Izou (イゾウ Izou) was a tall man with black hair worn in a top ponytail; his clothing resembled that of a samurai. His eyes were shown to have black sclerae and red irides, but he usually kept them closed. He was often seen with a twig in his mouth. He carried his sword Kousetsu tied to his belt. Izou was a calm, stoic man with immense blood lust. He claimed that he needs to allow Kousetsu to "drink blood" regularly. He loved the Empire for allowing him to have as many fights as he wanted. He was also shown to honor foes that he's faced with a strong will, such as Lubbock.
