Kyohō Fuefuki

is a shinobi from Kirigakure.

Background
When he was younger, Kyohō was a victim of the Funato clan's pillaging, who had burned down his village. The bloodshed had left a lasting impact on Kyohō that had not only physically scarred him, but mentally as well.

Personality
Due to his traumatic past, Kyohō is a very withdrawn man with deadpan demeanour to himself, rarely speaking more than a few words, always in a stunted manner. Those events also made him very sensitive to the sight of blood, causing him to go in a rage, attacking friend and foe alike. Even after coming to, Kyohō remains noticeably shaken, requiring hours of rest. Like his allies, Kyohō has a great hatred for the peaceful era of the Sixth Mizukage, viewing it as an insult to their heritage as they calmly allow tourists to visit the village. Joining Shizuma Hoshigaki, he sought to restore the "Bloody Mist" era and usurp Chōjūrō. At the same time, as noted by his team-mates, Kyohō is a rather honourable man, unwilling to kill an innocent bystander without good reason.

Following his time in prison, Kyohō seems to have regretted his actions against Kirigakure, having chosen not to join Shizuma in his escape. Likewise, once getting past his anger, he is shown to be a very friendly person, willing to forgive others for their mistakes, apologising for his own, and also very loyal to his team-mates, protecting them with his own body. He become comfortable enough to show his scars to people he trusts.

Appearance
Kyohō is an abnormally tall man with a wide, muscular frame. Like the rest of his team-mates, he has jagged teeth. His head is covered by a white hood, with openings for his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, which he wears to conceal scars from a Funato clan attack when he was younger. He wears a red, sleeveless, pinstriped shirt with a dark red cord belt around his waist, wrist wraps and leggings in the same style, and baggy grey shorts. He wears his forehead protector on a cord around his neck like a necklace. After Shizuma's declaration of war, he dons a sleeveless black jinbaori war coat with tan lining and grey hemming, worn as a surcoat in the traditional style.

Abilities
Kyohō has tremendous raw strength, able to squeeze two shadow clones into dispersing with a single hand each. He is also proficient in kenjutsu, able to quickly adjust to using Kabutowari. A single strike of his with Kabutowari was able to shake Funato clan's entire mobile, sea-based fortress. He is able to fight on par with Tenma Funato, one of the clan's strongest members.

School Trip Arc
When Shizuma approaches Kagura Karatachi, Kyohō and his comrades accompany him, where he is able to temporarily stop Boruto Uzumaki from attacking his leader, defeating three of his shadow clones. Once Kagura agrees to join their team on the condition that they spare Boruto, he leads the swordsmen into the shinobi swords' vault. After acquiring the blades, with Kyohō taking the Kabutowari, Shizuma voiced more of his plans, noting that he had allies within the ranks of the Water Daimyō who agree with Shizuma's goal of restoring the "Bloody Mist" era. He also intended to place Kagura as the new Mizukage, continuing the vicious reign of the Fourth Mizukage.

Their first act of revolution was to destroy the Kirigakure Memorial Stone. Before they could destroy it, they were confronted by Boruto and Sarada, along with Chōjūrō. Shizuma was glad at this development and cut off the area with his Crimson Mist Barrier Technique to begin the battle. Hebiichigo manages to restrain the Sixth Mizukage with her blade's strings. From this, Kyohō and his allies voiced their utter disdain for Chōjūrō for "robbing" them of their pride as ninja. He and two of his allies then strike at their subdued foe.

Chōjūrō anticipated their attack patterns and used it to broke free. While the revolutionaries scoffed at Chōjūrō facing them with only a standard katana, Chōjūrō retorted that a weapon is only as powerful as its wielder. Proving his point, he continues to exploit the revolutionaries' key weakness. After Chōjūrō defeats the others, Kyohō admits defeat while apologising. He was then detained by the Mizukage. After the group was defeated and rounded up, the event was covered by the Mizukage while Kyohō and his team, minus Kagura, were sent to prison for rehabilitation.

Great Sea Battle of Kirigakure Arc
Sometime later, Kyohō, along with Buntan Kurosuki and Hebiichigo, were moved to a new state-of-the-art prison. They did not take part in Shizuma's escape, leaving their 10 years sentence unchanged.

After the Funato Clan broke out their leader from prison and took over all neighbouring islands, Kagura recruited them three to deal with the situation, even allowing them access to the blades they wielded, though they were branded with cursed seals. Still holding a grudge against Team 7, Kyohō smashed the ground with Kabutowari, claiming to level out a stone. Upon arriving at Dotō Island to help the Konoha Team 5, Kagura decided that only Sarada and Mitsuki would go ahead to spy on the situation. The rest were later approached by a massive structure. Realising it was a fortress ship, Kagura instructed Boruto, Buntan, and Kawaki to investigate the rest remained behind to rendezvous with Mitsuki and Sarada.

After receiving updates from Sarada and Boruto, Kagura took Kyohō and Hebiichigo to the fortress, to aid in destroying its Chakra Cannon. They joined up with Boruto's group, but were attacked by Tenma Funato before deciding how to destroy the cannon. Hebiichigo was injured, and the sight of her blood sent Kyohō in a rage, attacking Tenma. His attack gave Boruto an idea how to deal with the cannon, but in his rage he also attacked Boruto and Kawaki. Kagura knocked Kyohō out, taking up the fight against Tenma with Kawaki. Hebiichigo looked after him. After Boruto used the cannon to destroy the fortress, they escaped on a lifeboat, and were rescued by Sarada's group. The swordsmen celebrated a reduced sentence over their mission's success, their presence surprising Team 5. They all headed back to Kirigakure.

The following morning, after a deep sleep, Kyohō woke up to find Kabutowari bloodstained. Learning that Taiki had been murdered, he panicked and tried to clean it. He was discovered by the other shinobi, and insisted he wasn't responsible. While his team-mates believed him, Iwabee and Boruto kept watch, while everyone else searched the ship for the real culprit. One of the Dotō Islanders claimed to have seen Kyohō going to the captain quarters at night, and asked Kyohō to unmask, wishing to check for Funato clan face marks. Kyohō became distressed and fled, eventually fighting Iwabee. Kawaki caught up to them, and revealed his plan to fake Kyohō's death to lure out the real culprit. The trap worked, with a Funato clansmen that had been hiding inside a refugee's body trying to take over Kyohō. They chased him to the engine room, where he sacrificed himself to damage the engine. Kyohō protected Hebiichigo from the explosion with his body. Later, Iwabee apologised for suspecting Kyohō, who in turn apologised for taking so long to explain himself, revealing he wore his mask to conceal scars.
