Cameos[]

Although for many years there were no sequels made to Getsu Fūma Den, Fuma has made cameo appearances in several other Konami products:

Trivia[]

  • His name 月風魔 (げつ ふうま) Getsu Fūma means (moon), (wind) and (demon/devil/evil/magic).
  • In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, a glitch was confirmed that putting Down-B subskills can be spammed (useful for training them on Survival Mode). Hold Down while pressing LB and B at the same time at a fast speed to spam.
  • Fuma's double jump in Harmony of Despair is called Mashō no Koma (魔性のコマ? lit. "Demonic Spin Top") from Getsu Fūma Den.
  • Unlike the other playable characters, Fuma is based on a real-life historical figure known as Fūma Kotarō, a ninja-turned brigand who served the Hōjō clan of samurai during the Japanese Warring States period.
  • While not playable in the sequel, his successor of same name does appear as a playable character, while the original Getsu Fuuma is referenced to and appears as a statue in the Ancient Battlegrounds.
