Izana Kunagiri

Izana Kunagiri (イザナ・クナギリ) is a supporting character from Final Fantasy Type-0, and is voiced by.

Appearance and Personality
Izana is a soldier from Rubrum with emerald green eyes, black hair, and a scar running across his left temple. He is Machina's older brother, and owns a chocobo, Chichiri, with whom he has a strong bond.

Despite his love for chocobos, he seems to be more serious in nature than he appears. When faced with his end, Izana cries out emotionally and voices his fear of dying.

Story
Izana is seen in several of Ace's flashbacks through out the game, serving as a Suzaku soldier who became a good friend to Ace.

In the game's opening, Izana is among those wounded during the Milites Empire's invasion of Rubrum. He is seen walking the streets and asking his allies if they have seen a young man with a red mantle, referring to Ace. Shortly afterwards, they are attacked by a bomb from Milites soldiers. Chichiri comes to Izana's rescue, and he rides the chocobo in search of Ace. Heavily wounded and exhausted, Izana eventually falls off Chichiri and is knocked unconscious.

He awakes to the sound of a gunshot, and sees Chichiri being gunned down. Despite the approach of enemy soldiers, Izana tries to use his magic to heal the chocobo but he is too weak. He yells out Ace's name, who appears and kills the soldiers. Ace tries to help Izana, but Queen says it is too late to save him. Ace and Queen reluctantly leave him to join Nine in fighting off a second platoon of Milites soldiers.

Izana lies with Chichiri, commenting that its name is weird. On the verge of death, he wonders if Machina is well. He also thinks of Rem, saying that he wants to meet with her again. Before dying, attempting to accept his fate, Izana spent his final moments breaking down as he emotionally expresses his fear of death. Soon after he and the chocobo died, Ace is seen approaching Izana and Chichiri's bodies and shedding a tear for them. Though Ace tries to act ignorant of his involvement, Machina eventually learns of the event and develops a grudge against Ace and Class Zero for allowing his brother to die.

However, in the alternate ending, Arecia's removal of the four crystals from Oriense negates both the Militan invasion of Rubrum and Izana's death. It is also revealed that he is currently in a relationship with Cadet Instructor Emina.
