History and Personality: A doctor with TERRA, he is also the adopted brother of Quon. Although most people do not know, he is actually a Mulian and Ayato's twin brother, and his adoptive "sister's" biological son. Like Megumi, he feels inferior to his sibling. He is unable to pilot the RahXephon and he once dated Haruka, but Haruka now rejects him. He was raised in the Bahbem Institute with Makoto Isshiki and Helena Bahbem. Like Ayato and Quon, he bears the marks of a potential instrumentalist on his belly.
At the end of the series Itsuki is killed by Sayoko in a crazy outburst. During his last dying breath Itsuki becomes delusional and sees Sayoko as Quon. Later we're shown a little tidbit of him holding hands with Sayoko, though most likely he held it because he thought Sayoko was Quon. In the apparent 'after-life' where Ayato, Haruka, Maya, and Quon were working out some inner turmoil we see that Itsuki approaches Quon through the phone and wishes to be with her. They later meet face to face in the classroom where Ayato and Haruka first kissed and exchanged a few words. We are sort of hinted that Itsuki will be with Quon after the tuning... but we're not told clearly how.
Itsuki is intelligent and can be very gentle and kind, but in general he is somewhat unfeeling and cold toward others dealing with them as positions or jobs and not as actual living people. He is generally very even tempered and easy going, with a ready smile. While he can be very social he also tends to get lost in his own complex thoughts and ignore others. He is very observant, but tends not to recognize the more human elements of situations - such as other people's emotions. Very occasionally he shows deep emotion, generally in connection to either Haruka or Quon.
Relationships: Itsuki is Ayato's twin ,but the two did not meet until Ayato was brought to TERRA. Though Itsuki feels inferior to Ayato, and sometimes envious (both because of Haruka's feelings and because he feels Ayato may be a better person) he treats him with kindness and respect. He does not reveal to Ayato that they are brothers.
Itsuki met Haruka in college and fell in love with her. They dated and she broke it off. It is likely that she dated him primarily because he reminded her of Ayato. He is still very much in love with her, but she only considers him a friend.
Itsuki's assistant, Sayoko, is very much in love with him, but he pays her very little notice. While he is not rude or cruel to her he is only "nice" to her when he wants something, and he uses her several times without her knowledge - at least once putting her in serious danger. After that he is more considerate of her, but still tends to treat her as just a subordinate.
Itsuki is "friends" with Makoto, though Makoto claims that he is cold. When they were younger he allowed Makoto to talk him into things, but now he rarely follows anyone. However, despite the apparent reserve that has entered their relationship he still spends time with Makoto outside of work - which is rare for him.
Itsuki is Quon's guardian and they claim to be brother and sister by adoption. However, his feelings for her evidently run much deeper than fraternal love. He is constantly worried about her safety and well being and is saddened by her fate. For a long time he is too blinded by his feelings for Haruka to realize his feelings for Quon. But in the end he figures out that he loves Quon in a romantic sense. She reveals that she is in love with him as well.
Why we love him: He's so...sad, even when he smiles. He tries so hard and yet he can never live up to the standard he has set for himself - to be as good and talented as he thinks his brother is... You just want to yell at him to wake up! And then hug him ^_^ And of course he looks good which is always a bonus.
