First she is of the Mononobe clan, which was a clan that was around during the late Kofun period early Asuka period which was during the 6th century. They are best known for having been fierce defenders of Shintoism during the religious war against Buddhism. (Their leader Moriya burned several Buddhist Temples.) They are most affiliated with the Isonokami Shrine and Futusu no Mitama. (Futo's name is written with the same kanji as Futsu in Futsu no Mitama.) They claim to be descended from the god Nigihayahi no Mikoto who descended to earth on a rock boat (Futo has this same boat.)
The Mononobe clan fought against the Soga clan who defended Buddhism, most of this was for political reasons. The Mononobe tried to remove Prince Shoutoku (Who was connected to the Soga can) and instate their own prince but failed. In the end Prince Shoutoku and the Soga spread Buddhism through Japan. In historical notes Moriya is mentioned, leader of the Mononobe, and his sister Futsuhime who was married to Soga no Umako and said to have mothered Tojiko no Iratsume who was consort of Prince Shoutoku. (Futo's name is also written the same as Futsuhime and it is safe to assume she is the same.)
This is what historical knowledge would let him know. (Things are a little different in her accounts however.) So he's free to know as much as you want him to.
As for Futo herself, she has a lot of powers. She claims to practice "Feng Shui" as a Taoist, but really she uses Shinto magic with Taoist dressings. So a bit of a mix of both. (Sort of like Onmyoudo.) Her methods are a hodgepodge of disciplines and things she's made up though. The roots would be simple to recognize however. She is also a Shikaisen, which is a hermit who gains immortality through first killing themselves and cheating death.
Her spiritual strength is great and there is a "divinity" about her, mostly due to having the blood of a god. As for a fight, she could probably counter most his techniques as she's familiar with those methods. But I don't know how even or not even they would be against each other.
