Fuusuke, also known as Fuusuke of the Wind (風の風助 Kaze no Fūsuke) or Rat Ninja Fuusuke (子忍風助 Ne-Nin no Fūsuke), is the main protagonist of both the Ninku anime and manga. He is the former captain of the first division Ninku unit.
Born isolated from his parents due to the war, Fuusuke eagerly learns the art of Ninku at a very young age in hopes to stop all the violence plaguing the world he lives in. He is one of the youngest Ninku members and is also the youngest Ninku captain out of all twelve of them.
Unlike an average twelve year old boy, Fuusuke is extremely small and scrawny with black slick hair. Especially when compared to fellow Ninku Captains, Fuusuke is the shortest and youngest of the entire unit. Despite his size, Fuusuke is more known for his large head and outlandish looking facial features. He has large eyes, a big curved upper lip, a small nose and a long tongue that is usually sticking out of his mouth. With these features, Fuusuke is often compared to the face of a frog.
In the manga, Fuusuke is a bit bigger in overall size, wears a backwards green cap (red on the Vol. 1 Cover), an orange short sleeved collared shirt with the top button undone and small black stripes on the collar and cuffs of his untucked shirt, a black backpack and red shorts with blue and white sneakers. In the anime, Fuusuke's attire is slightly altered. His shirt is tucked in, the collar and cuffs are white, his backpack is blue and wears small yellow and black tennis shoes.
In Ninku Second Stage, Fuusuke is barefoot and does not wear a cap, but instead wears a pair of khaki shorts and a white t-shirt with the latter being absent during the manga's run.
Personality[]
Fuusuke has shown to be a very calm, laid back and curious child, often seen from him holding his hands behind his head as he walks, stands in place and even when sitting down. He is often relaxed in most situations; such as when he was falling down a pit that led to a floor of spikes and poisonous gas, he remained calm and collected as he figured out a way to escape. However, Despite that being his common demeanor, Fuusuke becomes very expressive when emotional along with speaking in two verbal tics when he expresses himself, "zo" (ぞ) and "dazo" (だぞ). Being a former Ninku captain, Fuusuke is mature, collected, well mannered and a good leader despite being a 12 year old boy.
Despite losing his parents at a young age (only his father in the anime), Fuusuke has grown to be pure of heart with a good sense of justice and morality. If he sees someone in danger, he will do his best to rescue and protect them, even putting his own life at risk; in the anime, Fuusuke valiantly sacrificed himself to Ajirada's soldiers to protect an orphanage. In the manga, he ceased his battle with Hamaji to save a squirrel from a tumbling tree only to leave himself open to an attack.
Fuusuke strongly abides by the Ninku style which when in combat has made him nonlethal and more of a pacifist. When Takeshi found out that Fuusuke was a Ninku user and pointed his gun at him, Fuusuke only asked why he was pointing his gun at him then assured him that Ninku weren't evil, defusing the situation in the process. However, Fuusuke has moments where he has been prompted to murder (Hamaji after being caught in Touji's cloth leaving himself wide open to attack but stopped by Aichou), and when he has murdered someone out of anger (decapitating the man that had gunned down Kurenai).
During the beginning of the manga, Fuusuke shows a very comical appetite. His stomach makes a growling noise so loud that people nearby will mistake the noise for a monster attack or an earthquake. Throughout a new venture in his journey, he almost always starts it being extremely hungry, owing to his constant claim that he often eats worth the same as twenty men combine and will eat anything despite how it tastes. His hunger usually leads him to search for a town to find some type of restaurant or anyone offering money or food and sometimes acquire a part time job to receive money or even just a single meal. However if Fuusuke is currently helping someone in need, he'll simply ignore his hunger and focus on lending a hand.
Although being Jubilant and respectful, Fuusuke has also shown to be blunt and somewhat naive. He is very nonchalant to the point that he tells Shuri's father that his cooking is downright nasty after being fed multiple dishes or when tells Sayaka that despite looking like his mother, her breasts are much bigger in comparison. Fuusuke's naivety and obliviousness mostly stems from him being a very young kid as he harbors the traits of constantly getting lost, not knowing what a "pick up" is or confusion from seeing a middle finger hand gesture.
History[]
Manga[]
First Stage[]
Awakening to the new EDO[]
"Who me? My name's Fuusuke."
Fuusuke introduces himself
After the introduction into the third year of EDO, Fuusuke is laying around in the middle of nowhere starving as his stomach makes extremely large growling noises. The noises grab the attention of two farmers Shuri and Yuka who come to feed Fuusuke a riceball. To Fuusuke's surprise he quickly shoves the riceball into his mouth and biting Shuri's had in the process but complained that it wasn't salty or wholesome for someone like him who eats the same amount as twenty men combined. Shuri was ready to take his little sister and ditch Fuusuke until they were both stopped by the constant growlng of Fuusuke's stomach. Shuri then reluctantly invites Fuusuke to their home where he can eat more to Fuusuke's delight, latches on to Shuri and licks his face in excitement.
At the farm, Fuusuke had finished a multitude of dishes that both he and Shuri agreed were totally horrible, to which their father comes in and stubbornly declares his food to be delicious as he walks off. The two properly introduce themselves with Shuri also introducing his young and mute sister Yuka which catches Fuusuke's attention as Shuri explained the aftermath of the war. Fuusuke tries to get Yuka to talk complimenting her looks and saying she would look cuter if she would crack a smile much to Shuri's ire. He then also says to Shuri the reason he was out in the fields was to find medicine for an old lady that he wanted to help. After the conversations, the three head out to the fields to work until they found half of Shuri's cattle to be dead. He and his father come to the conclusion that Ninku were responsible to Fuusuke's shock.
Later that night, Fuusuke decided to spend the night in their home in which Shuri began to explain who the Ninku were, a group of evil soldiers that combined the powers or martial arts and ninjutsu. Fuusuke attempted to explain their true intentions of the Ninku but decided against it. Shuri then revealed that Yuka's mother was killed amonst the many people in the war, giving the reason that she became mute. Yuka then walked in with a pot of flowers to which Fuusuke quickly called pretty and envied her for still having family, the three then went to sleep.
Fuusuke defeats the leader
The next morning, Fuusuke began to leave as he was given 50 riceballs for his troubles, he was then told he could come back at anytime but as he was leaving, he gave Yuka a rare jewel given to him by his mother as he tells her not to worry as he had a second one, and declared they two were friends. As Fuusuke left, he saw two people playing by a pond that caused him to reminisce about himself and his mother. He then got lost and
hungry and planned to return to Shuri and Yuka until he came across the pot of flowers seen in their home. When he picks them up, he overhears two people talking about the Ninku causing chaos again, specifically kidnapping a young girl to which Fuusuke grabs and interrogates. Moments later, Fuusuke arrives at the hideout and quickly dispatches of a few henchmen before making his way into the Ninku hideout to find Yuka and tell her that he found her flowers as well as taunt Shuri for getting beaten up. Fuusuke then makes contact with their leader who declares himself to be among the group of Ninku to which Fuusuke quickly calls weak. The two battle which Fuusuke emerges victorious with relative ease until the leader then pulls out a gun and shoots him in the back of the head. Fuusuke is presumed dead until emerging from a substitution technique and incapacitating the leader once and for all. Fuusuke then reveals that he is the former leader of the first division Ninku troops and that the leader was never a Ninku to begin with.
Back at the ranch, Fuusuke joins in mourning over the loss of Shuri and Yuka's father who sacrificed himself to protect the ranch. Afterwards, Fuusuke truly departs but not before Yuka began to speak to Fuusuke's surprise and happiness.
After his departure, Fuusuke wakes up from a bad dream, but as he planned to fall back to sleep, he overheard two people talking about money. Fuusuke then walks over and introduces himself to a teenage boy and a younger boy named Sekichi who had gave the teenager a bit of money. When the teenager leaves, Sekichi flips him off behind his back to Fuusuke's confusion as he didn't know what the gesture meant. Later on, Fuusuke walks into town unknowingly scaring the citizens with his growling stomach, Until suddenly, he caught wind of Sekichi stealing his mother's wallet and promptly stopped him.
Fuusuke leaping up after showing sekichi it's okay to get hurt
Sekichi tells Fuusuke that he gave the bully all off his money to prevent getting hurt as he feared pain way too much. Fuusuke empathizes with Sekichi, saying that he also doesn't like pain but prompts him to stand up for himself and be brave. The two see a trio harassing a woman which gives Fuusuke an idea as he walks over. The trio focus their attention on Fuusuke who flips them off while asking them what it meant. After he got his answer, Fuusuke quickly flipped the trio off again only to get beaten down, bloodied and battered as the woman fled from the scene and the trio head back into town. Sekichi hovers over Fuusuke's body asking if he was still alive to which Fuusuke springs back onto his feet giving Sekichi an example of how to deal with pain. Fuusuke then walks back into town in search of the trio.
Once Fuusuke then meets back up with them, he learns that the man that beat him up was a man who had fought in the same war as Fuusuke, as he quickly replies with his former status of being a Ninku captain. As the man wound up his punch, Fuusuke quickly countered knocked him out with a single blow. Soon after leaving the town to journey off to the next, Fuusuke runs into a beaten down Sekichi who had stood up to his bully. Sekichi then declared that he would become stronger so that he would no longer get hurt much to Fuusuke's delight, the two walk in opposite directions bidding each other farewell.
As Fuusuke continued his quest to find medicine by walking into the next town, he nearly falls into a booby trap set up by three nearby pranksters who filled the bottom of the trap with feces and urine. Without knowing it, the trio see Fuusuke immediately leap from the pit and land on his feet without either of them coming close to hiting his shoes due to kicking his feet into the wall of the pit before falling any deeper. After a formal introduction, Fuusuke bids the pranksters farewell, but stops to pee. Suddenly, Fuusuke hears a rally of people screaming in terror of a man that had robbed a bank and kidnapped a young girl. He hears that the man who was committing the crime was an old factory owner who had recently gone into debt and was apparently stealing the money to save his property.
Fuusuke gives a riceball to the arrested robber.
Once the old man yelled at the policemen and the town's folk, Fuusuke instantly appears in front of the two, asking if everything was alright and that he would be fine in his situation after being warned by the police not to go any further. With Fuusuke comforting the hostage, the robber decides to sneak up on Fuusuke with a katana and move it closer to him as a scare tactic, but as the blade made its way across Fuusuke's head, Fuusuke turned to the man and advised him that it would have no effect on him. Despite the warning, Fuusuke was struck with the blade and fell down in front of the entire crowd presumed dead on the spot, but as Fuusuke's corpse soon formed into a log, he emerges and knocks the old man to the ground with one hit.
The policemen quickly arrest the man who yells out to two people in the crowd who tell him that his factory is now there's and is property of the Ninku. Fuusuke became enraged with the events, but before he sets off to confront the two men that had set up the robber, he approaches him and gives him something that he claims to treasure: a single rice ball. With the two Ninku imposters leaving the scene, Fuusuke stops them and beats them senseless before setting off again, only to once get caught in another of the three pranksters' traps.
The next day, Fuusuke soon walks into a night club known as DISCODIS mistaking it for war zone due to the large number of people inside. Once he enters, he butts in on a conversation with men flirting with women and decides to introduce himself as well. the women immediately crowd around him and and kiss on his face. As he tries to shake away, he sees a distressed woman talking to a man and escapes from the groups grasp and walks forward to her asking to be friends. The woman denies and tries to neglect him but hears his growling stomach then immediately takes him to the club's catering. Fuusuke soon eats all of the food in catering lying down on the floor stuffed, but soon gets up to leave after Midori exits.

Fuusuke is given Midori's panties as his clothes were drying off and asks her about her hatred of men to which he sarcastically talks about the place she hangs out at is void of men. Later on that night, Fuusuke learns that Shirata, Midori's stalker snuck behind her outside of the disco and attempted to murder her, only for Fuusuke to jump in and swap Midori out with the substitution technique then quickly incapacitates Shirata before announcing his status as a former Ninku captain. Midori questions why Fuusuke even decided to save her, to which Fuusuke says that she reminded him a lot of his dead mother and wanted to befriend her as well as returning her panties.

Fuusuke's Journey and Rihoko[]
Fuusuke awakens.
After waking up from a nightmare and realizing that he hadn't eaten for three days, Fuusuke finds Hiroyuki laying in the middle of the road weak and starving. Fuusuke picks him up and sees a motorcycle gang wheeling towards them. Hiroyuki propels them out of harms way with a humongous fart annoying Fuusuke as well as knocking out a few of the bikers. Fuusuke then walks to a sign and sees that a town is close by, the two then venture forth to the town in order to find food.
Fuusuke and Hiroyuki finally make into town and find a restaurant and enter in hopes of finding someone to serve them. To no avail, Fuusuke then decides to leave until a loaf of bread falls on his head and he finds Hiroyuki on the bread shelf eating all of the bread. The two get into a scuffle while the owner finally shows himself armed with a wooden stick and promptly knocks out Fuusuke for a short time. He is blamed for eating all of the bread and is sent the be strapped to a tree as punishment along with Hiroyuki.
The owner and his wife discuss whether or not if the punishment is suitable for him as well as hearing that former Ninku troops would return to their village. Fuusuke is shocked by hearing Ninku until a young girl comes out and introduces herself to them. Her name was Mika, and she was the owners daughter who Fuusuke quickly befriends before being fed an apple by Mika. Fuusuke asks why her father why they fear Ninku only to be told that they have continuously attacked her village as well as many others to Fuusuke's denial. An elderly couple that have overheard their conversation strongly suggest that Mika had been telling the truth and that if the Ninku hadn't been around, the war would've never begun. Fuusuke continued to disagree, saying that the Ninku had fought for peace and that the Imperial Army were evil.
The argument was then interrupted by the sounds of motorcycles, Mika says that they were the aforementioned Ninku while Fuusuke recognized them as the bikers that he and Hiroyuki saw before. Seeing the gang destroying the town and beating Mika's father, Fuusuke sprang into action but was stopped when Hiroyuki's side of the rope got the two caught by a well. After breaking free from the ropes, Fuusuke found that Mika had been kidnapped by the motorcycle gang then decided to go rescue her.
Following the gang to an abandoned house, Fuusuke and Hiroyuki began walking inside with Hiroyuki knocking out the outside guard with a fart. Fuusuke breaks through a door knocking out two more guards and reaching Mika and another female. He is then caught by the other members and begins running forward as they shoot at him. Fuusuke is presumably gunned down until it is revealed to have used a substitution technique to meet up close with the shooters and begin retaliating. After quickly dispatching the guards and rescuing Mika and the other female, Fuusuke comes face to face with the leader who reveals himself to be Tatsumi, a former Ninku captain.
Fuusuke easily defeating Tatsumi
Fuusuke and Tatsumi then reach lower ground to begin battle. Tatsumi surrounds Fuusuke in flames that are quickly dispatched as he declares Tatsumi's attacks to be weak to be compared to that of a Ninku captain. Fuusuke then attacks him as well as taking down the last of Tatsumi's gang before Tatsumi gets up and attempts to attack him with flame again before they are reflected back and completely backfired with the use of Fuusuke's Fuatsusho before finishing him off with clubbing blows. Fuusuke then reveals himself to Tatsumi as the former Captain of the 1st division Ninku corps.
After the battle, Fuusuke, Hiroyuki, Mika and the other female return to the village to merriment until Mika informs the town that Fuusuke is a Ninku user himself to everyone's shock. Fuusuke is then told to leave the town to which Fuusuke wholeheartedly complies as he turns to leave with Hiroyuki and their new companion Rihoko. Mika then catches up to them and says she believes that he isn't evil and hands the trio bread as they leave. The three are then sailing along a river as Rihoko and Fuusuke properly introduce themselves to each other. Rihoko states that she is looking for her brother: Ninku Captain of the 6th division, Touji.
Reuiniting with Aichou[]
Fuusuke and co. later arrive at another village in attempt to get a meal, but arriving at the first building, Fuusuke gets thrown out immediately. After Rihoko's plan to get food backfired, the three meet a young village boy named Takeshi who offers them his lunch. Takeshi then states that his village was under siege by Daimyo and that the citizens couldn't be able to share much of their food with outsiders. He then talks about the Ninku and his plans to do away with any that comes in his way much to the silence of Fuusuke. Just then, Takeshi's brothers approach informing him that they got a hold of a high jumping Ninku user that Fuusuke quickly identifies as his old friend Aichou.
Takeshi attempting to apprehend Fuusuke.
Later on, the trio enter an Imperial Army fortress after boarding a Daimyo food truck that had driven to it. The three sneak inside and reach Aichou's cell who they watch him fighting a desk. Fuusuke and Hiroyuki then approach and break him out, only to be spotted by army soldiers. Aichou picks everyone up and escapes by jumping through the window above escaping the fortress and talking about the current events of the army and the Ninku. Takeshi and his brothers soon approach the four of them aiming their weapons at them after witnessing them help Aichou escape. Fuusuke curiously wonders why Takeshi took aim at him and his friends then reminded him that it was the army's fault that Takeshi was in this situation in the first place. Takeshi and his brothers then quickly took aim and fired at all four of them claiming that he had no other choice only to find that they had used a substitution technique to evade the attack. Fuusuke, Aichou, Rihoko and Hiroyuki would then vanish after Fuusuke parted by saying that Takeshi was a good person for feeding him.
Fuusuke defeating Lee with a Kuatsuken.
The group later observe that the brothers were apprehended by the army for letting Aichou escape, Fuusuke then decided to go rescue them and blamed the empire for Takeshi's actions. Fuusuke and Hiroyuki would then arrive at their cell to break them free but would soon learn that the reason for them being locked up were to lure Aichou and himself back to the lair to be killed. As he walked closer to the trio, Fuusuke was then caught underneath a trap door that led down to a floor riddled with spikes. While falling, Fuusuke noticed a nearby nail that he quickly latched onto to prevent falling to his demise, but the room quickly filled with poison gas. Fuusuke would begin holding his breath until finding a way out. Aichou would fall down a trap door leading to the cellar as Fuusuke took the opportunity to propel himself out jumping off Aichou's stomach as he came face to face with the commander of the fortress, Lee. Despite trying to reason with the commander, Fuusuke engages in a battle with him in which he uses his signature attack: the Kuatsuken to pierce through his metal armor and defeat him with ease. Everyone left the fortress and by the time they were far away, the fortress exploded as Fuusuke explained that the poison gas would spread throughout so he started a fire. Fuusuke and Hiroyuki then ran off in victory with Rihoko yelling at him for running off.
Reuiniting with Touji[]
Fuusuke and co. would travel through the middle of a sandstorm, looking for the next village get rest and would be place in front of one after the sandstorm subsided. Once inside the village's hotel, it is shown to be barricaded by the owner in preparation for a Ninku invasion which led to Fuusuke and Aichou springing into an argument with the owner about the Ninku's true intentions but was abruptly halted by Rihoko. Fuusuke then wonders about the Ninku that the owner was referring to, believing that they were the ones, when suddenly soldiers of the Imperial Army marched in and announced that they were taking every room in the hotel to keep watch over the possible invasion.
Aichou then asks what the repercussions of not leaving their room would be, and when the soldier points his gun at the three stating that he would kill them if they did not comply, Fuusuke instantly swapped the gun with the broomstick humiliating thre soldier as he and his subordinates exited. Fuusuke then says that they couldn't stay much longer as the entire village was surrounded by imperial army soldiers. The imperial army would reenter the room led by the commander, as Fuusuke swiftly told them that they all needed to learn manners as they did not knock. The commander was then angered by Fuusuke and ordered the men to fire, but Rihoko then pointed out that one of the soldiers was in fact her older brother Touji. The soldier claimed that he did not know any of them before giving them the count of three before he and the other soldiers opened fire. Fuusuke, Rihoko, Hiroyuki and Aicho were gunned down and quickly but were quickly transported away from the village as a result of their substitution technique. Fuusuke soon pointed out that Touji counting to three before firing may have been giving him and the others time to prepare the technique stating that he may have a certain reason for being in the army.
Later on, Fuusuke and Rihoko would follow Touji around the hotel into the bathing room where he washed the back of the commander. During the commander's conversation with Touji, he reveals that person that carried out the order for killing of the remaining Ninku was Ajirada, one of the army's great tacticians. Touji then says that his plan for killing the Ninku was a lie then tries to leave but is then shot at leading Fuusuke to then charge in and kick the gun out of the commander's hand. More Imperial Army soldiers then charged in and began firing at the three, leading Fuusuke to use Fushuriken to cut down the pillars in the bath room, falling on the soldiers as the trio made their escape.
The trio then slipped into a forest to plan their escape from the army, but they were instantly surrounded by four tanks charging in at full speed. Touji uses his Fujakshu to dig a tunnel into the ground and escape the forest but into the center of the Army's sight as they quickly fired down on the three. Aichou flies in and makes the save pulling the three out of harms way. With the three Ninku captains reunited, they began to retaliate with Touji using Fujaksho on a large pillar of rock to rain down on the army, stopping the assault. Fuusuke, Aichou, and Touji stood mountainside waiting for Hiroyuki and Rihoko to meet up with them, as Fuusuke wondered if they needed to go after Ajirada that would spring up an inpromptu argument between Touji and Aichou.
Being a Former Ninku Captain, Fuusuke is incredibly powerful Having aided the Ninku unit into temporarily subduing the Imperial Army before the disbandment. Even on his adventures to get stronger, Fuusuke is capable of easily taking down bandits, thugs, assassins and soldiers who possess Ninku techniques of their own. Even for his reputation, Fuusuke is often underestimated by his opponents either for his age or having no information of who he is.
At the end of the Anime, Fuusuke absorbs the power of the true Tenku Dragon after his battle with Kochin giving him extraordinary power beyond any one and making him the most powerful Ninku user in the world. In addition, while most Ninku users that require special training to see a Tenku Dragon, Fuusuke could already see and touch them without any form of training as shown in Second Stage.
Ninku[]
Fuusuke is the former captain of the 1st Ninku division, in which all users of that division primarily use air techniques. Fuusuke can use air at any time and even use opposing air to his advantage such as when he is struck with flames or to ride a current as shown when he, Hiroyuki and Rihoko were inside of a cannon. He can create whirlwinds, redirect wind currents and even use Funasen, a high-level and deadly Ninku technique with no noticeable injuries. As a Ninku captain, Fuusuke has shown to use all known rat ninja techniques to their maximum potential. His Kuatsuken is so powerful that in the manga it shattered Koshou's ribs and ruptured his organs from within, whereas in the anime, it has shattered through Lee's battle armor which is designed to fend off Ninku techniques. In the anime, his Fuatsho redirected a large bullet that not only looped around to miss Aichou, but missed the army base likely on purpose due to Fuusuke's pacifism. In addition to the manga, Fuusuke's Fushuriken has cut through metal shurikens themselves.
Strength[]
Throughout Ninku, Fuusuke has shown impressive feats of strength despite his very small stature. He has constantly overpowered foes that are many times his size in battle and can carry an incapacitated person like Sayaka miles albeit with strain. He has also shown to pull himself out of the ground with little to no effort after being buried from the waist down.
Speed[]
As a master of ninjutsu, Fuusuke's boastful abilities are his speed, agility and reflexes. He can move so fast that his movement mimics teleportation, dodge bullet fire and lightning and even create near lifelike afterimages of himself. Even when hit, Fuusuke has been shown to use his techniques to get out of harms way such as when Yuka's kidnapper shot him in the head, he was fast enough to use Fubunshin in the anime and a substitution technique in the manga.
Other media appearances[]
Crossovers[]
As Ninku has appeared in a few crossovers with other Shonen Jump media, Fuusuke appears more than any other character as the representation of the series. Fuusuke has appeared as a playable character in the Nintendo DS game Jump Ultimate Stars featuring Aichou and Touji in some of his Koma attacks. Fuusuke also appears in the Japanese mobile game Jumputi Heroes. His Main Rank is A, Support Rank being B and Global Rank also being A.
