Fudou

Fudou is a fictional character in the anime series of Shaman King.

Appearance
He has long red hair that he keeps in three ties, one on the back and two on the front and black eyes. He wears red and brown robes. His eyes turn more white when he's angry or in shock, like many of the other characters.

Personality
Fudou is very confident and self righteous, believign that what he does is good. He hates spirits, but rarely gets angry, the only example of this being when Hao kills his companions.

Abilities and Powers
Fudou has the ability to use a variety of spells and in combat, he creates a pair of red wings and a halo on his back. He also has the ability to use wind attacks with his sword and shoot dart like projectiles from his wings.

Past
Very little is known about Fudou's past. He was possessed many times by spirits, which lead to his hatred of them. (This was never said in the English translation of the anime series) Fudou then became a spirit hunter. He came to believe that shaman where actually possessed by the spirits they used.

Confronting Amidamaru
Fudou and his allies managed to find their way into Patch Village and began to seal spirits. The first shown sealing that they do is on the Lily Five, whom they interrogate for information on Asakura Yoh and Amidamaru. Fudou seeks to destroy Amidamaru since he escaped sealing the first time it happened. He then forces an enslaved Mosuke to possess Manta Oyamada in order to draw Yoh to him. Despite Fudou's constant attacks, Yoh protects Amidamaru. Fudou tries to force Manta to attack Yoh, but Manta and Mosuke break free of his control, thanks to Manta switching Mosuke's medium. Yoh then and his friends make Fudou release the spirits he captured.

Death
Asakura Hao later gives Fudou the option of joining his side. Fudou refused and Hang Zang-Ching and Mohamed Tabarsi attacked Fudou's allies. They attempted to seal their spirits, but it proved unsucessful and they where killed. Fudou attempts to attack Hao, but the Spirit of Fire blocks the attack and, after blasting Fudou with fire, devours him. In the English dub, Hao destroys Fudou in vengeance for sealing some of his follower's spirits.
