Ōchi Fukuchi

Ōchi Fukuchi (福地 桜痴,) is the commander of the Hunting Dogs special units and has the ability The Lion Dance.

Appearance
Fukuchi is a tall, 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.

Personality
Fukuchi has an eccentric, boastful personality. He takes great pride in the Hunting Dogs unit's skill and reputation.

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,).

Decay of Angels Arc
Fukuchi first appears after coming as reinforcements to capture the Armed Detective Agency. After their arrival, Fukuchi discusses their methods to track the agency. Ochi and Teruko are assigned to the Northern Station.

Ōchi Fukuchi, commander of the Hunting Dogs, pays a visit to Fukuzawa while the President in custody under Fukuchi's unit's supervision. The two men are childhood friends and Fukuchi brings sake to drink with Fukuzawa while joyfully chatting 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 the President's swordsmanship, wondering if someone who's able to draw a sword at the speed of sound like Fukuzawa is really human.

When Fukuchi tries to bargain over information about 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 and tells Fukuchi that as long one member remains, the Agency will never give up and is bound to win.

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.
