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 to a variant of Kamaitachi from Aichi Prefecture, that drink blood from the cuts they make on their prey, thus said cuts would be seen without bleeding.
• Izuchi is based on the Kamaitachi yokai from Japanese folklore.
