Fuuma Danjo

UFS

**Danjo** Fuuma (ふうま **弾正**) is a major villain of Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena.

Full name, Fuuma "Danjo" Kotaro, with Danjo being a nickname. Danjo is dead in the Action Taimanin and Taimanin RPGX games, and serves instead as an important background character in those games.

As the former Patriarch of the Fuuma clan, he is a responsible for the Fuuma Revolt.

## Personality

Danjo does vary strongly depending on TAB or RPGX timeline. The difference is in fact as strong as between Kotaro (RPGX) and Kotaro (TABA).

True for all versions was that was he loved and respected by his subordinates, who would've given their lives for him and feared by his enemies. Danjo is also a schemer and dislikes to be pushed around. Danjo one way or the other wishes to reform Japan. He is respected and did respect both Fuuma Amane and Fuuma Saika, for their power and abilities.

Danjo also tends to be a jealous person and does not like the idea of others gaining power over him or claiming his position. This could also be true for his own clan.

### Timeline TABA

Power-hungry and arrogant, he can only see himself on the top and will sell out to the UFS or demons for power. He has no love for his family or children, selling them into slavery if no longer needed. Only wanting to become the ruler of Japan and give it a new structure. Though very smart and using deception, it is noted by Fuuma Kotaro that beyond all his plans, most of his actions are painfully conservative and predictable. He held no love at this point for his family, Kotaro, Fuuma Tokiko and only shown some minor respect towards Fuuma Ginrei as a useful tool.

Just as his son, he has a tendency to run away, but worse also shifts blame away if pushed into a corner. For example, proclaiming that Fuuma Gisuke forced him to act as he did even if Gisuke was just following Danjo's orders. The sealing of Kotaro's abilities also was a result of fear from his son and fear of Edwin Black. He is very jealous and narcissistic, as Kotaro called himself the new Fuuma head, he took offense and ordered a hit on his life.

### Timeline RPGX

In his youth before the revolt, he defended his family often and shown love towards the next generation. He was ambitious and hoped to give the Fuuma clan a level of independence and freedom. Unlike his TABA counterpart, he did not view people as tools or if he did, never fully shown it. Regardless, he kept some of his children a secret.

He respected the suggestions of Bikuni Yao and was fairly reasonable.

## Appearance

He is a muscular middle-aged man, with brown hair. It is mentioned he looks older than he is. In TABA, he also became a cyborg and his arms are Prosthesis.

In his youth, he wore more traditional clothes for combat and had a beard.

## History

### Background

Fuuma "Danjo" Kotaro, was the patriarch of the Fuuma clan, and was later responsible for the Fuuma Revolt.

He is the father of Fuuma Kotaro, Fuuma Tokiko, Fuuma Ginrei and secret son Nisha Gaiza. He inherited the name "Fuuma Kotaro" but preferred to be called Fuuma Danjo as a nickname. Danjo knew most of the powerful elite of the dark world and was well-connected to the UFS. Using Task Force G to give Fuuma Saika and Fuuma Amane a Prosthesis after they both lost limbs against demons or the Igawa clan.

Back in his prime, he was seen as a revolutionary who aimed for the independence of the Fuuma clan and control over Gosha. Because of either the extremely bad blood between the Igawa clan and Fuuma clan or a number of corruption scandals the Fuuma were involved in, his clan lost influence. Danjo was the first Taimanin Chief Commander before Igawa Shuzen and later Igawa Asagi. As the Fuuma clan was the biggest next to the Igawa clan and Koukawa clan but the government, Section Three , started to move into the direction of the Igawa clan.

The Fuuma clan was comprised from multiple sub-clans including the Shinganji clan, Shido clan, Nisha clan, Amamiya clan and Hagekure clan, among many others, which also had their own individual clan heads. While, Danjo had many defenders and loyal subjects including Fuuma Saika, Fuuma Amane, Sango Bungo, Tekkain Bantetsu or Bikuni Yao, conflict within the clan over the direction they should take next was not fully agreed on.

However, Danjo pushed forward against all rejection and attacked Gosha Village from Fuuma Village. This Fuuma Revolt, in the year **2068**. Many sub-clans instead joined Gosha or remained fully neutral, and with almost no allies left, as the Igawa (or moreso Gosha itself) had become a giant alliance. He still caused significant damage, but ultimately was defeated by Igawa Asagi and Koukawa Oboro. Danjo from this point on was seen as a traitor, and the reputation of the Fuuma clan, dropped to yet new levels.

### Timeline TABA

Within this timeline, which aligned more to the normal canon, before the 2068 Disappearance of Kurenai and reveal of multiple corruption scandals involving the Fuuma leading to it, resulted in a push of the Igawa Elder, for new leadership As mentioned above. the Fuuma clan lost power and Danjo aimed to reclaim it by force in the revolt 2068 itself.

However, this version of Danjo was far more cruel, he violated Tokiko's mother and later sold her to orcs. Danjo sealed his son's true strength in the TABA timeline, as he was afraid that he could not control that power which would also get Edwin Black's attention. The Revolt seemed to have come from more selfish reasons in this timeline or afterward, he was a changed man, driven by greed and revenge against Igawa Asagi.

Surviving and escaping Fuuma Village, he defected to the UFS. Forcing Fuuma Kotaro (TABA) to rebuild the clan from nothing, as most loyalists members joined Danjo including Fuuma Ginrei, one of his daughters he deemed useful, Amane and Saika. He cooperated with the UFS and used "G" to become a cyborg himself. It is unknown if he lost his arms in the fight with Asagi or turned himself into a cyborg on purpose for revenge.

Danjo also turned some of Kotaro's former friends into weapons, like KINGS-11 Saix and KINGS-10 April, which are now more machine than human. Danjo either disguised (or just one of his contacts) as Hirai had connected to Shido Rinka and Alberta, even if they never knew who he really was.

As his son Fuuma Kotaro (TABA) gained fame, and formed the Fuuma Organization, **2082,** and got in the way of Task Force G. The now older Danjo, put a hit on his head, in the year **2083**. Viewing Kotaro as a rival for his power in the Fuuma clan, hoped to sabotage and kill his son.

Though this only resulted in Kotaro finding out about it thanks to the hunt for "Hirai" and interaction with Edwin Black, which confirmed Danjo was after him.

In the year **2083**, As Kotaro was busy with other things at the time, Danjo kidnapped Fuuma Tokiko with the help of his other daughter Fuuma Ginrei. Though, not explicit Tokiko was swapped most likely by a Doppelganger until an attack by the Corpse Lord, killed the fake Tokiko and revealed that Tokiko had been missing. As both the Masked Taimanin did mention a "spy" which could have been many people and Danjo often uses Doppelgangers.

Before that reveal, Danjo sent Asagi (Clone) of Task Force G after, Kotaro a plan that failed. Danjoi is later confronted in Yomihara for the first time, but his Evil Eye makes him almost immune to attacks of Fuuma members. To give himself cover, he leaked false information to Shinganji Kurenai and Makishima Ayame, who started to attack Kotaro. Danjo did in fact reveal he had taken Tokiko but refused to give her back just to torture his son. Tokiko meanwhile was being trained by one of Danjo's loyal "pawns" Fuuma Gisuke a brutish trainer.

Kotaro was able to discover, that Danjo's G had a partnership with the Incubus Faction of Kuroi Ryuuji and was allowed to use one of the hideouts of the group as a base. Creating chaos in the city, Danjo was stopped by Yatsu Murasaki (ZERO) and Shiki Reika, the Onmyoji and friend of Tokiko. Meanwhile Kotaro, broke up the current deal and freed, Tokiko. As the deals with the Incubus Faction broke off, Danjo made a stronger effort against Kotaro.

In the year **2084**, he sent, Fuuma Amane and a number of Doppelgangers after Kotaro, who tried to relax for once. However, Amane as well was defeated and captured. Another trap used, Ryomanin, Yomi Akitsu in which he tricked her to kill Kotaro for information. However, always planned to use Fuuma Saika, to make sure they would kill each other. As DSO and Fuuma Organization worked closer together in their hunt for Danjo, they found one of his hideouts. Using Saix and April, former friends of his son now only drones as guards. He also used his Evil Eye to control Tokiko, who still was under the influence of her training at the time. However, when the DSO rushed in to defeat Danjo, he had already switch places with a Doppelganger.

As a powerful demon witch entered the Taimanin world in Guignol Faust, and turned a number of people into plushes in Tokyo Kingdom, his son saved the day but using that chance as everybody was weak, he sent Clone Asagi once more to kill him. Throwing more of his troops against Kotaro, could not stop his son however. Reaching a church, he had captured Igawa Sakura (ZERO) at gunpoint by Clone Asagi. However, Kotaro was supported by Koukawa Asuka, and thanks to her provocation Asagi just rushed to take Asuka down. As Kotaro used a stolen Fire Art to burn the church, the large laser of Asuka knocked out the clone and Danjo was left helpless on the ground.

While begging for his life, and claiming he sealed Kotaro's power for "his sake", Kotaro was able to tell that this were more so half truth. Stating that an apology was 10 years too late, he burned away Danjo's head killing him. This lead to Kotaro fully awakening his art, which now could absorb people to gain their memories and skills if only temporary.

His second hand Fuuma Saika, later escaped and used Danjo's cells to awaken to her Inner Demon form. However, after a final defeat acknowledged Kotaro as the new head of the clan, having overcome the grief of losing her master.

### Timeline RPGX

The Fuuma clan and the Igawa Elders had a stronger conflict in this timeline. Danjo has ambitions of independence, which made him a target for the Igawa Elders.

A noticeable difference is also that Danjo, did not have the same Ninja Art, for yet unknown reasons.

In this timeline, he also was instructed much more often by Bikuni Yao an ancient Fuuma Taimanin, which acted as his advisor. Danjo is overall less evil in this timeline. The more insane acts, are done by some of the leftovers of the Fuuma revolt which refused to stop the fighting, like Tekkain Bantetsu and later Nisha Gaiza. Gaiza's mother claiming he is one of Danjo's 4 children he had.

Fuuma Tokiko, though very young is made the protector of Kotaro and given a fair bit of influence in the clan. To appease the more conservative parts of his clan, for his often more ability based choices for power positions. He brought Sango Bungo and Izumo Kinu together for political reasons, the Izumo being more traditional.

In one of the pre-war events, Fuuma Amane is ordered by Danjo to stay back, and guard Fuuma Kotaro together with Fuuma Tokiko, for her aggressive attacks on Igawa troops. Danjo helps Amane to overcome her frustration, and helps her warm up to the idea. While on a beach, a trap for Amane by the Igawa elders almost leads to her death or insanity. However, Danjo is able to scare away both Igawa Senshu and the hound of the Igawa elders, Kono Reima.

Danjo later died, during the Fuuma Revolt **2068** but the details are not known. As a result, the Igawa Elders wished to kill all the Fuuma clan, but thanks to Fuuma Kotaro asking for help of Asagi, this was avoided. It is noted that Danjo here had less overall support with Fuuma Saika his secretary not going into combat.

He is still seen as a traitor and some Fuuma clan members still follow his beliefs, including Nisha Gaiza.

### Timeline Action

## Trivia

* The fact he had at least four children with four different mistresses is later confirmed in a Comiket 87 data book.
* Also written as Danjou.
* His fate can be seen as a large divergent point for the Fuuma clan and Kotaro.
* He is the only character that changed Ninja Art depending on timeline, while Kotaro just lost his between TABA and other online timelines.
* The tag "G Associates" applies only to his TABA version.
* A supporter formation of Fuuma Saika and Fuuma Amane, mentions Danjo in Action Taimanin. As they are called "Danjo's Most Loyal".
* In a certain event, Fuuma Aki is sent into an alternative world of RPGX, in which **Fuuma Danjo** never revolted. In that world he still lived in peace under Igawa Asagi but still lost his arms and looks like he did in TABA
* The later RPGX version of his, which is less "pure evil" takes many design clues from Nobunaga Oda designs, including his armor. His ambition is pointed out but is far less one-sided evil. The connection to Nobunaga is also done by his different Evil Eye, the conqueror.
* His backstory and even the "Evil Eye" might have a connection to the Sharingan of Naruto and "Fugaku Uchiha" who also started a village revolt for his own clan. The story is even more so mirrored later in RPGX, as just in Naruto it is given more nuance. As people like the "Igawa Elders" and "Danzo" of Naruto being those that pushed things over the edge.
