Fū Yamanaka (山中フー, Yamanaka Fū, Viz: Foo) was a shinobi from Konohagakure’s Yamanaka clan, as well as a high-ranking shinobi of the disbanded Anbu faction Root.
Background[]
Fū was among many promising young children from various clans of Konohagakure that was personally selected and recruited by Danzō Shimura to join Root, much to the dismay of Inoichi Yamanaka. His training was directly under Danzō’s supervision.[1]
Later, already well-adjusted to the workings of Root, he was paired up with the newly recruited Torune. Despite some mild mocking on Fū’s part, he was tasked with instructing Torune with the workings of Root. Ultimately, the two formed a strong and long-standing friendship.[2]
Personality[]
Like all other members of the Anbu faction, Root, Fū lacks a personality due to the gruesome training regime Danzō had them undergo at a young age. As such, he acts merely as a tool that carries out Danzō’s orders. The only discernible trait that he and the other members have shown is fierce loyalty towards Danzō. As such, he was willing to face Tobi with Torune and Danzō without fear or losing his temper. As a child, he was cocky and more cheerful. Despite the teachings of Root, Fū genuinely viewed Torune as a trusted friend.[3]
Appearance[]
When first introduced, Fū’s appearance was that of a regular Konoha Anbu, with a white cloak and mask. When he removed the mask, it was revealed that he was a young man with auburn colored hair and amber eyes. He wore a short, black jacket with red straps on the shoulders like all members of Root which most likely shows allegiance to the organization. He also wore a red short kimono under the jacket with a black sash, a pair of black gloves, dark-colored pants, and regular shinobi sandals.
As a child in Root, he wore a light brown short kimono with a black sash, grey pants, and shinobi sandals. Fū also wore black wristbands on his wrists.
