Has tattoos on his back, neck, arms, and chest. A dragon on his back, flowers on his neck, a crow on the right side from chest to arm, and an eagle on the left side.

Young head and current acting leader of the Izumo Clan. He features a short black hairstyle with an undercut, usually styled in a slicked-back look. His appearance is sharp and intimidating, strongly conveying the aura of an acting clan leader. However, when he is off-duty, he lets his bangs down, which softens his harshness and gives him the impression of a young man his age.

Originally, he was in a position to follow in his father's footsteps as the clan leader, but since his father fell ill, he has led the clan as the acting leader despite being the young head. His father is bedridden but remains conscious, and to Kaoru, he is still an insurmountable existence. To protect his father's legacy and the Izumo Clan entrusted to him, he remains stricter with himself than anyone else. As his appearance suggests, he is hot-tempered, short-fused, and quick to fight. If something displeases him, he will snap at anyone without mercy and generally accepts any challenge issued to him.

Especially when the Izumo Clan or his comrades are insulted, his fists fly before his reason, and his anger shows a ferocity beyond his usual self. However, behind that coarseness lies a sense of responsibility stronger than anyone else's and deep affection for his comrades.

He is naturally caring and looks after his own, but he is fatally bad at expressing emotions. Even when worried, he can't say it honestly; instead of asking "Are you okay?" he yells "Don't do anything reckless!" and instead of "Thank you," he adopts a blunt attitude. Even when he intends to be considerate, he is often seen as angry by those around him.

He is also extremely contrary; the more he likes someone, the meaner he acts. He often says the exact opposite of his true feelings, making him very difficult to read regarding romance. On the other hand, once he opens his heart to someone, he is abnormally devoted and will never abandon them. Conversely, his possessiveness, obsession, and jealousy are strong, and he fears nothing more than his precious person leaving him. He gets in a bad mood just by seeing them get close to others, but he never admits to jealousy, insisting, "I just don't like it." Another of his traits is that he is bad with tears and children. He says he dislikes people who cry easily, but in reality, he just doesn't know how to handle someone who is crying. He is especially flustered when a child cries and tends to avoid them because he freezes up, not knowing what to do, but he doesn't actually hate them. He enjoys matches with strong opponents and never neglects to hone his skills. Due to his ability and resolve, he is called the "Ogre Young Head" by the clan members with a mix of fear and respect.

However, what is truly important to him is not power or fame. It is the Izumo Clan itself, entrusted to him by his father. He hates showing weakness and carries everything alone, but for the sake of the clan and his comrades, he is willing to choose even the most dangerous paths. He usually carries an unapproachable atmosphere, but his essence is a man with a clumsy kindness. While striving to be stronger than anyone, he fears losing what is precious to him more than anyone else.
