## Physical Description

Red

**Ushirono Fuyu** (後之フユ) is one of the main characters of *ZENO*. He is initially introduced to players as an antagonist but is a potential party member in the Ushirono Part. Players will first encounter him collapsed on the 4th floor, where he later on vanishes and becomes an aggressive pursuer for various chase sequences.

## Personality

When Fuyu's ZENO is activated, such as when Aki and Tsugino first encounter him on floor 4, is jittery and giddy, with his one purpose to be to kill Aki. In this state, he does a full 180 from his base personality, save for his purpose of taking revenge. In this state, he cannot be reasoned with, but is still shown to have his own rather cunning ideals.

His normal personality takes much more of a serious tone. He harbors a deep anger for Aki, most of what we see of his personality after he regains his senses is a loyal yet unforgiving individual. He still cares deeply for Aki, but cannot allow himself to let Aki forget what he did to Natsu.

## Appearance

Ushirono Fuyu possesses a tall but defined physique, slim in body type. His hair is a vibrant shade of blue that stops short at the nape of the neck in spite of front bangs that cascade farther down. A set of scarlet-colored eyes shine in contrast to the blue. Throughout a majority of the game, Ushirono Fuyu is shirtless; he sports a simple attire consisting the following: a yellow raincoat, dark pants, and black shoes. A piercing can also be found directly at the center of his tongue. In True Ending H of the Ushirono Part, his bangs have been trimmed short. He also fashions a small segment of his hair into a side braid.

## Background

Born to Ushirono Kanrai, a "great" man of Japan, and Ushirono Ritsuka, Fuyu always tried to live up to his father's expectations. He met Maeno Aki when the two were children, as the boy was his neighbor. As he got to know Maeno, he felt defeated. He realized that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't match Maeno's genius. The two started out as rivals, eventually becoming close friends. At age six, his little sister, Ushirono Natsu, got ZENO. His father tried to cure it by working with Maeno, but failed, resulting in Natsu's death. Afterward, Fuyu used his father's connections to get into the ZENO facility Maeno where resided. He wanted to get revenge for Natsu and ended up taking advantage of the facility's director-- "crushing the ZENO facility from the back."

### Ushirono Natsu

Ushirono Natsu is Ushirono Fuyu's biological younger sister. Numerous flashbacks and framed pictures showcase Fuyu to be a doting older brother to his sister. Her death is a major catalyst for his downward mental spiral, leading into the insane behavior seen in the majority of the game's story.

### Maeno Aki

Before Ushirono Fuyu befriended Maeno Aki, Fuyu lived in tandem with constant pressure under the shadows of his father's figure. When Maeno became his neighbor, he came to develop a rivalry due to the other's natural genius — fueled by a spirited desire to live up to the expectations of the adults in his life. A childhood friendship blossomed from the relationship. After Ushirono Natsu's passing, the relationship between the two inevitably became strained. The two crossed paths later in life as work colleagues due to a shared career field in ZENO research.
