn't all evil and does have serious concern for the people close to him. Furthermore, he cares a lot about his half-sister Tokiko, his one true confidant, and looses his "cool" should something happened to her.

Though considerably cruel and more manipulative, he has a few moments of humanity and treats people like Amamiya Shisui very well. Isozaki Inori was one of his childhood friends, he will not harm her or her sister Isozaki Iori and does not wish to force their allegiance.

 Fuuma Ginrei and Nisha Gaiza | Interacts never with Ginrei and Gaiza. Ginrei still seems to hold slight feelings of family towards her siblings.

## Appearance

His design wasn't finalised in Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena and different artist depicted him also different. As a result, he shifts from a slim-masculine man with brown-black hair, with no tan, to light, to full darker skin tone. His face was also never shown in TABA and always left blank.

## History

Born as the son of Fuuma Danjo the head of the Fuuma clan, Kotaro is next in line as leader. He was born, around year **2057**, as one of, at least, 4 half siblings.

Kotaro always had a bad relationship with a father, that viewed his "family" as tools. Nothing is known about Kotaro's mother but Danjo would often sell his mistresses into slavery if he grew bored of them, it can be assumed she diid not have a happy end. Kotaro. grew up in the Fuuma Estate, with his half sister Fuuma Tokiko and some other members of the Fuuma clan. Fuuma Tokiko was was appointed as his personal guard, which also allowed the two to grow closer as real family, with Tokiko acting as servant, defecto mother and his older sister.

When he was around his teens, he rejected Tokiko, which was send out by Danjo's orders to "serve him". Not rejecting her look or character but saying that he would take everything from his father, by his own power and not because it was given to him. While Kotaro hated, being given something by his father, he promised Tokiko, he would steal her away from his father, with his own strength one day. Kotaro's true power of the Evil Power of absorbing people, was sealed by Danjo, out of fear but Kotaro awoke to a weaker version. He finished Gosha Academy and was friends with Isozaki Inori but for the most part kept to himself and, was not considered highly skilled or exceptional.

As the Fuuma clan lost influence, as the result of corruption, inflexibilities and a "clan before Gosha" ideology, the Igawa clan was appointed as representatives by the government. This angered Fuuma Danjo, which started a Fuuma Revolt, with a number of families and clan members. Both Kotaro and Tokiko opposed the conflict and another old friend Amamiya Shisui, also did not join Danjo. As the Fuuma Danjo revolt failed, he took most of the Fuuma clan with him to the UFS and Task Force G, leaving Kotaro behind more than 10 years before TABA.

Starting in Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena around his mid 20s, year **2082**, Kotaro tried to rebuild a New Fuuma Clan, with his half-sister and steward Fuuma Tokiko. Kotaro was able to use his Evil Eye that enables him to steal/seal any ability, to even capture opponents, that were much stronger than himself or used captives abilities on missions. Being less scrupulous, he kidnaps some of his enemies from the Taimanin, Demons and UFS, and had them join his faction. As his power grew, both the UFS and Taimanin started to send more agents to take him out, with his first hideout being taken out by a group of Olga Alekseevna Pavlova, which got captured regardless.

At which point Kotaro expands his Fuuma Organization, with multiple hideouts in Tokyo, Amidahara and other locations, some in skyscrapers while others just being family homes he took over. Over the span of the next 4-5 years, Kotaro would grow his crime empire.

At one point, he stole, Tia a pawn in Edwin Black's plan, and which caused a chain reaction, that resulted in him making contact with the Masked Taimanin of the DSO. Collecting at fist a number of Philosopher's Stones for her, either with her disguised as Oboro or pushing him into that direction. He closed a Otherworld Gate, with the help of Igawa Asagi and Annerose Vajra. Though Asagi still hunted him afterwards, both the Masked Taimanin and Asagi did not come after him and the DSO become moreso an important informant.

Strugging with some of the strange interdimensional Brain Flayer, he later found himself two new allies of a young Yatsu Murasaki (ZERO) and Igawa Sakura (ZERO) of another world. He also was often bothered or assisted by Minasaki and Lilim a pair of demons. Gained some support of the Onmyoji, Shiki Reika, a friend of Fuuma Tokiko and captured Kamimura Maika.

However, after one mission regarding a living Philosopher's Stone, Jelly. Kotaro confronted Edwin Black, for the first time, which used this chance to threaten him and forced him in a later event to strike against his rival the Corpse Lord (TABA). Learning, that now also Task Force G was after his life, he tried to gather intel and thanks to the capture of Shido Rinka, learned of a contact connected to his father Fuuma Danjo, which now worked for "G" and put up a hit on his son's life. Tokiko was captured by one of his half siblings Fuuma Ginrei but replaced by a Doppelganger, until an attack of Wight, the Revenant Knight of the Corpse Lord, killed the Doppelganger by mistake, leaving Kotaro in a frantic search for his sister.

As Kotaro used the support of the DSO and help of Koukawa Asuka, he learned that G had a partnership with the Incubus Faction and used some chaos to infiltrate their base. Defeating Danjo's right hand Fuuma Saika and killing Fuuma Gisuke, which had tortured Tokiko. After healing her mind, and some unsuccessful fights with Danjo, even capturing Fuuma Amane one of his strongest weapons. He overpowered him and his cyborg puppets of G with the help of Asuka. Killing his father, unleashed the seal placed on his eye and he displayed the ability to absorb somebody fully including their memories and skills if only temporary.

The Masked Taimanin and Asagi knocked him out, and placed him under protection fearing what would happen if he got to close to Edwin Black. Which had hoped Kotaro would kill his father to unlock his full power, as a worthy opponent. Kotaro escapes with his new ability as more troops of G, in the form of KINGS-3 Tesla swoop in.

Fürst now enters the scene and kidnapps Igawa Sakura (ZERO), and Kotaro, forms a short term partnership with Oboro of Nomad, as even though Fürst works also for Nomad both are enemies. Gaining, some "GPS" spell from Oboro after a bit of search, Kotaro sneaks back to Gosha Village and asks Amamiya Shisui for help with the Fürst situation. Confronting both Masked Taimanin and Asagi to stay out of the way, he displays his current power and returns both Kamimura Maika and Shido Rinka as a sigh of good faith, hoping they would ease on his pursuid. Defeating Fürst thanks to Shisui, getting Sakura back, double crossing Oboro and taking most of Nomad's territory in Tokyo Kingdom was the end result of the following raid of the Fuuma Organization.

Fuuma Saika, which had returned also caused some trouble, being capturd, escaping being captured again and being traded to Gosha, just to escape once more thanks to a demon called Chaos Order. While Saika's will was reduced, she made a last effort to take down Kotaro, giving herself an Inner Demon form but was defeated and joined Kotaro in honest. Astaroth, the Queen of the Inferno also made her appearance and after some fights, which ended in the death of many of Kotaro's men, agreed to have Kotaro as a "pet" and support him if he needed help but also warned him not to fight Black even more so if he thought he could win. Another Fuuma left over of the Nisha clan, Tekkain Kaworu leader of lower ranking ninja's of the Nisha came back to take Kotaro's spot and captured him instead. However, with the combined effort of the Fuuma Organization and DSO, Kotaro could free himself and defeat Kaworu, which became more convinced of his power even if she flet for now. Amamiya Shisui was injured thanks to Felicia and close to death, being kept alive at Gosha Village but would still support the Fuuma Organization near the end for their final battle with her Ninja Art Guardian from the distance, stating that she would protect Kotaro no matter what.

Near the end of TABA, around the year **2086**. The DSO learns the truth of "G", that their boss had been replaced by Nomad agent. A joined opperation of Taimanin, DSO and Fuuma's group, resulted in Mizuki Yukikaze and Kotaro spying on them, just for Kotaro to be captured once more and Yukikaze escaping to get help.

This resulted in a large scale battle against Nomad, in which many of the characters that Kotaro interacted with joined. However, in the frantic last confrontation with Edwin Black, Asagi and Tokiko are knocked down, with Asagi suffering from grave wounds. Kotaro used his Evil Eye to take her body to keep her alive but is pierced by Black, which starts to absorb them both and creates a Black Void, the start of a world Reset ability. As a last effort, Kotaro tried to exist Asagi's body and used his Evil Eye on Black absorbing Black instead. However, the world became dark and was destroyed to be reborn.

This resulted in an epilogue world or the RPGX Universes.

In the epilogue world, Kotaro still lives on with all the people he met but is confronted by Vampire Asagi a result of the messed up fusion, with her neither being fully corruped and his Evil Eye interrupting the reset. His memories return of that day, though the world ended his skill still "worked" somewhat. This created the chance for Kotaro to become a demon just like her but when Asagi asks him, he declines and proclaims that he will remain human, trying to steal everything. Asking Asagi, what she will do, she reverts back to her old human as light covers her body, saying that as long as he did criminal things, he would be their as a Taimanin to hunt him. Also she had grown bored of being immortal already, with Kotaro smiling in agreement that, he rather prefered this Asagi. A short timeskip, displays Kotaro still working together with Fuuma Tokiko, fighting against rival gangs.

## Powers/Abilities

**Main Weapon**: Katana

* **Ninja Art**: "**Evil Eye**", "**Demonic Gate**" His eye shines golden, it steals a power once he touches a target. Gives him an ability of his choice and makes the victim unable to use it. Can steal the good eyesight of a cat or the supernatural healing of a demon, as well as other Ninja Arts. Limited to a single stolen skill.
	+ His other eye shines silver. With it, he can use an ability, he has stolen in the past and can combine it with a skill he has stolen at the moment. Former targets are still able to use their skills. However, this is extremely taxing on his body and can lead to his death. **Able to use this later in the story.**
	+ **Demonic Gate Mode**: Able to absorb another person into himself, is able to learn their memories. It grants him, the full skill set during the time, and he cannot be detected.

		- **Stolen Shapeshifting:** He uses this ability to capture people from Gosha Academy, using the ruse of an instructor named Mr. Tanaka. (TABA only)
		- **Stolen Incubus abilities:** He has used this ability extensively on Lilith Abel Bindernagel. He can molest and arouse a target from a distance without being detected. It is not perfect however, as beings such as **Beririku** can detect his presence. He can also invoke dreams on a target while their bodies are placed on a trance as they are being violated. (TABA only)
		- **Stolen Elemental Attacks**: Like fire, ice or lighting.

* **Tactical Fighter:** Being physically weaker than a lot of his opponents he is smart enough to trap them or overpower them with a bit of planning.

However he is still a dangerous individual, being skilled in basic swordsmanship and ninja arts.
* **Particle Control**: As a Taimanin, he is able to manipulate Taima Particles to enhance his physical strength, speed and defense. The particles also are used to counter demonic influences and strengthen damage to demons.

## Media

* Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena

* Action Taimanin (Alt version)

## Trivia

* In game often just called "You" as an insert, later is called Fuuma, near the end of TABA's run his full name is given as Fuuma Kotaro.
* The fact that he is part of, at so far, four half siblings is confirmed in a Comiket 87 data book.
* When, Kotaro killed his father he states that he had been begging ten years too late, which could place his father escape at least over 10 years into the past.
* Technically Kotaro was drawn by many different artist even if they never used a full model. As his design wasn't clear, Kotaro had many body types, hair and skin colors. (check appearance)
* Kotaro's existence within the main canon or ZERO timelines has not been confirmed so far.
* Together with Kiryu Sabato, Sawaki Kosuke and Akiyama Tatsuro, he is one of the few male protagonists of the series.
* Kotaro seems to have a poor view on Akiyama Tatsuro, calling him the "Cuckold Taimanin". In the Online Universes, this is not the case as Tatsuro is even less relevant and is not mentioned outside of character bios as a failed relationship.
* Though he typically calls the shots, in the "What If" erotic events. Mizuki Shiranui, Oboro and Astaroth are able to capture him, in some of theirs.
* The RPGX version in the first chapters is 16 years old while the TABA version seems to be a man in his middle 20s. In both games multiple years pass so it is hard to say how old Kotaro really is. The age gap between Kotaro and Fuuma Tokiko seems to be smaller.
* He goes into the same class as Yukikaze in RPGX but finished Gosha Academy many years before TABA.
* It is mentioned in both RPGX and Action, that he skips the english classes of Kousaka Shizuru. Fuuma Tokiko in TABA also pushes him to be more active and less lazy.
* The tag "Criminal Taimanins" and "Independent Taimanins" only apply to his TABA version. As he fights against the Taimanin in TABA and is the leader of a crime group.
* Currently, Kotaro has the most Hypothetical Unborn Children in the entire franchise.
* The name Kotaro is said to be a hereditary name that has been used by the head of the Fuuma family for many generations. As such it is possible that Fuuma Danjo was called Fuuma Kotaro at some point as well but later changed it as a "Danjo" was originally the name of a government post.

### Etymology

\* '''Kotaro''' means "small" (太) ('''ko'''), "thick, big, great" (太) ('''ta''') and "son" (郎) ('''ro''').
