A trans woman who first appears in Round II, where she poses as a woman named Hitomi (Hitomi is her friend for whom she substitutes as player No. 3). Sly and calculating and also a 5th degree black belt, Fukunaga is a skilled manipulator whose greatest weakness appears to be her desire for money and her bad temper. She greatly hinders Nao and Akiyama during Round II and the Revival Round, but has never been able to outwit Akiyama. However, Fukunaga cooperates with them well during Round III and even when she finishes the round debt-free, she chooses to continue in the tournament. To avoid revealing her skills during the mock stimulation, she sends Nao in her place, matching Solario's expectations. Though Fukunaga seems fond of Nao in her own way, she doesn't think of her as competent.     ~! In chapter 83, Nao comes to the conclusion that Fukunaga has a crush on Akiyama. !~

Wishing she would live up to the ideal, Kanzaki Nao's father named her thusly for &ldquo;honesty&rdquo;. Nao has more than lived up to her father's wishes--even exceeding them and earning the label of "a foolishly honest girl". This makes Nao the least qualified candidate for the high stakes 'Liar Game', where winning requires deceiving the opponent out of their money and losing means receiving massive debt. However, that doesn't stop a box containing a hundred million yen in cash and a card informing her of her participation in the game from arriving at her doorstep, nor does it stop her from being promptly tricked out of the entire sum of money. Upon hearing that a genius swindler, responsible for the bankruptcy of a major corporation, is being released from jail, Nao goes to the swindler, Shinichi Akiyama, to enlist his help. With that, the two are drawn into the dark, greed-filled, and deceptive world of the Liar Game.
