Personality

Despite having a keen sense of observation, he seems aloof on the surface, so you can’t read him. He holds true to his motto "Go with the flow", and he finds it important to spend time and share happiness with friends rather than by oneself. But don’t get him wrong; he is by no means an easy-going person.

Story

Background

He claims to be a non-human that resided in the Backyard. No one knows where he was born, but his tender manner and Japanese sword do not fit him together; it shows that he has a long past behind him, maybe because he was born in a world of information, but his manner of speech seems to be a mesh of various backgrounds, creating a hybrid dialect.

Guilty Gear 2

After Sol defeats the Vizuel a voice introduced himself as Izuna, a resident of the backyard. Izuna told Sin and Sol that the Vizuel were seeking out and destroying gears. Their main area of interest was the kingdom of Illyria. Izuna through a series of warp gates would take the pair to Illyria.

When Sin was captured by Valentine, she set some barriers that couldn't be broken by conventional magic or strength. Fortunately Izuna beign an habitant of the Backyard is very familiar with this kind of barrier, then he proposed to destroy all of them displaying all his abilities.

With Sin saved and after an encounter with the That Man, Izuna, Sol and Dr. Paradigm went to the Backyard to put an end to Valentine's plan, but she was tired of their intervention and showed her first emotion, frustration. Then Valentine transformed herself into a big gear. But in that moment Sin appeared and told Sol that they were going to stop Valentine while he stabilizes the Cube.

Izuna, Sin and Paradigm fought a hard battle against Valentine but in the end Sol was able to stabilize the Cube. But due to her failure Valentine transformed herself once again into a huge gear and attempt to close the entrance to the Backyard. Izuna, Sin and Paradigm were able to escape in time, but Sol decided to stay and put an end to Valentine's rampage.

Guilty Gear Vastedge

Izuna and Nekomata make a brief appearance where they are traveling the countryside selling magical seeds. Izuna also offers Sol and Sin some information about the location of the Flashing Fang.

Guilty Gear Xrd

Though he does not make an appearance, he is mentioned by Sol and Paradigm, with Sol postulating the idea of using Izuna's Dimensional Traversal magic to teleport to Ariels' location. However, Paradigm states that he hasn't been able to contact Izuna in a while, which he speculates may be due to the Universal Will.

Abilities

Despite his pacifistic and aloof nature, he is an incredibly skilled swordsman and possesses vast magical abilities and knowledge that exceeds the standard system of Magic. He can also teleport to almost any place within his range, which is intercontinental, and can do so with several people at once. Sol has stated that such a feat is nearly impossible to accomplish on one's own and normally requires the combined power of several hundred mages to achieve. He was also regarded as so dangerous that Ariels herself opted to confront and seal him to prevent his intervention.
