Fushi (Japanese: フシ) is the protagonist of To Your Eternity, a manga series written and illustrated by Yoshitoki Ōima. Initially named "Orb", Fushi is an immortal creature sent by a mysterious entity labeled as "the Beholder" to Earth. He takes multiple forms when first visiting Earth and after befriending a young dying villager, Fushi copies his appearance as a response to his last request of never forgetting him. As the manga progresses, the Orb travels across the planet and is given the name Fushi by a young villager named March while other characters presented in the narrative help him interact with others, forming bonds with the people he meets while becoming more human-like.

Ōima created Fushi as a character who would often connect with readers to struggle with the idea of the importance of surviving and the dilemma of immortality. His immortality traits were created for him to adapt to multiple story arcs where she would be given freedom to create distinctive types of interactions. In the Japanese animated adaptation of the series, Fushi is voiced by Reiji Kawashima.[1] For the English dub, the role was given to Jacob Hopkins.[2]

Critical response to Fushi grew from lukewarm to very positive, praising the execution of his development from a divinity to a human, as a result of connections forged with the individuals he meets.
