Izumo, Fuuko

Overview

Fuuko Izumo is the female protagonist of the manga series “Undead Unluck”. She is an 18-year-old girl with a unique Negator ability known as “Unluck”, which causes misfortune to those who touch her bare skin. This ability has led to a life of isolation and loneliness, but her encounter with Andy, a man with the “Undead” ability, changes her fate.

Personality

Fuuko starts her journey as a sad and lonely girl, deeply affected by the tragic consequences of her ability.

Her transformation from a scared girl to a strong leader is a testament to her resilience and courage.

Role in the Story

Fuuko is a key character in the story, initially joining the Union as member no. 10.

Through her training with the Union and her experiences in the 101st loop, she gains mastery in martial arts and sharpshooting, becoming a formidable fighter.

Relationships

Fuuko’s relationship with Andy is pivotal in her development. Andy’s ability to withstand her “Unluck” allows her to use her power in new ways, turning it from a liability to a weapon. This partnership not only helps her overcome her isolation but also fosters a deep bond between them.
