The other was an old man with white hair but a youthful face. He was powerfully built, and his cold expression gave off an intense, oppressive feeling.

Fukuda Hisao.
In Japan, the Fukuda surname could be traced back to Xu Fu's eastern voyage during the Qin Dynasty. While the Fukuda Clan wasn't part of the Royal Family, they were connected by blood.
The Emperor ruled in the light while the Fukuda Clan operated from the shadows. During times of crisis, they protected the Royal Family's lineage and ensured the continuation of the legitimate bloodline in Japan.
Their power and influence were immense. They even possessed the means to communicate with the Alchemists. In fact, when the Alchemists mobilized the Japanese military against Yi Beidou, they did so by leveraging the Fukuda Clan as their channel. It was this man, Fukuda Hisao, who had personally arranged the secret phone call with Japan's prime minister.
