Ōchi Fukuchi

Ōchi Fukuchi (福地 桜痴,) is the commander of the Hunting Dogs special units and has the ability Mirror Lion. However, in reality, he is the leader of the terrorist organization, the Decay of Angels, acting under the alias of Kamui (神威,).

Appearance
Fukuchi is a tall, middle aged man donning a dark-colored military uniform, complete with a sword and tall black boots. He has a light, spiky hair with some strands falling in front of his face, along with an upwards mustache. On his right cheek are three distinct healed scars that almost resemble claw marks.

Personality
On the surface, Fukuchi has presented with an eccentric and boastful personality. He took great pride in the Hunting Dog unit's skills and reputation and seemed to enjoy the thought of "hunting down" criminals. He also showed a somewhat vulgar and shameless side to himself including doing disgusting things including farting, vomiting from drinking too much liquor, and stating he was still youthful by remarking his skin was still peachy on his behind. Despite this, he also showed examples of being a charismatic leader who was able to heavily influence people of all kinds.

His true personality as Kamui, however, has proven to be darker and more serious than the personality he had been faking as the commander of the Hunting Dogs. As Kamui, Fukuchi still retains some of his laid back personality, however, he expresses bitterness in getting older admitting his drinking was a form of relieving his stress and he loathes that his hair is getting thinner. He also expresses relief that he will no longer have to fake such a tiring personality after the final step of the plan commences. In this personality, Fukuchi also acts more like a ruthless soldier as he challenged Atsushi Nakajima in combat with the full intention of eliminating him, though he still retains some form of honorable code as he also allowed him a fair chance between "fighting or dying" in order to grab the Page from his clutches.

Ability
Fukuchi's ability, Mirror Lion (鏡獅子,) allows him to strengthen any weapon he holds by a 100 fold. He demonstrated this when he cut off Atsushi's leg with his augmented sword with tremendous speed and power.

Skills

 * Espionage: Fukuchi is a tremendously skilled actor and is able to fake a personality to the point, someone, with high observation skills as Ranpo Edogawa is unable to tell he is lying or hiding an ulterior motive without fully using his Super Deduction technique. Although his skills are impressive, Fukuchi has admitted he has become rusty and chalks it up to his age. Back in his army days, he was known as the "Man of 100 Faces" (百面相の男,) due to his legendary skills in infiltration and espionage.

Background
Fukuchi has known Yukichi Fukuzawa since their youth, and they both learned the way of the sword from the same government-run school of martial arts. They also had a mutual female acquaintance named Kin during this time. They seemed to have had a friendly yet harmless rivalry over the years and were each other's best friend for quite some time.

However, 14 years ago, Fukuchi enlisted in the Japanese army to fight in the Great War where he experienced horrendous traumatic events, including engaging in brutal combat with the enemy lines and torturing and killing soldiers, civilians, women, and children in gruesome ways under the government's command. These experiences led Fukuchi to believe he was "born on the battlefield" and held a grudge against the nation and the government for creating the hell that was war. He also held resentment for Fukuzawa for not joining him on the battlefield and experiencing the horrific events he did and stated it was the reason he and Fukuzawa split paths forever.

Despite these facts, 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 Agency doorplate which Ranpo saw and was disgusted by. 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, while Fukuzawa was completely oblivious to his friend's hatred and bitterness towards him.

Sometime later, Fukuchi became the commander of the Hunting Dogs and a world-renowned hero for completing difficult and high-risk missions including defeating werewolves created by an Abilities experiment, saving refugees, fighting an undead ability user nonstop for several days and nights, and taking down vampire armies. At an unknown point in time, he became Kamui, the leader of the Decay of Angels.

Decay of Angels Arc
Fukuchi arrives with his fellow Hunting Dogs as reinforcements to capture the Armed Detective Agency, who have been identified to be the Decay of Angels. After their arrival and later being recognized by the military police as the legendary Hunting Dogs, Fukuchi discusses their methods to track down the Agency. Since the Agency are adept with tracking down criminals, Fukuchi knows that they shall use that knowledge to their advantage in outwitting the Hunting Dogs.

Faced with a dilemma of whether to take the northern or the southern paths, the Hunting Dogs split into two teams: Fukuchi and his vice commander Teruko Okura are assigned to the northern station, while Saigiku Jōno and Tetchō Suehiro are to take the southern road in an attempt to catch the Agency. Sometime during their operation, Fukuchi and his fellow Hunting Dogs are requested for dispatch having found the Agency, with Michizō Tachihara rejoining them as the undercover fifth Hunting Dog and cornering Yosano that leads to her arrest.

Later, Fukuchi pays a visit to Fukuzawa, who is under interrogation. Having some liquor, the two childhood friends joyfully chat about their respective lives and responsibilities. Fukuchi then sternly asks for Fukuzawa's confession in exchange for bringing a halt to the hunt for the Agency members. The President kindly refuses, and Fukuchi suddenly waves his blade only to stop an inch from cutting Fukuzawa's manacles. Indeed, Fukuzawa planned to free himself this way before taking Fukuchi's sword. The commander of the Hunting Dogs then praises his swordsmanship, wondering if someone who's able to draw a sword at the speed of sound like Fukuzawa is human.

When Fukuchi tries to bargain over information about Doppo Kunikida's whereabouts, Fukuzawa declines the deal once again: he deeply believes that Kunikida is still alive; otherwise he would have felt it. Fukuzawa also has absolute faith in every one of his subordinates, while Fukuchi mutually believes in his very own subordinates.

After the interrogation, Fukuchi is asked to become the leader of the anti-terrorism force meant for the entire world, but he is too hungover to properly listen.
