If Isawa Fosuto and a p'an ku are in play. and panku decides to copy fosuto's ablitity and use it. will p'anku add tokens on the beginning of the next turn and turns after that?

Isawa Fosuto Maho Open: Bow Fosuta: Lose 6 Honor. While Fosuta remains bowed, you may negate his straightening and, at the start of each turn, you may target a Personality and give him a -1F/-1C Curse token. After the next time this game Fosuta straightens or leaves play, destroy all Curse tokens.

P'an Ku Open: Once per turn, target another Personality. Permanently copy the target's printed Force. Open: Once per turn, target another Personality. Permanently copy the target's printed Chi. Open: Once per turn, target a non-Dragon Personality. Copy one of the target's abilities or boldface traits until the next time this ability is used.

Yes.

The duration of the ability's effect is while P'an Ku remains bowed (because copied abilities, per the rules, refer to the card they are copied onto), so as long as P'an Ku remains bowed, the effect will continue.
