風とともに歩む者(kaze to tomoni ayumu mono)


Explanation:
This is more poetic translation and sounds old like a phrase in a legend.

When you don't want to emphasize "with" too much, "ともに" is more appropriate than "共に".

If you feel the expression above too long, you can say shortly, ¥"風の人(kaze no hito)¥" or ¥"風の者(kaze no mono)¥". (In this short expression, ¥"人(hito)¥" is more cool than ¥"者(mono)¥"

風来坊(fuu-rai-bou)


Explanation:
風来坊(fuu-rai-bou) is one example of colloquial expression.
「風」means a wind.「風来坊」has a nuance of someone getting one's way, or someone who comes and go away with the wind.
