Itsuki Kurogane

Itsuki Kurogane is the current head of the Kurogane Family and the current branch chief of the International Federation of Mage Knight-Japan Branch.

Appearance
Itsuki looks exactly like his son Ikki Kurogane, albeit a bit older, showing so with lines going down the sides of his nose, as it would naturally come with age. He has long black wild hair that is combed back, although the back of his hairs are spiked up, as well as covering some of his ears. Itsuki has been seen wearing an attire of a business man, being seen wearing a black business suit, couple with a white collared dress shirt, and a black tie.

Personality
Itsuki is shown to be very cold hearted, as shown when he literally exiled Ikki from the family, even going as far as to use his power and make his own son into a failure, forcing Hagun Academy to not allow Ikki to take classes which ultimately makes him fail school.

He is also shown to be a very prideful man, as he takes great pride in his family name, and makes sure that nothing hurts the name, as he forced Ikki to fail, all to protect the family name, not wanting Ikki, a F rank of the family, to be known in the world.

History
When Ikki was five years old, Itsuki gave the F-Rank Ikki, an order to not do anything to prevent shaming the family name, he even tells him to just give up, as he will never amount to anything. After Ikki left the house, Itsuki used his position to forced Hagun Academy to fail Ikki, by not allowing him to take classes, and make him repeat a year.

Incident of Okutama
Itsuki was seen sitting inside his office complaining about Shizuku losing the Selection Battle and loathing the fact that Ikki might appear in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival until Akaza appears and make a proposal to him.

Itsuki was then seen at a holding cell, where the knight committee was holding Ikki. Itsuki talked with his son and explained why he and Ikki's relationship was like it is. Itsuki explained that he didn't hate or was disappointed with Ikki, it was simply that he didn't believe in Ikki and that he shouldn't have any expectations, causing Ikki to cry.
