She has long white hair with messy bangs, and a single lone braid on the right side of her cheeks. She is often seen dressed in the Toman uniform with a hood to hide her appearance, but outside gang activities she wears a white sweater, black sweatpants, and sneakers. She is also always seen bringing a blue fan patterned with white flowers.

As a member of Brahman, she wears a more decorated Brahman's uniform, similar with Senju, a baggy hoodie with flared sleeves, decorated with flowers and the gang's name. She also ties her hair into two space buns with a blue ribbon.

As a child, Fuyumi wore a black turtleneck and navy blue pants

## Personality

Despite her cold demeanor, Fuyumi is hot-headed but, a kind and caring woman with an unshakable character. She is compassionate towards others, especially her friends, and doesn't tolerate those who abuse their power to strike fear upon those lower than them. She is very quick to act when tending to those injured, even scolding them and threatening to beat up whoever did it. As she is temperamental in this situations, she is very prone to make rash decisions, such as going after Keisuke Baji at Valhalla's Hideout after beating up Chifuyu.

As the captain of the Tokyo Manji Gang Special Division, she is well respected by members who acknowledges her strength. She is usually being taunted and underestimated by newly recruits and delinquents of other gangs due to the fact of her being a female, but after witnessing her bare strength, her name alone could strike fear to other deliquents, earning her the nickname "Toman's Lioness". She is usually quiet during gang operations, though when provoked she does not hesitate to land the first blow, to the frequent dismay of Yukio and Kai Kurokawa.

She is also shown to be very close to Yui, and are known as a chaotic duo. They often get into trouble because of Yui's shenanigans, and yet Fuyumi continues to humor her as she finds her interesting. She also acts differently around girls unlike when she is with the boys. When with girls, she is usually seen smiling, with an upbeat tone on her voice, though when around guys she is seen with a poker face and speaks in a lower tone.

When truly angered, she appears as harsh and sadistic, to the point of smiling when beating up someone, slightly similar to Nahoya. Fuyumi hates those who underestimate her by saying, "she's just a girl." According to Draken, that line might just be another term for a death wish, as one time, Fuyumi almost beat up a guy to death after muttering those words.

Due to her Filipino Heritage, Fuyumi shows great respect to the elderly, even practicing the habit of *mano* which is a "honoring-gesture" used in Filipino culture performed as a sign of respect to elders. She is also very fond of animals, and well-liked by them as well.

## Skills and Abilities

### **Authority**

As the special division captain of Toman, Fuyumi is well-respected by its members. Due to her being a woman, when she engages into gang battles, the other members are motivated to win their battles to prove to her that they are worthy of being called men. Since she is also acknowledged by Mikey himself, she is well-known, not only in Toman but in other gangs as well.

### **Fighting Prowess**

Fuyumi has natural talent and is arguably the strongest female character in the series. Her epithet, the Untouchable Fuyumi, is indicative of her incredibly fast reflexes where she manages to finish off a battle without her opponents touching her, ending it with her signature hand chop move, also known as "Fuyumi's Iced Chop" due to her opponents becoming stiff as ice when knocked out.

Similar to Mikey, Fuyumi also favors her kicks more than punches, as it is much effective in terms of strength. Those who find their techniques similar begin to question if they are related, earning her the nickname, "Female Mikey".

### **Martial Arts**

She is also experienced in martial arts, this being one of the reasons of Fuyumi being a formidable enemy. She has honed her skills through years of training ever since she was 6.

Currently, she has shown to be capable of doing 6 types of kicks, these being: Front Kick, Side Kick, Hook Kick, Reverse Side Kick, Axe Kick, and her most famous Roundhouse Kick, also known as the "Manji Kick" which is done by releasing her knees to easily avoid their adversary's own starting motion. Instead of falling down, this move instantly guides her to the opponent's feet. From a lower position, Fuyumi utilizes this moment to strike with an upward roundhouse kick.

### **Endurance**

Faced off by stronger male opponents, Fuyumi was able to withstand powerful blows and manage to continue fighting. She can bear intense pain, to the point of smiling and sassing her opponent even after coughing out blood.

### **Medical Knowledge**

Due to her mother being a doctor in the Philippines, Fuyumi is able to treat injuries with ease. According to Chifuyu, despite Fuyumi's usual brash attitude, she has the most soft and gentle hands when tending to wounds.
