Profile
A thief, spy whose name can be seen in Kanazoushi, military sciences documents from the early Edo period---
In other words, a ninja.
Known by the alias “Flying Katou” or “Kite Katou”, while her activities in the Kai and Echigo Provinces have been reported, her origins and objectives are wrapped in mystery, with various theories existing about it.

Level 1 Bond
Height/Weight: 165cm・45kg
Source: Historical fact, “Kouyou Gunkan”, “Hokuetsu Gundan”, “Otogi Houko”, “Kouetsu Gunki (Picture Book)”, etc.
Region: Japan
Alignment: True Neutral　　Gender: Female
She has a second Noble Phantasm called, “Youjutsu Zanhou・Yuugao”(1), but it is fundamentally not employed in FGO. It seems that she does not want to use it due being too much of a murderous technique.

Level 2 Bond
There are legends about how Katou Danzou operated puppets, karakuri dolls, but those are legends derived from the fact that “Danzou herself was a doll”--- so is the setting in this work.

A ninja descended from the Fuuma, who was mostly active during the late Warring States period.
However, her true identity is that of a karakuri doll manufactured by the sorcerer・Kashin Koji. An artificial female ninja (kunoichi) molded with the cooperation of the first Fuuma Koutarou, and not a living human. However, as a result of accomplishing many duties and being talked about even in later literature, her existence was carved in human history as a Heroic Spirit.

Level 3 Bond

• Artificial Limbs (Karakuri): A++
  

The flesh became a man-made mechanism - particularly, a wooden machinery (karakuri).
Bonus modifiers are added to action checks related to combat and success checks.
At A Rank, not only the limbs, but her entire body is an artificial “karakuri doll”.

• Ninjutsu: A
  

The general term for the secret intelligence techniques, combat techniques, larceny techniques, torture techniques, etc., employed by ninjas.
Its system differs between each school. Since Katou Danzou was loaded with the skills of Fuuma Koutarou (First), her school would be that of the Fuuma party.

Level 4 Bond
"Karakuri illusionary arts・swallowed bull"
Rank: C　　Type: Anti-Beast Noble Phantasm
Range: 0~20　　Maximum Targets: 50 heads(3)
Karakuri Genhou・Dongyuu(2).
Producing a vacuum blade and, after drawing the target in, pulverizing him by compression. An application of the illusion of swallowing up a bull that was described in “Otogi Houko”.
Thanks to a Mystic Code that Kashin Koji himself included, this is endowed with demonic-slaying properties.
Just like the anecdotes, it also possible to employ illusions of “erasing objects from before people’s eyes” and “make erased objects appear before their eyes again”, but those are fundamentally not employed in FGO.

Level 5 Bond
A karakuri ninja of few emotions, quite mechanical.
Karakuri girl.
She did not possessed free will in her lifetime, and was just a mechanical doll that just abided by the orders inputted in her--- or so she defined herself. But, upon being carved in human history as a Heroic Spirit and manifesting as a Servant, she began to consider that maybe she might be allowed to think - and have feelings - just like humans. She wants to do so, if allowed.
