**Fumiko Mifune** (三 (み) 船 (ふね) フミコ, *Mifune Fumiko*?) is a Public Safety Devil Hunter from Tokyo Special Division 7 who works with Hirofumi Yoshida. She is the bodyguard of Denji who attends Fourth East High School with him to protect Denji from threats who may know his identity as Chainsaw Man.

She first appeared in the Current arc of the Academy Saga, and is a supporting character.

## Appearance

Fumiko Mifune is a jolly young woman with short black hair. Her hair has a rather unkempt appearance though her bangs are tied into two ponytails at each side of her face. Fumiko's eyes are unusually large with giant black irises, containing a white circle within them. Her unusual eyes could be explained by a Devil contract, as was the case with Akane Sawatari. Her demeanor is also quite unique, as she is usually seen wearing a wide, uncanny smile on her face.

Despite her age, she dresses like a highschooler and usually wears the same school uniform that Asa Mitaka, and other girls from Fourth East High School have. Her appearance is considered "cute" by other characters. Outside of school, Fumiko wears black pants and a cropped shirt that shows off her midriff.

## Personality

Fumiko is generally a very upbeat woman who constantly has a smile on her face. She is also quite perverted as she gropes Denji's crotch without his consent and then offers to have sex with him despite them never having met before, and their age difference. Her attraction to Chainsaw Man does seem somewhat obsessive, saying that she fell in love with her "senpai" because he was the one and only Chainsaw Man. Fumiko generally seems to be a happy-go-lucky, fun-loving person who passionately sings karaoke in the middle of getting swarmed by an aggressive mob, stating that she didn't want her songs to get interrupted.

Overall, Fumiko's behaviour can be seen as quite inconsiderate, predatory, and unprofessional, groping a teenager without consent while knowing his age, wanting to do unsanitary activities like sexual intercourse in a semi-public location, encouraging Denji to do disturbing acts for her own entertainment, watching him in his bathroom without his knowledge, and making all kinds of sexual and romantic advances towards him. On top of this, she puts on an almost fetishistic persona of a high-schooler, referring to Denji as "senpai" while being his senior. She seems to care little about her job, singing karaoke instead of protecting Denji from attackers, revealing secret information to him without thinking and allowing Denji to be recruited into the Chainsaw Church when he is not supposed to turn into Chainsaw Man anymore.

She also loves fighting, as she grabs a baseball bat to join Denji fighting the mob instead of singing the song's second verse, saying that it seems "more fun." Furthermore, it appears that one of the main reasons as to why she fell in love with Chainsaw Man was due to his physical prowess.

However, Fumiko also resents Chainsaw Man to some extent, as he didn't save her parents while fighting the Gun Fiend. Despite that, she witnessed Denji crying and saw him for what he really was, a teenager. From that point on, she made up her mind and wanted to save him, claiming to be interested in Denji as a person and not the devil within him.

## Plot

### Current arc

After being introduced to Denji by Yoshida, she quickly sits down beside him and immediately starts groping his genitals, ignoring the sad story Denji was explaining. This throws Denji out of his depth, and leaves him speechless briefly. She inquires about his virginity and proposes that she could be his first sexual encounter, if he entertains her by licking a nearby corpse of a Devil. Denji is skeptical, yet he immediately goes to lick the tendril, with his obedience going to the extent that he sucks on it in a rather risqué manner just because she asked him to.

Subsequently, Fumiko escorts Denji to a private karaoke room, insinuating that the establishment's owner would overlook their intimate activities. Denji asks if they should start, before the date interrupts him with a spontaneous karaoke session. Denji considers her singing strong enough evidence that this entire date isn't a trap, before he's interrupted by a hoard of random men armed with baseball bats that try to assault him inside the room. Grabbing a bat from one of the strangers, he charges into the hallway and knocks out the rest of his attackers whilst Fumiko continues singing. As soon as she finishes, Denji turns to her, asking if there's a second verse, to which she says that the fight seemed more fun, picking up a bat of her own. The two of them engage in a staredown, only for the Fumiko to rush at him with her bat. However, instead of striking him, she throws it towards one of the fallen men of the ground, who appeared to be holding a gun. Picking it up, the date notes how it's only a model, though stating that it makes sense that they couldn't afford real ones.

Confused, Denji asks if she's actually his enemy, as despite her defending him, she was singing whilst he was being attacked. Yoshida answers for her, saying her name is Fumiko Mifune and that she's his "junior." Fumiko then reveals she's actually part of the Tokyo Special Division 7 for Public Safety, and that she's been assigned to be his high school bodyguard, despite being 22 years old. Fumiko swoons over Denji's strength in his human form, to which he replies that she's probably only flirting with him as part of the job. Fumiko disagrees, stating that she does actually really like him; after all, he is the one and only Chainsaw Man. Yoshida then gently hits Fumiko to reprimand her for not taking her job seriously, before reaffirming that Denji will never have to fight again.

## Abilities

As a Public Safety Devil Hunter hired to protect Denji, Fumiko is an experienced and trained professional.

### Physical Prowess

* **Enhanced Reflexes**: Fumiko was capable of narrowly avoiding Nayuta's chain aimed at her head.

### Skillset

* **Blunt Weapon Proficiency**: Armed with a baseball bat she was able to swiftly knock out and disarm a man brandishing a pistol, although the gun was later revealed to be non-functional.
* **Firearm Proficiency**: She was capable of wielding a handgun and used it to prevent Barem from transforming into his hybrid state.

## Trivia

* Fumiko's surname is comprised of the kanji "三" meaning "three" and "船" being an old spelling for "boat." Her given name, whilst not written in kanji, is fairly common, but often means "beautiful child", "child of history" or "child of art."
