Notes

• Izuchi’s name may come from Iizuna (イイズナ) the Japanese name for the Least weasel and itachi (kanji: 鼬 / kana: イタチ) meaning "weasel" in Japanese.
  • The name also references Izuna (イズナ) the name given for a variant of Kamaitachi in Naichi, which drink blood from the cuts they made from their prey, thus said cuts would be seen without bleeding.
• Izuchi is based on the Kamaitachi yokai from Japanese folklore.
