"A man who knows no sadness....will never know victory"

- Fudou

Fudou of the Mountains (山のフドウ, Yama no Fudō)

A giant Nanto Goshasei fighter, Fudou was once feared as a terrible outlaw called "Fudou the Ogre" (悪鬼のフドウ, Akki no Fudō) who saw no meaning in life because he was an orphan. In the past, he once attacked the Hokuto dojo, where he terrified a young Raoh. Sometime afterwards, his heart was opened by the child Yuria, who defended a group of puppies from Fudou's rampage and taught him the value of life. From this act of courage, Fudou was born again and became known as 'Fudou of the Mountains', one of the five Nanto Goshasei and guardian of the Last Nanto General. Since Fudou never knew his own parents, he began adopting the young orphans from across the wasteland.

After trembling before Kenshiro's Musō Tensei, Raoh decided to overcome the demon from his past and challenged Fudou to battle. Raoh ordered his own men to shoot him if he took one step back. Fudou endured an onslaught from Raoh, driven by the love of his children. This profound love and sadness caused Raoh to recoil in fear, but his men fired at Fudou instead and killed him, much to Raoh's fury and shame.
