“
You just don't get it, Yuuri! All of you think that the past is something I should be thinking of, when in fact it is personal! Do you understand the pain over losing someone you loved?
”
—Kozakura's revelation.

**Kozakura** is one of the characters of Otherside Picnic. She is a reclusive researcher who lives near Shakujii Park and a college friend of Satsuki Uruma who is willing to purchase the items Sorawo Kamikoshi and Toriko Nishina bring in from the Otherside for research and she is also their consultant regarding anything 'Otherside' related.

In the Unity Force Series, Kozakura firstly appears in Unity Force Missions: Girls' Last Tour along with Jima and the Saw Monster in Chapter 5. She is reputably known to not get along with Strelok for most of the time. She is also a student of Unity Force Academy. Her full name is later revealed to be **Kozakura Izumo** and is the older sister of the deceased Miyako Izumo.

## Appearance

Kozakura is a petite young lady with mid-back length white hair and pale brown eyes.

She is often seen in dresses with an oversized plain white shirt that slips on the left side and dark-coloured shorts.

## Personality

Kozakura speaks in a candid fashion who detests Toriko Nishina's officious behavior around her. She, however, tolerates Toriko's behavior as she goes out of her way to search the mysterious land of the Otherside, in hopes to find her friend Satsuki Uruma. Kozakura had explained that her serotonin transport gene is short (prone to get scared easily), she avoids going to the Otherside as much as possible, leaving Sorawo Kamikoshi and Toriko to do the fieldwork instead. Despite her blunt and insensitive attitude towards the pair, she cares and looks after them, sometimes showing concern whenever they go to the Otherside.

### U.F. Stories

In Chapter 14 of Unity Force: Stories, Kozakura also shows genuine guilt and sorrow, when it was revealed that her sister Miyako Izumo and her mother Reiko Izumo/Spiral-Head Woman were killed by a violent car crash on September 4, 2013, revealing further that she had trouble getting over her past as she was unable to save them, rendering her being a primary victim for the Entity's malicious psychological torture. After the Spiral-Head Woman's defeat, however, Kozakura goes back to her normal personality, but this time she is no longer haunted of her past memory.

Much like Chito, Kozakura is fond of cigarettes.

## Abilities

* **Remington M870**: A 12-gauge pump action shotgun attached with a GATOR shotgun spreader that was given to her by Satsuki Uruma.

## In the U.F. Series

In general, outside of Unity Force, Kozakura is shown to have a highly schismatic, divisive relationship towards her family, particularly her estranged father and her uncle, largely due to undue personal circumstances.

As inferred from the photo that Chito's group found that had faces blotted all over it, it is also assumed that Kozakura is noticeably distant towards the Kaguya family, and has shut them out of her life ever since for unknown circumstances.

She is notably known to be misanthropic towards Elena Amamiya, who has known her in the past, largely because she has known about her relationship as Madoka's estranged cousin.

## Trivia

* In the Unity Force series, the Kozakura surname serves as her first name, with the new surname being Izumo, which reflects on her relationship as Miyako's older sister.
