Fukuyokana
CharacterA money-obsessed bandit who worked the roads alongside his brother, scheming to snatch the coins scattered by Kunihisa. His greed unraveled when Naruto Uzumaki intervened and the cliff they cornered their target on gave way beneath them.
Appearance
Short and thickset, he gathered his light-brown hair into a divided ponytail and grew a small tuft of beard on his chin. His eyes were tiny and dark, his lips thin, and for clothing he layered a green shirt under a brown vest.
Personality
Money ruled his thinking as it did his brother's. He was convinced that enough of it would be all they needed to overcome anyone who stood against them.

History
During the Daimyo Heir Escort Mission, Fukuyokana and his partner Shinayakana baited Kunihisa with roasted fish, only for Naruto Uzumaki to swat their plan aside. The pair resurfaced downriver where a fortune in the coins Kunihisa had flung about lay waiting, and they used it to buy off his remaining bodyguards, who then seized him. Naruto reappeared, freed Kunihisa with ease, and led him away.
The bandits caught up at a cliff's edge. Naruto slung a rope to the far side, handed it to Kunihisa, and shoved him over just as the pursuers threw themselves onto him. Fukuyokana called out to his older brother, who was clinging to Kunihisa before dropping away. The combined weight of everyone crowded on the ledge cracked it, and Fukuyokana tumbled into the dark along with the former guards. Nothing further of his fate is recorded.
