Fukurokuju

Fukurokuju is the captain of the Orochi Oniwabanshu who serve the shogun of Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi.

Appearance
Fukurokuju is a tall man with an elongated bald head. He has a very long and pointed dark beard, and his earlobes are extremely long. He wears a dark kimono with a pattern of circles with three dots in them, as well the Japanese character nin (忍) on his abdomen.

Twenty years ago, his head and earlobes were shorter and he did not have a beard. His kimono had a simpler design with the kanji ban (番) on each side.

Personality
Fukurokuju is duplicitous and not above changing sides, as he once did in the past when he betrayed the Kozuki Family to serve under Kurozumi Orochi. He has shown to be sadistic as he eagerly awaited Oden's death in his painful execution, and mocked Shinobu for putting her hopes on Oden.

His current loyalty is to Orochi, which he demonstrates by his dutiful actions of serving his master to the full extent of his powers. However, he was patient enough to give Nico Robin one chance to explain herself when she was caught snooping around Orochi Castle.

Abilities and Powers
As captain of the Orochi Oniwabanshu, Fukurokuju has full control over the group. Fukurokuju is also noted to be an extremely skilled master of ninjutsu by Shinobu, a veteran kunoichi. He is stated to be Raizo's biggest rival as a ninja.

Weapons
Fukurokuju was shown carrying a sword 20 years ago.

Past
Twenty years ago, Fukurokuju and yakuza leader Hyogoro were allied with the Kozuki Family, but when the Beasts Pirates invaded Wano Country and Kurozumi Orochi took over the country, Fukurokuju betrayed the Kozuki Family and pledged to serve Orochi. His subordinate at the time, Shinobu, was disgusted with this and left the Oniwabanshu.

Fukurokuju later accompanied Orochi to Kuri. He was also present in the Flower Capital to witness Oden's execution. After Shinobu revealed to the public what Oden did for the citizens during the past five years, Fukurokuju confronted her for her actions. However, she managed to flee as Oden met his end.

Wano Country Arc
The Orochi Oniwabanshu caught Nico Robin snooping in a secret room in Orochi Castle, and Fukurokuju came into the room and gave her one chance to explain herself. After Robin claimed to be Ushimitsu Kozo, Fukurokuju ordered his ninjas to capture her. However, the Robin they attacked was a duplicate created by her Devil Fruit powers. Fukurokuju then ordered his squad to find her.

As supporters of the Kozuki Family were detained in the Rasetsu District Prison, Fukurokuju told the prisoners to remain silent after telling them that their plan failed. He later went to the palace to report to Orochi about the capture of Shimotsuki Yasuie.

After the Straw Hats began causing chaos at Rasetsu Town following Yasuie's execution, the Orochi Oniwabanshu entered the battle. Fukurokuju recognized Zoro from a wanted poster and ordered his group to capture at least one of the Straw Hats.

Later, Fukurokuju informed Orochi the Straw Hats' escape and the capture of Trafalgar Law. Fukurokuju also informed the shogun that the Flower Captial was on lockdown with the Orochi Oniwabanshu and the Mimawarigumi on guard. He reassured that he would not let anything harm Orochi until they captured their enemies.

On the day of the Fire Festival, Fukurokuju accompanied Orochi to Onigashima.
