Fukunaga's feminine looks in the Manga

When she first appears in the manga, Fukunaga is under the alias of Hitomi Miyahara. When like this, she wears a long, blonde wig that goes just past her shoulders and makeup to make her look extra feminine. Her eyes are blue, and both her eyes and hair are represented by white in the non-colored pages. Her breasts are of unknown nature, though it has been hinted at that they are a combination silicone and naturally grown breasts due to hormones. She generally wears a miniskirt, high heels, and a shirt . Once she reveals herself as transgender, it is shown that her hair is naturally blonde, which is represented by neutral grey in the normal pages. She otherwise seems unchanged.

In the drama, Fukunaga is a male with a black bowl-cut, earning him the nickname "Kinoko (Mushroom) Head" by several players. He wears large glasses and usually has a scarf around his neck.

In both the manga and drama, Fukunaga is a person who will stop at nothing to get what they want. When trying to hide that, they act like a caring individual who was pulled into the game by force. They are also quite dramatic when they want to be, and is easily angered. They are also quite cunning and a socialite, even worming their way into all three groups during Round II.

In the manga, Fukunaga is transgender. Kanzaki Nao has voiced that she believes Fukunaga to be in love with Akiyama Shinichi. She is feminine enough that nobody doubts that she is woman, thanks to body mods, makeup, and clothes. Naturally, it also gives the idea that she alters her voice .

In the drama, Fukunaga crossdressed in the beginning of the round to lure suspicion away from himself and onto all women. He is also quite good at immitating a female voice, though he needs to press his finger against his Adam's apple to do so.
