Discover the Legendary Fūma Ninja
Odawara’s Shadowy Guardians of History!
Step into the mysterious world of the Fūma Ninja, a legendary group of elite spies and warriors once known as the Rappa.
With their base stretching from Odawara to Hakone, they were famed for their daring tactics, superior horsemanship,
stealthy infiltration, and behind-the-lines disruption during Japan’s turbulent Sengoku period (15th-16th centuries).
At the helm of this covert clan stood generations of warriors known by a single inherited name: Fūma Kotarō.
Their incredible abilities caught the eye of the great warlord Hōjō Sōun, founder of the powerful Odawara Hōjō clan.
From then on, the Fūma served the Hōjō faithfully for five generations, operating in secrecy and striking from the shadows.
Though their stories are recorded in historical texts such as the Kōyō Gunkan, Hōjō Godaiki, and Kanhasshū Kōsenroku,
much of the Fūma Ninja’s history remains veiled in mystery—only deepening the allure of their legacy.
