Fuuma clan

Fuuma Tokiko is a member of the Fuuma clan

The **Fuuma** (**ふうま**) Taimanin clan, had many members known for their ability called the "Evil Eye".

It was once one of the leading clans of Taimanin across Japan. It plays an important role in the Online Universes.

## Structure/Politics

In the past, the clan was controlled by the "Eight Generals of the Fuuma" (**ふうま八将が**). An alliance of the clan masters and their families. The true main family would birth the Patriarch, that overlooked all the others and gave the final agreement. Multiple "families/subclans/branches" make up the Fuuma, but some have also left since the days of the "generals" with only the patriarch, and current steward making any choices. The clan is separated into "side branches" and a "main family". The leader of the side branches can become steward for the clan head from the main branch.

At the time, the clan had the strongest voice among the Taimanin but collapsed due to internal strife and conflict with the Igawa clan past. Depending on the game, the Fuuma clan has left the village or joined Gosha Village, ⁣⁣but those with the title of Eight Generals have no real power.

The Fuuma clan, was disliked for their power but also its tendencies of conservative self-serving prioritizing of the clan's benefits and profits, even above their mission as Taimanin. Unwilling to be work below any other clan and willing to fight with dirty tricks, it took until the modern age for this to change.

Regardless, even after reforms, many splinter groups can form.

## History

In ancient, times one of the founders was called "Fuuma Kotaro" a name that many heads of the family have taken.

The clan once was the leading clan of all Taimanins across the nation, but because of their self-serving nature, they were rather disliked. They at first operated out of small villages, including Fuuma Village. As the Japanese government pushed for unification with other Taimanin clans, and started to build Gosha Village, Danjo the clan head of the time seemed like the best choice for government contact and Taimanin commander. However, due to their tendencies, this caused more friction and conflict and Section Three decided after some scandals to appoint the Igawa clan. The elders of the Igawa clan established a new order, at first under Igawa Shuzen with the approval of Section Three of the government. The Elders, demanded more influence over the Fuuma, which just started to lose all their power, and did not approve.

As a result, Fuuma Danjo head of the clan at the time, lead a rebellion against Gosha Village, trying to take it over, some clan generals supported him. However, at least the Amamiya clan, Shido clan and Shinganji clan, did either join Gosha or remained neutral. The Nisha clan, suffered heavy loses and was even fully destroyed in TABA, with only a subsection escaping.

Danjo was defeated by the combined effort of a younger Igawa Asagi, and the new Gosha village. Regardless of timeline, the clan still is disliked and has become very weak.

### Timeline ZERO

Disliked clan is still part of Gosha Village.

### Timeline TABA

Fuuma Danjo survived and took most of the clan with him as he fled to the UFS, using Task Force G to gather strength. At the same time his son and daughter were left behind and formed the Fuuma Organization, which captured new members from the Demon, UFS and Taimanin side. Danjo send multiple agents from either G and his Fuuma Danjo Loyalists or his own group to kill Kotaro and shortly also captured Tokiko.

In the end, Danjo was killed by Kotaro and the clan was destroyed/absorbed into the Fuuma Organization.

### Timeline RPGX/Action

Danjo was killed, leaving only a few rebels behind that became Rogue Taimanin Fuuma Danjo Loyalists. The Fuuma clan joined with Gosha Village, thanks to his son Fuuma Kotaro. Some still look down on him for this, but Fuuma Kotaro has made some progress lifting the clan's reputation. The Nisha clan (One of the Eight Generals), never fully accepted Kotaro as the new head and formed a stronger rebel group, here called the Nisha Ninja Troops. Nisha Gaiza the leader and former friend of Kotaro, still now aims to take over the Fuuma clan in Gosha.

## Trivia

* The families' reputation had suffered a lot over the years and some view the Fuuma as power hungry and selfish. In Taimanin Asagi ZERO it is mentioned that the clan isn't considered that noble by Taimanin, thinking there is a lot of self-interest in it that puts the clan above Gosha Village.
* The "job" of Stewardess or Steward for Taimanin means something closer to "House Guardian or Clan Guard". Secretary, Maid and responsible for money, they are the highest ranked member next only to the clan head.
* The Amamiya clan, Shido clan and Shinganji clan are often mentioned as those that refused Danjo's call for rebellion and either remained neutral or supported Gosha.
* The entire clan, might be a bit of a reference to the Uchiha-Clan of Naruto. Both clans, have eye abilities, either the "Evil Eye" or "Sharingan", these abilities are often mental based or illusion based but often can also be very "broken". The clan "planned" in the case of the Uchiha a revolt against the Hidden Village of Fire (Konohagakure), while the Fuuma clan performed a revolt against Gosha Village.
* The Fuuma clan stands often against Gosha village in the online universes.
