Kotarō Fūma (風魔 小太郎) is the alias of a real ninja from Japan's Warring States Peroid. He appears in the online series Pure Heart: Ninjutsu Chronicle. He is the leader of the Kazama Family, the leading band of the Fuuma Ninja.
Creation and Concept
When Seishin was starting out, MGW had Kotaro set up as an important antagonist. He had a contract with a demon, which would feed off Dukkha and give him incredible strength to help him commit wrongdoings. Thus, he became a warmonger and enjoyed harming, killing, and spread suffering if it aided the Hojo. Not much else was thought of for ideas.

It is said that all leaders of the Fuuma ninja have adopted the name 'Kotaro" and there have been five in all. Each one has bewitching charisma and are known for their red clothes and physical beauty. His personality is mostly affable, but there is also a demonic mercilessness in which he says is required to lead "His Fuuma", a small force known for effectively spreading chaos. Kotaro lives in Kazama Valley (風間谷).
The 5th Kotaro is often referred to as "Kazama" by the Hojo leaders and would write his name down as such in scrolls. Hojo Soun (1432 – 1519), the first head of the Go-Hojo, employed Kotaro.
