Personality Not much is shown in his personality, there was not enough dialogue to develop a good idea of how he is like. I believe he values promises and has strong values. When Saizuchi saves his life Fuji becomes Saizuchi's willing slave in order to pay him back. He is often mistreated and feared due to his large size. But all he wants is to be treated like a warrior.
Backround History There isn't much known about Fuji's past. Saizuchi saved his life sometime down the line and Fuji became his slave. When Saizuchi decided to join the Juppon Gatana, Fuji followed him. Fuji (with Saizuchi on his sholder) face off Kaoru, Yahiko, and the Oniwabanshu. He proves to be too strong for all of them, until Hiko shows up and defeats him. After the Gupon Gatana was defeated Fuji worked for the government doing things that bulldozers and large machinery does. (i.e. Digging up roads, etc.)
Watsuki's View "It seems like he was inspired by Evangelion, but Fuji really stems from the giant god-soldiers in "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind." When I was thinking "Oh man, I gotta get all the Ten Swords out," I saw the TV road show and it hit me--a giant! But my next thought was "Kenshin fighting a giant, how interesting would that be?" and I rejected it. The idea was hard to shake, though, and as I racked my brains over it, I eventually came up with the idea of pitting him against the joker of Ruroken, Hiko, in a kind of side story. When my boss saw the plans for Fuji, his first words were "Are you sure about that?" When the editor saw them, his first words were "Isn’t he a little too big?" As always when there are a lot of doubts, my friends and assistants all said that "It’s cool, it’s fine,"and when I finally tried it, I was really happy at the favorable response. Another part of Fuji came from the Frost Giants of Finnish folk tales (well, I’m not exactly sure that it’s Finnish, but . . .) The idea that giants were not necessarily monsters and that they had hearts formed Fuji’s core, and I went from there. for the design, I have to admit, I used the Prototype Model from Eva as the basis. I tried a lot of things before I decided on his design, and at first, I just picked my favorite of the Evas, the Production Model, to use for the face. But my assistants all said, "They look too much alike," so it was rejected. Finally Takei Hiroyuki-sensei (from Butsu Zone--he used to be my assistant) couldn’t stand to see me groaning with my head in my hands any longer and suggested a design based on the prototype model, flavored with a skull. I incorporated a helmet with a string he was chewing on and finished the face. I tried to do the body without being all Eva-Eva about it. Those who know will have realized it at once. It’s Dogura Magura from Obata Takeshi-shishou’s "Arabian Lamp Lamp." I said I would combine two conflicting elements, a monster that’s good-looking (well, clean-cut), planning to conquer this lofty goal... However I was working on Fuji’s section at a time when my schedule was really intense, and I didn’t have time to polish up the design, so I sort of regret the whole thing. Obata-shishou, I’m really, really, really sorry..."
