'''Fukurou''', is a Japanese ''[[Smash 64]]'' player who is considered to be one of the best ''Smash 64'' {{SSB|Kirby}} players in the world and was considered the best player in the world in 2017. 

==Tournament history==
One of his earlier wins was vs {{sm|Prince}}, the top Yoshi main, back at Kansai 2012. He got 9th at [[Kanto 2013]] and then an unexpected 4th at the first Japanese national tournament of 2015, [[Kansai 2015]]. He has improved since then, taking 2nd to {{Sm|wario}} at [[Kanto 2015]] winning vs {{Sm|Moyashi}}, {{Sm|Maha}}, and many other top level players. 

He was originally chosen to attend [[Super Smash Con 2016]] but was unable to due to work obligations. Instead, [[Snosa III]] ended up being his first US tournament (with Japanese players {{Sm|Gyaki}} and {{Sm|Hiyo}} attending as well). There, he did not drop a single game until Grand Finals, where he lost set 1 2-3 against {{Sm|Mariguas}} but then won set 2 3-1.

Fukurou took first place at [[Japan Smash Cup 2017]] with victories over {{Sm|Yu-Kun}}, {{Sm|kysk}} and Maha and [[Kanto 2017]] with victories over Maha, {{Sm|Keisuke}}, {{Sm|wangera}}, gyaki and Moyashi.

After winning [[Super Smash Con 2017]] over players such as {{Sm|Kurabba}}, {{Sm|wangera}}, {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}} and {{Sm|Alvin}}, he was widely considered to be the best player in the world for 2017, and was formerly ranked 1st on the [[2017 64 League Rankings]].

However at the following events [[UFSmash 3]] in Brazil, [[GENESIS 5]] in the US and [[Kansai 2018]] he failed to win, losing to {{Sm|Gerson}}, {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}} and {{Sm|Alvin}} and {{Sm|Wario}}.

In March 2018 he disappeared from the scene. Half a year later he went active on Twitter and could be contacted again, but remained inactive from ''Smash 64''.

In September 2019, he made a return to ''Smash 64'' at [[Kanto Fall 2019]], defeating {{Sm|Kurabba}} and {{Sm|Wangera}}, but falling to [[sekirei]] in Winners Semis, and the rematch against Kurabba in Losers Semis, finishing at an impressive 4th place.
