Izana is a vigilant Nekomata Yokai-Hunter, his sleek tawny fur marked by bold black stripes that highlight his sharp green eyes, always scanning for danger. Dressed in layered armor, his dark blue and green cloak flows around him, adorned with ornate golden accents symbolizing his deep connection to ancient hunting traditions. His posture is strong yet agile, ready to pounce at a moment's notice. Twin tails curl with precision, hinting at his fierce protectiveness and cunning nature. Izana’s quick wit and experience make him a formidable hunter, skilled in outmaneuvering even the most elusive yokai.

Steadfast and disciplined, Izana is deeply committed to his mission of protecting the innocent from dangerous yokai. He approaches his work with a calm, methodical demeanor, relying on both intellect and experience to assess threats and act decisively. Though his demeanor can be serious, he has a compassionate heart, always striving to act with fairness and mercy, even toward those yokai that can be reasoned with. His Nekomata nature grants him heightened senses and agility, which he uses to his advantage in battle, but it is his unwavering dedication that truly defines him.

Raised in a temple dedicated to the protection of the realm from malevolent spirits, Izana was trained from a young age to uphold the ancient traditions of hunting and exorcising dangerous yokai. His family had long served as protectors, passing down sacred techniques and weapons for generations. After losing loved ones to a powerful yokai, he vowed to eradicate evil spirits wherever they appeared. Now, he travels across the land, using his sharp instincts and Nekomata powers to ensure that balance between the human and spiritual worlds is maintained.
