Normally, he wears a violet kimono and a yellow foulard. When he fights, he wears a violet kimono with a white cloack and an armor on his shoulder. He equips two swords

Personality
Fubuki was once Muramasa's best friend. He was a kinder man before Muramasa left the Mibu Clan.

Fubuki is not interested in maintaining the mutual relationship between the Mibu and the humans.

He doesn't care about the many lives that will be lost once he starts a war between the two forces.

Fubuki is also the teacher of Shinrei. Shinrei was his beloved pupil. He wielded the powers of water and wood. He is a master of Mumyou Saikyou Ryuu, just like his student Shinrei. Fubuki is far more powerful than Shinrei.

Fubuki is also Muramasa's brother-in-law from his marriage to Hitoki, Muramasa's sister. Despite her ill health, Hitoki bore Fubuki a daughter, Tokito, though Tokito plays off as Muramasa's son.

Story
Fubuki is first seen watching Demon Eyes Kyo and his allies after Kyo defeats Chinmei. He proceeds to find Chinmei and heals him as well as revive a dead cat that was nearby.

He kills Taihaku who was defeated by Benitora (Red Tiger)  because Taihaku wanted to follow Kyo's group to confront the Sendai Aka no Ou. When Kyo and his party arrived at Fubuki's lair, they were confused as neither he nor Hishigi were there. As it turns out they both were there and Kyo and his party noted the fact after Hotaru almost got killed by Hishigi.



Fubuki welcomes all of them and tells them they will all die. Shinrei confronts Fubuki and fights with his former teacher. Even though Shinrei had his inner potential released and gained a strength boost by his brother, Hotaru, Fubuki still proceeded to defeat Shinrei. Fubuki explains to Kyo's allies the true nature of the Red Eyes and the truth of the Mibu Constructs. Fubuki and Hishigi fight Kyo who has woken up from his meeting with the First Crimson King. He begins to ovewhelm them with his newly gained power speak to his (from learning to speak to his sword). Kyo then uses Suzaku on Fubuki and Hishigi but neither of them are hurt. They both then attack him simultaneosly but instead of killing Demon Eyes Kyo they awaken his True Red Eyes. Both of them are injured for the first time by Kyo. After awakening his True Red Eyes, Kyo then defeats the two Taishirou members.

Death
Fubuki is killed by the Former Crimson King (Sendai Aka no Ou) Sendai Aka no Ou] after protecting Tokito from his arrow of light. Fubuki takes the blow and crumbles to dust.

Afterwards, the spirits of Fubuki, Hishigi and Muramasa gather to wake up Julian, Shinrei, Tokito, Hotaru and Yuan (who were "turned off" by the FCK]).

Trivia

 * Fubuki and Hishigi carry swords made by Julian (not surprisingly, he's Muramasa's master and Mibu's blacksmith), because a master swordsman has so much power that a lesser sword just can't take it
 * Fubuki's Necromancy resembles to Naruto's Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation (Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru and Tobirama Senju)
 * Fubuki bears a striking reassemblance of Amidamaru from Shaman King (first in appearance, secondly they are both samurai able to use two swords in fighting and moreover are more than 500 years old)
