Touma says:
"The first words that come to mind when someone
mentions Shuu Rei Fuan to me are party animal, which is pretty much how he wants it to be.
Shuu is... boisterous, even loud, at times, and can be quite exuberant as well. No matter where he
is, he's there to have fun, and woe unto anyone who tries to stop him! Shin Mouri is
probably his best friend in the world, so Shin is usually the one he ropes into whatever scheme
or plot he's up to. Shuu tends to think big, and has a habit of over-reacting to things, but deep
inside, he's got a heart of solid gold. His idols are Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, and he has
every intention of becoming a martial arts movie star when he grows up. Shuu's also the toughest
member of our group - built like a tank, and about as easy to stop, when somebody needs his help!
His parents are both experts at kung-fu, and Shuu's been trained in the art
since he was a child. He lives in the Chinatown of Yokohama, and he's the only one of the Samurai
Troopers who's not of Japanese descent. His family runs a wide chain of Chinese restaurants, with
branches as far away as New York City, in America. I suppose growing up in restaurants and having
to share with four other siblings might explain why Shuu is obsessed with food now - he's
always hungry!"

The armour of Kongo is Shuu's yoroi,
and it draws its power from the element of earth. So long as he's in contact with the ground,
Shuu is all but unstoppable - in addition to being incredibly strong, he has the power to create
earthquakes. Physically, the Samurai Trooper of Kongo is almost impossible to beat, wielding as his main
weapon a tetsubo - a bo staff made of solid iron, and tipped with a naginata
blade. He can also break the staff into a three-jointed weapon called a Tsa Jat Koen.
However, Shuu is not the strongest Trooper mentally, easily confused and often tricked by
illusions. He also has a temper, and has been known to react violently when unsure what
is going on.

Shuu is the Samurai Trooper of justice, and fair play.
His armour of Kongo is one of the most powerful yoroi, as it is nearly always in contact with the
element from which it draws power. The Masho Rajura once implied that Kongo is also the
most bloodthirsty of the nine armours, and the one best constructed for battle.
