Fuku (福ふく Fuku?) was a bento vendor at a train station supporting the Mugen train.

Fuku is a small girl, with long dark brown hair worn in a braid down her back. Her eyes are a dark purple that fades to lower purple, with white, square irises.

Fuku wears a plain red and brown haori over a white collared shirt, along with a white apron, which appears to be the uniform of the bento shop where she works. She also wears a tawny peaked beret and a pair of large round glasses.

Personality

Fuku is a relatively polite girl, although she is often stressed about finances and work. She thinks she has to work hard to support her parents because their business isn’t doing very well, which her grandmother tells her only adults should worry about.

She is also convinced that demons don’t exist and refuses to go to bed because her grandmother thinks they are vulnerable to demon attacks at night. However, once Kyojuro Rengoku kills Slasher before her eyes, she rectifies this belief and apologizes to her grandmother for doubting what she said.

Later that night, Fuku and her grandmother arrive at the next station to set up their stall. As she finishes the final touches, Fuku hears something and turns around to see a marked demon, telling her that her death will be Hashira’s fault. As she staggers in fear, Fuku’s grandmother hits the demon with a bento box, momentarily distracting it with the smell and giving it time to run away. Although she manages to get out of the station, the demon grabs her throat and tries to kill her. Just then, Kyojuro arrives and severs the demon’s Achilles tendon, thus saving Fuku. Incredulous at what she has just seen, she realizes that her grandmother is now all alone. She looks at Kyojuro confront and decapitate the demon in an instant, thus saving her.
