[edit] About

Before the Conception, Futomimi's previous life was that of a serial killer. He often finds himself at odds with his chosen lifestyle, and secretly desires to reform himself and try to understand true human warmth. His was one of the strong souls that lingered and lent itself to to the earth after Tokyo transforms into the Vortex World, and his desired persona emerged, taking the form of a Manikin that has the power to see the future. He later became leader of all the Manikins.

Futomimi first appears at the Kabukicho Prison, who along with the other captured Manikins were being drained of Magatsuhi by the Mizuchi jailer and Naga Guards, remnants of the now-defunct Mantra from Ikebukuro. Hito-Shura frees him, and he shows his gratitude by guiding him on his future path by meeting with a man in Ginza.

With his visions, Futomimi led the Manikins in their path to find their own Reason, with a lofty ideal to make a world full of Manikins where they were no longer just slaves. Their starting point is the exodus in the treacherous Ikebukuro Tunnel that eventually led to the creation of their anointed ancestral village in Asakusa. As the Manikins rebuild, Futomimi often meditates in seclusion within their holy land, Mifunashiro, preparing for the realization of their own path of creation.

Sadly, his demise at the hands of Chiaki (or Hito-Shura if he chose to align with Yosuga) left the Manikins without hope, helplessly watching the world's rebirth with no way to influence it.

Futomimi is to be later reborn, called back into the Vortex World by the Afterlife Bell. His imprisoned spirit as his previous self can be liberated from the Maze of Hell in the 4th Kalpa of the Labyrinth of Amala. He will gain new powers and will become part of the Kishin clan, able to be summoned in the Cathedral Of Shadows as Hito-Shura's minion.

An interesting attribute of Futomimi is that he is the only Manikin that does not have constant involuntary spasms. This may be because of the purity of his Magatsuhi, or possibly because he was born from a single person's emotions (as opposed to other Manikins, who were born from many different people's emotions).
