Background
Fukuchi has known Fukuzawa since they were young and are childhood friends who learned swordsmanship together. It is implied Fukuzawa had always been one step ahead of him in life, which fueled their friendly rivalry and friendship over the years. They also seem to have a mutual friend named "Kin-chan" who Fukuchi said would be sad to hear that Fukuzawa had not yet married.

Before he had become the Commander of the Hunting Dogs and a world renowned hero, 12 years ago, he was invited to the opening of the Armed Detective Agency where he drunk himself silly, caused a ruckus, and urinated all over the newly made Detective Agency doorplate which Ranpo saw and was disgusted by his behaviors. Fukuchi still considers his actions of that day to be an embarrassment to this day. Despite the shameful actions, Fukuzawa interpreted them to be a sign of grief and wailing that he had found his life's purpose one step ahead of him and that he was lonely because of that fact.

It was on this day that Fukuzawa told Ranpo that he trusted Fukuchi more than anyone in the world, which reinforced Ranpo's trust in him based solely on blind faith alone.

Ability
The Lion Dance (鏡獅子,).
