Synopsis

Hakuo Academy used to be a prestigious high school, and famous for martial arts. However, because the rival school, Seishikan, lured superior students by dirty way, Hakuo Academy was going to decline.

In order to recover from the situation, Hokujo Hikoko, the chairperson of the boards of the director, sent a massager to the Fuma Village. Fuma Clan was a ninja group, and it was said that they could run several thousands miles a day, they could hear a needle drop three miles away, and they could tell apart one’s face a mile away in darkness, etc.

The leader of Fuma sent Kojiro to the academy. What was waiting for him at school was fight against Yasha Clan that worked for Seishikan and the strongest enemy Asuka Musashi. Musashi was fighting for a little sister who was suffering from incurable disease.

After Ring no Kakero, his first great success as an author, Masami Kurumada created another battle shonen series, this time focused on ninja clans (in which, obviously, no member is older than fifteen years old) fighting to death, using ingenious and crazy techniques: Fuma no Kojiro (FnK). In this series, many elements will be born and reused in what will be Mr Kurumada's masterpiece: Saint Seiya. Yasha-hen is the first set of OVA, and adapts the first story arc of the manga (there’s also a second set, Seiken Sensou-hen, and a final OVA, Fuma Hanran-hen). Despite being a series that read more

Fuuma no Kojiro is one of the early works (1982) by Masami Kurumada (Saint Seiya's creator), and the best one after his most famous manga in my opinion.

The story is loosely based on Japanese historical ninja conflicts and rivalry, but sets in an alternative modern day, where ninjas wear high school uniforms, use bokken (wood swords) and have superpowers.

Kojiro, the protagonist, is one of the strongest members of Fuma clan. He is engaged by Hakuo Academy to support and protect them from a rival school, Seishikan.

Both anime are about rival ninja clans fighting each other in some epic battles full of violence, persecutions, traps and superpowers.

Both stories were created by Masami Kurumada, and share some common features, specially bloody fights, exaggerated manliness and ultimate loyalty.

In Fuuma no Kojiro you'll find several characters with almost identical appearance to the ones in Saint Seiya, since Kurumada uses the star system (popularized by Osamu Tezuka) in his works. Kojiro is Seiya counterpart (and vice versa). Ikki (Asuka Musashi) and Shun (Kirikaze) also have their doubles, and so on.
