THE KOZUKIS
Kozuki Tsukasa {Tsu-bo, Tsuka-chan} (14):
Has been raised as a boy but is actually a girl. It was her mother's wish to be strong and not to lose to boys in a city where women lived in fear. She's very naive, good at fighting and hates 2 things -- rapists and yakuza, but when it comes to Ryuji...well things can be different. She has a good sense of smell (especially for money and crime). Is in debt to Ryuji, and is now his bodyguard in an attempt to pay it off. Regularly transforms into other guys, gals and animals... Looks like a mature woman when she dresses like a girl... Her main weapon is a chain which she keeps in a pouch at her waist. Don't ask why but in colour pictures, her hair is usually purplish-black and her eyes are purple. Is good at taking charge in a crisis situation. Has a complicated past with deep ties to the yakuza who she hated so much... and while she wanted to escape from that reality, lately, she's been standing up to her true roots.
Kozuki Takuma {Taku, Taku-nii} (16):
Tsukasa's older brother. He's not too happy about his sister being friends with Ryuji. Dropped out of school to help with family expenses. Works as a dealer at a casino. Very reliable and is family oriented. Friend of Onda. Highly recommends Akira as a boyfriend to Tsukasa... Knows a deep dark secret about Garyukai and is trying to prevent Tsukasa from being involved with them. Will forever act as big brother towards Tsukasa even if they're not blood relatives.
Kozuki Toshiyuki {Toshi} (14):
Tsukasa's twin brother, although in the first story, he was introduced as Sho's twin. He's the younger twin and has no problem with Tsukasa getting along with Sandaime. Works as a host of a gay bar. Has medium dark hair. Still cares for his sister though he learns the truth.
Kozuki Shohei {Sho} (13):
Tsukasa's youngest brother. The cutest and probably the most spoiled. He too wouldn't mind seeing his sister getting together with Ryuji. Also works as a host of a gay bar. Has light coloured hair. Does not plan on abandoning Tsukasa, even if things aren't so pretty...
Kozuki Yutaka:
The father of the 4 Kozukis and the person that Kise Akira admired. Was a member of the police special task force known as GRAVE that dealt with the rising crime. Was killed while chasing Hizakigumi while off duty, a few days after Ryuji's father was killed. The one who trained Tsukasa when she was little. Had a strong sense of justice. The inventor of Tsuaksa's protector. He knew Ayabe Wakasa and even called her "Waka-chan".
Kozuki Ikumi:
The mother of the 4 Kozukis and the one who decided to raise Tsukasa as a boy rather than as a girl. Also a member of the police special task force GRAVE. Was killed while investigating Hizakigumi. Has orange hair (!!?). Was entrusted some deep secret of Garyukai plus... see episode no. 66 for details. Seems to have had contact with Wakasa. Had a strong sense of justice. Taught Tsukasa to be strong.
