Izana Takahitsuji

Izana Takahitsuji (高羊 いざな) is the main hero and one of the main protagonists of the sequel to Kindred Hearts: Esper Chronicles, titled Kindred Hearts Esper Generations. He is one of Alfredo Takahitsuji and Yurika Kurihara's children and one of Dr. Marika Takahitsuji nephews.
== Appearance ==
Izana is a 12-year old Esper child with a shaggy black hair and a pair of red eyes that resemble those of his father's, a rather lean and short body and a cute yet adorable face. His outfit consists of a dark grey hoodie jacket with a grey shirt underneath, a pair of matching leggings and a pair of matching loafers with white socks underneath. Sometimes he also wears a pair of black fingerless gloves. In school, he wears his Rurigaoka uniform (blue vest with white shirt underneath, matching pants and black and white sneakers).
== Personality ==
Izana is an aloof yet friendly boy. He's also a heroic yet kind boy, who loves to help everyone in need. Izana is exceptionally smart, but he's pretty spoiled and dependent on his beloved mother Yurika. He always treats women with respect, and never wanted to fight one except when he’s forced to. He's also a caring brother figure to his younger sister Hime, and he usually plays with her or shares his food with her. He's also protective to everyone he loves, especially her family and friends. Losing one of them means serious business to him.
== Abilities ==
* Vermilion Volt: A variant of Rachel's Kinetic Jolt, minus the electromagnetism and with a red aura instead of a blue aura. This Sigil is inherited from his father, Alfredo, and it comes with the same EX Skills as his father's.
* Sigil Memories: Shards of crystals containing essences of many Espers's Sigils, which can be used to emulate them whilst using Vermilion Volt. Izana is in possession of his father and mother's Sigil Memories, which he can use to unlock his powerful Burst Form.
* Equipment: Izana is armed with a pair of wakizashis called Angel's Wings. But, when using his Burst Form, his wakizashis turns into a dual-bladed sword.
== EX Skills ==
* Vermilion Burst: Izana’s variant of Rachel’s Blitz Kick. It emits a crackling explosion that could send his opponents flying and burning at the same time.
* Raijingeki (Dragon God’s Rage): Channels Vermilion Volt at his right hand as he assumes a crouching position, and then rushes at the opponent with one strike, creating an explosion of electricity.
* Dragonrise Rush: A ten hit combo charged with Vermilion Volt which devastates his opponent.
* Crimson Dragon Blast: A sphere of pure electricity that can blast an opponent in one shot, but overusage can cause recoil.
* Neon Slash: Creates a blade of red lightning that can cut anything. A variant of Rachel’s Volt Cutter.
* Volt Vanguard: An electromagnetic forcefield that also serves as Izana’s means of defense. A variant of Rachel’s Galvanic Shield.
== Trivia ==
* Izana's appearance and personality are inspired by Ren Amamiya from Persona 5, Aruto Hiden from Kamen Rider Zero-One, Copen from Azure Striker Gunvolt, Yuito Sumeragi from Scarlet Nexus, Ritsu Sakuma from Ensemble Stars and Issei Hyodo from High School DxD. Since Alfredo was inspired by Sun Ce from Dynasty Warriors, Izana is possibly based on Sun Shao, who is still an NPC in the Dynasty Warriors series, though his appearance, fighting style and personality slightly resembles Lu Xun.
* His last name can be mispronounced as Kouyagi, a same problem shared by all of the Takahitsuji Family members.
* Izana has a sweet tooth, and he really loves to eat cookies, especially ones baked by his mother, Yurika. He also likes desserts such as ice cream, cheescake, milkshakes (especially chocolate shakes), parfaits and pastries.
* Every time he begs in front of Yurika, she always imagines him with a pair of cat ears and a cat tail, usually rolling on the floor. She can't help but to fulfill anything Izana wants, since his cry is pretty loud and ear-splitting.
*His true first appearance was in Chapter 5 of Arc 2's Vermilion Side, where he appears as an Esper child trapped inside the ribcage of a skeletal dragon (Dark Nightmare). He was then freed by Yurika using her Sigil, and played with her for a while before dissipating into light as the Dark Nightmare inside Alfredo dies out slowly.
* Izana is a fan of a TV show called “Armored Insect Warriors”, a tokusatsu show about a group of anthropomorphic insects fighting against a legion of aliens bent on world domination. He even imitated poses, quotes and scenes from said TV show and cosplayed as the show’s main protagonist, and even collected figurines from said TV show.
* During the events of Battle Game in 5 Seconds, Izana and his younger sister were saved by Hoopa, when they were lost in a forest in Jing Province, where they were about to killed by Renka. They were evacuated to Senayan Park during the Oshawott Community Day, where Yuuta and the JCtn Squad are celebrating with Miju and his brethren, including the princess of Scalchop Island, Osharina. Renka then summoned the S Zombie to stop the squad from saving the two, but it was then blammoed by Foo. Before she manages to kill the two Takahitsuji siblings, she was then stopped by Microsoft Sam and his ROFL Blaster. She's then taken to Sharkfin Rock by Daisaku Ito and He Jin of the CFBI, and the party resumed.
*After they were saved by Yuuta, a troublemaker named Meng Da attempted to kidnap the Takahitsuji siblings when they went on a visit to Kolya's studio to play video games with Yuuta, the JCtn Squad and the B-Gang (Bernard and Billy). He then unleashes his reinforcements, which consisted of troublemakers such as Nanette and Yuuta's childhood bullies, but they were beaten back and perished by Princess Peach, Lu Bu, and Jazzi. After that, Meng Da was arrested by Daisaku Ito of the CFBI for not admitting defeat.
