Fushi

Fushi is a term that can refer to multiple distinct uses in different languages and media, and does not have a single, universal meaning. In Mandarin Chinese, fushi can be a romanization of different character combinations, depending on the tones and characters involved, and may appear in personal names or compound terms. Without context, “fushi” is ambiguous.

In popular culture, Fushi is the name of the main protagonist in the Japanese manga and anime series To Your Eternity, created by Yoshitoki Ōima. In the series, Fushi is an immortal being who learns about life, humanity, and emotion through interactions with humans and other beings, often taking on different forms and identities as the story unfolds. The series began serialization in 2016 and the anime adaptation premiered in 2021.

Other uses include its role as a transliteration in various languages for different terms. People may encounter fushi as a given name or as part of place names, depending on the characters used in Chinese, Japanese, or other scripts. Because of its nature as a romanization, precise meaning and pronunciation can vary widely.

If we say “Fushi” as a proper noun, there is no single definition; it is best understood from context.
