Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu

"'I SAID NAH'""— Fuyuhiko, after being asked to stop hitting the woah"""Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu is a character in the Kyokoverse. His title was formerly of the Ultimate Yakuza.

He is best friends with Akane Owari and is currently in a romantic relationship with Kiyotaka Ishimaru.

Appearance
Fuyuhiko's appearance doesn't deter from canon that much, with the only different design element being that he now has multiple black piercings on both his ears. He retains the exact same design, except that his signature blazer is a bit more tattered, as it's pretty much the only thing he wears in Chipwrecked.

After the Swag Ass Roblox Rock Incident, he spends a bit of time wearing a blue hospital gown and has bandages over his right eye. Post-recovery, he goes back to his standard set of clothes, and now wears the dragon eyepatch, initially kept on him as a prop, but now seeing real use.

He also bears a collection of scars: a bullet wound on his right shoulder, acquired on the day his sister Natsumi died; a large stomach scar, from his run-in with the Void during Akane's Birthday, where he got impaled; twin scars on his chest area, from top surgery; and two scars on his thighs, from one of the Servant's attacks during the final stretch of Camp Wiyog. As of the beginning of New Kork City, those have led him to use a wheelchair to move around.

Personality
Like in canon, Fuyuhiko starts out extremely brash, short-fused, and aggressive towards most anyone, constantly resorting to yelling and insulting others. His deep bonds with Taka and Akane, however, make him soften a bit, and show that he is actually a sensitive, caring man. Despite the menacing aura that comes with the Ultimate Yakuza title, he doesn't want to be perceived as intimidating by his close friends.

He does not like being treated as a child, and goes out of his way to avoid behavior he considers to contribute in making him be seen as such. This includes being ashamed of eating sweets in front of others, no matter how close to him they are; and angrily denying to most people the right to call him by the nickname of "Fuyu".

He is very perceptive, seeing through Taka's attempt to hide from him the fact that the former wasn't eating. However, despite this friendly side to him, he is still relentless towards his enemies. Mocking his sister's death or putting Taka and/or Akane in harm's way is a surefire way to send him into a blind rage.

Same as in canon, Fuyuhiko has a bit of an inferiority complex, often thinking of himself as not fit to lead the Kuzuryu clan due to his inherently "soft-hearted" nature. In the Kyokoverse, this directly ties in with his family history, as he endured physical and emotional abuse, mostly from his father, due to being considered too "squishy". It's part of the reason why he hides his emotions under an aggressive front, seeking to be seen as tough.

The aspect of Fuyuhiko's personality that most notably deters from canon is his speech patterns. While he's mostly polite in canon, save the constant insults, in Kyokoverse he talks more like a tough guy would. He refers to most people in the cast by a last-name basis, exceptions made to Peko, Natsumi, Yokutaro, Twonaka, Kiyotaka ("Kiyo"), and Kaito ("Starboy").

The main running gag about his character is that he is constantly doing different meme dances. Those include, but are not restricted to, hitting the woah, dabbing, doing the worm, doing the goopie dance, and, most notably, geccing. Fuyuhiko geccing led to a butterfly effect that eventually reset the universe, and also allowed him to smite a god. He is also prone to getting bonked with deep fryers, getting so mad his heart gives out, and walking aimlessly until he gets stuck on top of buildings.

History
Fuyuhiko's backstory is mostly canon compliant, but the event that was changed the most was his sister Natsumi's death. In the Kyokoverse, she died protecting him from an assassination attempt while they were walking home from school, jumping in front of him as the attacker, Sato, attempted to shoot Fuyuhiko multiple times.

As seen in The Rise and Fall of the Frog Division, this event is still very traumatizing to Fuyuhiko. In a conversation he had with Akane during this arc, he says that "when Natsumi died, [he] kept trying to find ways to blame [himself]". Another Episode: Kuzuryu showed that this guilt never really faded away, as the whole premise of this spin-off of sorts is a nightmare Fuyuhiko has about the event.

As mentioned above, Fuyuhiko's family history was also altered to some degree, to include the information that his father was an abusive man who would beat his child if the latter cried over losing fights at school, among possibly other reasons, and constantly spout emotional abuse.

I, Hiero, am only gonna put his backstory here, because the rest is in the docs, and I'm lazy as hell.

Also he's been disowned from the Kuzuryu clan. That was a thing that happened.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru
The two of them are in a romantic relationship, despite it having taken a long time for them to finally make it official. They first fell in love during the Wallet Arc, after mysteriously turning into wigs, and confessing their love for each other while in this form. Their relationship carried over to the new timeline in Chipwrecked, where Taka took such close care of Fuyuhiko during the Swag Ass Roblox Rock Incident that he ended up neglecting his own health. This directly led to the Epic Rap Battles Of History. We do not speak of this event.

Fuyuhiko is noticeably softer towards Taka than he is to most people, having gone so far as to call him "his beloved Kiyotaka", and often seeking his lover's affection. He gets flustered very easily in Taka's presence. The two of them are often seen calling each other by the affectionate pet names of "Hiko" and "Kiyo", and, from time to time, Fuyuhiko even allows himself to refer to Kiyotaka by "dear".

Taka has also helped Fuyuhiko open up. During Therapy Jail in Camp Wiyog, the two of them had a long, heartfelt conversation about their past traumas, and have since worked towards improving themselves - if not for their own well-being, for each other. Fuyuhiko's tough persona mellows out when he's with Taka, and he mostly allows himself to be more vulnerable.

During Roadchip, Fuyuhiko ended up proposing to Taka, who gladly accepted. They are to marry in the near future. In New Kork City, the loving couple adopted a cat by the name of Moss, who they cherish as their own son. Moss is a entity above all.

Akane Owari
Both Fuyuhiko and Akane consider each other their best friends - despite this, while she calls him "Fuyu" (and is one of the only people allowed to do so), he calls her "Owari". Ever since Akane's debut under Kiwi in Chipwrecked, they frequently share the spotlight. After the Swag Ass Roblox Rock Incident, they were brought even closer together, despite Akane's fears that Fuyuhiko would want distance from her. He considers that he can break down if it's near her, and trusts her with his secrets. She, in return, is always keeping a watchful eye on him.

The two of them are part of The Council, alongside Sonia Nevermind and Kazuichi Souda.

Chihiro Tanaka
Fuyuhiko considers Chihiro a good friend and has great respect for her, mostly due to her role as retainer of the Frog Division. As of Camp Wiyog, she has agreed to being his underling, and thus calls him "big bro" sometimes.

He was the one who first found her when she was caught in the Void, and, despite his own injuries, took her into his arms and tried to gec her into well-being until his voice eventually faded.

Kaito Momota
In the last leg of the Chipwrecked arc, Fuyuhiko and Kaito formed a bond due to both of them being disabled - the former lost his eye in an accident, while the latter has what he calls the "space disease" and is constantly coughing blood. Kaito wanted to overexert both of them to see if it'd heal their conditions, but Fuyuhiko was strongly against it and ended up persuading Kaito not to do it. After this, they had a drink together. Fuyuhiko also calls Kaito by the affectionate nickname "Starboy".

After their friendship started to properly blossom, Kaito has been of great help to Fuyuhiko. During Akane's Birthday, as Fuyuhiko battled the Void, Kaito provided support with his geccing, alongside his sidekick Shuichi Saihara, and was important to seal it away; and during Hotel Mario, he provided emotional support and advice to Fuyuhiko, who was startled by the sound of fireworks and flashbacking to his sister's death.

Kaito was supposed to be the best man in Fuyuhiko and Taka's wedding, but the former's admin left the server :(

Peko Pekoyama
Their relationship is pretty much exactly the same as in canon: they are very close, but Peko thinks of herself as a tool for Fuyuhiko, over being her own person. Fuyuhiko opposes this, saying outright that he thinks of her as an esteemed friend, and that he never liked the "tool" mindset instilled by the Kuzuryu clan into her. Peko, alongside Taka and Akane, is among the few people who can make Fuyuhiko blush, especially by smiling at him, something he seeks to make her do over and over.

Natsumi Kuzuryu
The guilt Fuyuhiko feels about Natsumi's death still weighs on him, and he sometimes wishes he had died in her place. He loved his little sister deeply, as she loved him, but thinks he wasn't able to convey that feeling to her properly. The fact that Natsumi took a backseat to him as the heir of the Kuzuryu clan and as an attendee of the Main Course in Hope's Peak Academy deeply saddened Fuyuhiko, who earnestly thought she deserved the claim to inheritance and the Ultimate Yakuza title more than he did, despite him being the eldest child.

After Kaito told Fuyuhiko that Natsumi is watching her big brother from the stars, he took a liking to stargazing. Kaito's words turned out to be true, as Natsumi's soul resides now in the brightest star of the night sky, always looking after Fuyuhiko.

In Camp Wiyog, it was revealed that Fuyuhiko occasionally called Natsumi by the affectionate nickname of "Nat".

Missy Kuzuryu
Missy is Fuyuhiko's fellow leader, with him leading the main division of the Kuzuryu clan, and her being in charge of the Frog Division. He is very kind towards her, as he is to most animals. Whenever the Frog Division is badmouthed, Missy takes full control of Fuyuhiko's body, referring to him as "the vessel" and launching relentless attacks against the offender(s).

The clan has divisions among all of the animal kingdom, such as the Low Poly Chicken Division, and the leaders can take over Fuyuhiko's body to defend themselves if they are badmouthed and too small to attack humans.

Rantaro Amami
Fuyuhiko is immensely bitter towards his cousin Rantaro (formerly known as Yokutaro Kuzuryu), and with good reason: he was the one who sent a hitman to kill Fuyuhiko, in an attempt to obtain power inside the Kuzuryu clan, but that hitman ended up killing his younger sister, Natsumi. After a violent trial, the clan deemed death wasn't enough for him, and doomed him to work forever in customer service as atonement for his crimes.

The ex-Ultimate Yakuza loathes not being able to get violent against Rantaro, because the latter made a contract with the Button Presser for her to be his bodyguard for a while, and, were Fuyuhiko to make a move against his cousin, it would end in tragedy for the former. According to her, though, the contract has already expired.

Hajime Hinata
Hajime is Fuyuhiko's ex-boyfriend. The terms of their breakup are yet to be established, but it is implied that it was due to Fuyuhiko's constant anger outbursts and a pronounced refusal to be upfront with Hajime. Despite this, they are generally on good terms, still calling each other by affectionate nicknames ("Fuyu" and "Haji") and showing great worry for one another.

Nagito Komaeda
Nagito and Fuyuhiko aren't especially close, but a bond of mutual respect was formed after the Epic Rap Battles Of History, where Nagito successfully convinced Taka to feed himself at Fuyuhiko's request. This has proven troublesome for Fuyuhiko, as he's constantly getting mad at Nagito's son, but ends up having to hold himself back from beating the child up out of feeling indebted to the father.

It has been shown that Fuyuhiko has mostly softened up to Nagito, and even absorbed some of his ideology, though still calling him "hope bastard".

Gundham Tanaka (Onedam)
During the Wallet Arc, Onedam stole Fuyuhiko's wallet on a whim, which is the incident that named this arc. Ever since this, they are declared enemies, even after the timeline reset, but haven't interacted much besides this.

Fuyuhiko is still distrustful of Cooldam, despite them having different personalities. Though, this has been mended to some extent, as Cooldam apologized for Onedam's actions, and gifted Fuyuhiko sweets and other items on the latter's birthday.

Gundham Tanaka (Twonaka)
Despite not liking Onedam, Fuyuhiko is fond of Twonaka. During TFD, the former gecced nonstop for Twonaka's wounds to heal, to the point of collapsing from exhaustion. After coming to his senses and seeing Twonaka dead, he desperately cried for his friend, alongside Akane.

After Twonaka was resurrected by Ouma Wig, Fuyuhiko snapped at him for apparently faking his death, and then for the low view Twonaka had of himself. Later, he confessed to Taka that he sees Twonaka as a good friend, and doesn't want him to think of himself as a bad person.

During Undertale, Ohio, Fuyuhiko allowed himself to break down in Twonaka's arms, and they both started referring to each other by their first names.

Noodle
Fuyuhiko was the one to name Twonaka's pet snake, Noodle, and she took a liking to him, so much so that he considers her his own pet snake. During Family Matters, Lesbianism, and Swag Ass Trauma, Noodle comforted Fuyuhiko during his PTSD episode.

Lowgami
Fuyuhiko is extremely antagonistic towards Lowgami, often calling him a "piece of shit stoner". Despite this, he has been comforted by Lowgami during an intervention from the Button Presser, where she made his bad eye act up while he was rising for the Goopie Anthem. After the episode, Fuyuhiko just returned to beating Lowgami up.

After Akane's birthday dinner at Le, Fuyuhiko murdered Lowgami by beating him up with a comically large spoon. The event didn't seem to affect anyone's opinion on the former.

The Button Presser
Ze is the responsible for every time Fuyuhiko's bad eye flares up out of the blue, mostly doing it just for fun. Because of this, the two of them are enemies, despite zir true identity being Hiero, the person who plays Fuyuhiko in the first place. However, ze helps him when ze feels like it, awaking him from his Council-induced sleepytimes, with no repercussions for his body, when ze wants to (and can) play him, and avoiding miscommunications between him and Taka on occasion. Ze also got rid of Lowgami's body for Fuyuhiko, and banned Rantaro to the shadow realm for Fuyuhiko's birthday as a gift. Another one of zir blessings in disguise was to remove him from the Kuzuryu clan, which caused him great distress, but followed by the relief of being now able to live life as he wishes.

Over time, their relationship improved, but Fuyuhiko still dislikes zir and often calls zir a bitch.

Trivia

 * He had a Minecraft wolf named Snuggles who died.
 * He owns an all-black Nintendo Switch with a dragon decal on the back, the same pattern as his eyepatch.
 * Known titles he owns are Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Pokémon Café Mix, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics; admin also owns all of these games except Mario Kart, so it's pure projection.
 * His RPer, Hiero, originally played Akane Owari, but decided to switch over to Fuyuhiko so she could curse more freely.
 * Fuyuhiko's weak spots are the words "swag ass" (reminds him of trauma), the Button Presser (ze has total control over him, being his admin), and the Goopie Anthem (because when it plays he has to rise up for it).
 * He's afraid of fireworks, because they remind him of gunshots. This makes him ashamed, as he figures he should've been used to the sound by now.
 * He's also afraid of thunder, mostly because of the loud noise, and often gets frustrated during thunderstorms.
 * He is immune to becoming a money machine, despite his constant geccing. This is partly because Hiero lacks the tools to edit him into a money machine.
 * As of Hotel Mario, Fuyuhiko is canonically bisexual, and, as of Le, transgender.
 * As stated by mun, the only reason why Kyokoverse Fuyuhiko wears his eyepatch is because he figures the sight of his scar would make Akane feel guilty.
 * Due to his partial blindness, his phone has been stated to be set to have dark mode, zero brightness, and a blue light filter.
 * He can converse freely with animals, as long as they are part of a division within the Kuzuryu clan.
