Prior to joining Hayami Katsumasa on board the S.S. Kengan, Fujio met with the other 5 people that Hayami had hired and was thoroughly weirded out by the eclectic group of men.[2]
Plot[]
After being deployed by Hayami Katsumasa, Fujio went to take out his target Imai Cosmo. However, despite having done his research on the young fighter's fighting style and techniques, Fujio was unsuccessful in his attempt to steal Cosmo's position, getting knocked unconscious in the process.

Fujio is a dangerous individual who hits quite hard (helped by the fact he wears knuckledusters) and is also not above using weaponry and other items in order to take down the targets that he thoroughly researches up on.[1] However, despite knowing about Imai Cosmo's specialty, he still fell prey to the young fighters superior skill.
