Kotaro Fūma is a character from the Sengoku BASARA series of action games.
Profile[]
The legendary shinobi who once served the Hōjō family, Kotaro is a mysterious being who simply keeps on fighting according to the orders of his employer, without speaking a single word or displaying his intentions. In Sengoku BASARA 4, he's been hired for 'a certain reason' that Matsunaga Hisahide has in mind, fighting all over the land of Hinomoto as ordered.
In battle, Kotaro's quick, ninja-like movements toy with his enemies as he releases a continuous flurry of attacks. No one has ever seen his face completely unmasked, but his fiery red hair is difficult to forget. His element is wind.
Tsuruhime is oddly infatuated with him.
