Izana Kurokawa/Relationships

Shinichiro Sano
Shinichiro was the first family Izana had after being orphaned and loved him dearly. He exploded at him when he found out they weren't actually real brothers; which lead to him feeling extremely lonely again. He later took over Shin's gang.

Manjiro Sano
Izana was jealous of Mikey of how Shin gave him affection also, wanting to be the sole brother to Shin when he found out that he was not related to Shin his jealousy strengthened. Ultimately wanting to destroy Mikey.

Emma Sano
Emma and Izana lived together until Izana was brought to the orphanage, promising they'll be together again. In his last moments, he said Emma's name as hints of his regret about what he did and still loves her as his sister.

Seishu Inui
Izana and Inupi met when they were kids at Shinichiro's bike shop. Inupi served under Izana as his right-hand man during the eighth generation of the Black Dragons. Inupi later disliked Izana for the way he changed the gang Shin worked hard for.

Kakucho
Kakucho and Izana met when they were both in the orphanage. Izana was as much a leader as a child as he was as an adult; telling Kakucho to follow him and eventually create their own kingdom which they named 'Tenjiku'. Founded by Izana the gang was strong, Kakucho was his second-hand man; he sought to destroy his younger brother. Kakucho is the voice of good reason for Izana and keeping him grounded, as he was going mad. They strived for a utopia together.

Planned from childhood that they'd never leave each other's side. When Kisaki began firing at Kakucho, Izana's body moved on autopilot jumping in front and ultimately killing him. In his dying moments, he smiled telling Kakucho that he was the only one he has, making Kakucho cry. When Izana took his last breath, Kakucho shifted towards Izana and grabbed his hand as the blood from their wounds mingled on the ground. Kakucho hoped he would die along Izana so that the latter didn't need to be alone in the afterlife. In the end, Kakucho survived, which ultimately marks the end of their era.

In his last moments, Izana realized that he was never alone. He came to see Kakucho, who was always by his side, as family.
