Her mind was overwritten by Hattori Seishu, but the process might have been not perfect. With the personalities mixing.

## History

She was in the General Staff of the Ground Self-Defense Force at the time of the Taiwan crisis, and Yamamoto, who was working on the operation at the same time, views her as dangerous.

At some point, Funako became the host body for Hattori Seishu, which real body was hurt after her Igawa Revolt Group failed to take over the Igawa clan.

Funako is the Chief of the Internal Affairs Bureau and uses it on multiple occasions against the Taimanin.

Funako is responsible for multiple attacks on the Taimanin but tends to be involved indirectly using the Internal Affairs Bureau, criminals and mercenaries. She tried to hire a serial killer of Gosha Village, Saito Hanzo and was responsible for freeing Igawa Senshu from Amidahara Prison. Used Louis The Shaman to set a trap for the Taimanin to create a scandal. She rebuilt Tekkain Bantetsu and gave him a new body in Miranda Closet. Funako is also the one that planned the raid on a Taimanin base in Senzaki.

At the end of her plans she sent her daughter, Igawa Senshu into a large raid against Gosha Village and was willing to sacrifice her using a nuke, just to get rid of Asagi. However, Asagi was able to talk down Senshu and "Funako"'s plan was revealed.

Fleeing to a Chinese Union embassy, she felt betrayed as Naito Arahiko would first return her to her old body, which was still kept alive. However, they never arrived and were instead captured by a group of Taimanin and Beast Kingdom forces. Her body was wounded by Fuuma Amane and she was arrested by Yamamoto Nobushige, with the plot still ongoing.
