Izumi () is a recurring character in the Yakuza series introduced in Yakuza 3. She is a resident of Morning Glory Orphanage.
== Profile ==
=== Personality ===
The orphanage's youngest and smallest, Izumi tends to be self-centered and somewhat of a loner. She appears to be a dog person, taking care of and training Mame, who bears a resemblance to the dog she used to own with her parents before they died. Amongst the others at Morning Glory, she is usually the first at the dinner table.
== Background ==
When Izumi was born, her parents got her a dog named Mame. At a very young age, Izumi lost her parents in a traffic accident, and was later taken in at Morning Glory Orphanage by Kazuma Kiryu.
== Involvement ==
=== Yakuza 3: 2007-2009 ===
Izumi is first noticed by her absence, when everyone else is about to start dinner. Kiryu and Haruka look for her, saying that the other children may start eating. Kiryu finds Izumi on the beach just opposite the orphanage. She is crying because she has been being bullied at school for not having a "real" family. Kiryu and Haruka cheer her up by telling her that the orphanage is her real family, and they go back inside to find that the other children have not touched their food. The fact that they waited for her to return before eating reinforces the fact that she really is part of a real family.
=== Yakuza 5: 2012 ===
Izumi receives ¥5,000 in the ATM from Kiryu with the purpose of purchasing a dog collar for Christmas.
=== Yakuza 6: 2012-2017 ===
=== Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name: 2019 ===
Izumi has become an animal groomer. She visits Kiryu's grave on the anniversary of his death alongside Mitsuo, Koji, Eri, Shiro, and Riona after Haruka and Haruto leave, but before Ayako and Taichi arrive.
