Shuu Rei Faun

A very righteous and kind-hearted man! Smash the enemy with your strong arms.

Shuu Rei Faun is voiced by Nishimura Tomohiro.

## Appearance and Personality

Literally, Shuu loves justice. He hates those who are morally weak and corrupt. He is also what would be considered a 'frantic' type, always feeling a desire to be doing something. This can cause him to feel lonely with a heart that's constantly burning to care for someone else. He's always got a positive and sunny disposition. He eats a lot. Even when he's in the middle of a serious situation or a crisis, sometimes his mood goes in the exact opposite direction of his positive disposition. He'll work with every last fiber of his being to stop a conflict, one way or another.

Although Shuu is a master of Kung Fu, he's lonely. When he was really popular among the teenage girls, that seems to be (according to them) when he appeared to be the most lonely. There was the impression that they saw him as kindness, honest, and firm with his feelings and actions. There's also an anecdote that there were many female fans who were rated as the "If you get married to Shuu" fans.

Shuu's father is a well-dressed and dignified Chinese man. He is like Shu Rei Faun in "Oishinbo". He is also quite strong. His mother has a big heart. Even though the Shuu family was quite wealthy, the children were brought up in a respectable manner. Her tutelage is the reason why her children grew up good and honest. She is an expert in Kung Fu and strong! Shuu's lifelong training in Kung Gu made him a master as well. Shuu has four siblings: a strong younger sister (Rinfi, 3 years younger), a cute younger brother, a mischievous younger brother (Meiliu), and a youngest sister (Yun). He was born into the wealthiest family of the five Troopers. It is great that he does not snub his nose at that. It is probably because of his good upbringing.

**Fun Facts**

* Hobbies: Eating and arm-wrestling at game arcades, playing NES, mountain climbing, Tai Chi Gen
* Favorite sport: Judo, Kung-fu, rugby
* People he admires: Shuu has been forced to help out in a Chinese restaurant since he was a child, so the cooks are the ones he looks up to.
* Dislikes: Konjac (Devil's tongue) and edible bird's nest
* Shuu can eat as much as ten hamburgers and five or six bento boxes before breakfast

## Biography

### Family History and Clan Lore

Minamoto no Yoshitsune lived from 1159 to 1189 AD. He was a military commander of the Minamoto clan of Japan in the late Heian ( Heian period 794 AD – 1185 AD) and early Kamakura (1185 – 1333 AD) periods. Minamoto Yoshitsune was chased by his brother Yoritomo and fled to Ōshū. Instead of committing suicide, he travelled from Hokkaido to the continent of Asia, and, supposedly, became Ghengis Khan. Based on this hypothesis, we figure that Yoshitsune bloodline then returned to Japan and was considered to be of Chinese descent.

Other sources say that Shuu is a descendant of a prominent overseas Chinese family that came to Japan during the Qing Dynasty. The lenged of Kongo was passed down as an oral history only among the Qing royalty, as well as Chinese familes living in Japan. According to them, there was an armor that has been handed down in the family that would reveal the family's true strength twhen they had taken root in Japan.

### Early History

Shuu's younger brothers broke a family heirloom while playing in the storehouse where the Shuu family's antiques were stored. Shuu was awakened to the spirit of "righteousness" by defending his brothers, then found a pearl in the storehouse. The bead was inert when held by others, but when Shuu took it, it glows and the word "righteousness" appeared on the surface.

## Armor and Powers

### Weapon

Kongo Tsue (金剛杖) Tsue = cane / staff / rod

Kongo's favorite weapon to use is the tsue. Although usually seen as a single rod, it can easily be separated into 3 sections. This is a weapon that's excellent for both offense and defense.

### Ballistic Attack

Gantessai (岩鎮砕) Rock Iron Crush

This attack concentrates the earth's energy to unleash a special attack that can easily beat an enemy. This attack was used in Shinjuku and was shown to be such a powerful attack that it completely crushed a building.

The energy emitted through the weapon of his armor contains the earth's energy. This makes Kongo physically the strongest Samurai Trooper.

**TROOPER'S COMMENTARY 2: A message from the five warriors**

Before "Samurai Trooper," I had played many non-human roles, such as animals, monsters, and demons, so when I got the role, I remember thinking, "I got it!

The role of Shuu was very similar to my own, and I was able to speak naturally rather than acting (except for the special moves).

The only thing I remember about those days is that I was busy, and I'm sure there were many things that left a lasting impression on me, but more than anything else, the things that come to the forefront are the work that was right in front of me, the live singing, the theater, and the fact that today became tomorrow, the days of light-gigabit speed.

The only thing I can't forget, or rather, the only thing that keeps buzzing around in my brain, is that I got a lot of energy from my fans at events and live performances. I also remember that I was always drinking.

I met a lot of people through my work and learned a lot about life, which is necessary for theater.

Looking back now, I was happiest when I was pampered by my fans.

To those who are still fans of Samurai Trooper, I would like to say, "Thank you so much. I will always be grateful to you even now. The memories of that time can be a powerhouse. I'll never forget the memories. I'd like to say it coolly, but sometimes I forget...
