But a very young Yuria stood up to him, risking her life to save some puppies from Fudō's rampage. Fudō learned from her courage that life is the most important thing on earth. Fudō the Ogre became Fudoh of the Mountains, one of the five Nanto Goshasei; the guardians of Yuria. Once an orphan himself, Fudō also took care of orphaned children. After trembling in the presence of Kenshiro's Musō Tensei, Raoh decided to eliminate the first person who ever frightened him, and challenged Fudō to battle. Raoh ordered his own men to shoot him if he took a step back. Fudō was able to make him do so, but Raoh's men shot Fudō instead and killed him.

    == Appearance ==
    Fudou was a hulking, round, but very muscular man, even larger in complexion than Raoh himself with somewhat tanned skin, who usually dressed in white clothings with a belt strapped across his chest, a green sleeveless coat, a pair of dark green loose pants, and a pair of brown boots.
     
    His Battle Armor consisted of a set of spiked shoulder protectors tied across his uncovered chest with a pair of belts in a crossed formation that ended on his waist. Fudou's arms and legs were protected with a set of armor and spiked plates, with his right arm having more cover. Fudou used a head protector that covered his forehead and the middle of his upper head.
     
    == Personality ==
    Originally Fudou was a heartless brute, due to having grown without parental love, he developed very twisted, nihilistic ideas of life, and believed humans to be like vermin, having no respect for life in general, which allowed him to engage in acts of violence and ransacking without a shred of remorse. His cruelty and brutality along with his unmatched power, were so infamous that he was nicknamed the Ogre, with his name causing fear whenever he went.
     
    It wasn't until he met a young Yuria who shielded puppies from his rampage, that he begun to understand the value of life. Ever since, Fudou reformed into a gentle person who used his strength to protect both Yuria with the utmost loyalty, and become a loving guardian to several orphaned children, giving them the protection and love that he himself had not gotten. As a member of the Nanto Goshasei, the now reformed Ogre, was now a highly respected, dutiful man.
     
    Fudou was shown to be a fairly carefree person, almost always smiling and laughing, even at jokes thrown at his expense.
     
    == Fighting Style ==
    Fudou uses an unnamed fighting style which centers on the use of his titanic size and herculean strength to overwhelm his foes with unmatched power. His might was so great that when assaulting the Hokuto dojo he was easily capable of defeating the students with mere flicks of his fingers, and left a younger Raoh paralyzed with fear.
     
    In the present when Raoh attempted to test Fudou's strength by having a henchman attack him, Fudou competely obliterated the assailant's arm with a gentle press of his hand, and crushed his head purely through flexing his arm.
     
    During his fight with Raoh, Fudou displayed inhuman endurance, being on the receiving end of Raoh's brutal attacks, yet remain fighting, and even showed strength comparable to that of Raoh, by using his muscles to entrap Raoh's hands and injure Raoh through bearhugging him.
     
    Despite being at a disadvantage against Raoh, Fudou's love for his adopted children allowed him to instill fear in Raoh. In the end Raoh would be unable to truly defeat Fudou as his men interfered on the fight against his orders.
