The spy manga "The Great Yozakura Family," currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since April 2024, will be adapted into an anime. This slapstick spy action story follows an ordinary man who, due to unavoidable circumstances, marries into the Yozakura family, a powerful spy family. Each member of the Yozakura family is a top-notch spy with a unique personality and a wide range of abilities. This time, we'd like to introduce the members of the Yozakura family!
Yozakura Kyoichiro, the Eldest Son of the Yozakura Family and the Ultimate Siscon Spy
The eldest son of the Yozakura family. He is a known figure in the espionage industry, and is the strongest spy with extraordinary abilities in both combat and intelligence. He can freely manipulate special steel wire called "Hagane Spider," using it for a variety of purposes including attack, defense, restraint, and torture. His strength is so great that even his entire family cannot defeat him, making him one of the strongest characters in the series. However, he is also a good-for-nothing with flaws in his personality, and his obsession with his younger sister, Yozakura Mutsumi, is so pathological that it could be called abnormal, and his sister complex is beyond the pale.
A siscon so strong it's shocking
He is pathologically doting on Yozakura Mutsumi, the third daughter of the Yozakura family, to the point of sneaking into her class as her homeroom teacher. He also sees Mutsumi's childhood friend, Asano Taiyo, as a pest who is targeting Mutsumi, and eventually resorts to violent crime. However, the Yozakura family's rule of not laying hands on family members ironically led to Taiyo's marriage to Mutsumi. The reason she is so attached to Mutsumi is not only because she is Yozakura's most important family head, but also because she feels guilty for failing to save Mutsumi and causing great pain in the past.
Yozakura Niha, the eldest daughter of the Yozakura family and a gothic lolita spy skilled in hand-to-hand combat
The eldest daughter of the Yozakura family. Petite and childlike, she wears gothic lolita fashion. Although she looks like a child, she is actually the eldest child of the family, succeeding Kyoichiro. Perhaps because Kyoichiro has a bad personality, she is a conscientious and reliable person who effectively manages the family. She is also a skilled spy, a master of the Yozakura-style "Shidare Kumite" martial arts technique, and a specialist in hand-to-hand combat. Even Kyoichiro, the strongest spy, has a 100% win rate in grappling situations.
She's not good with IT and horror
The eldest daughter is surprisingly reliable and dependable, despite her appearance. She was the one who took the initiative to stop Kyoichiro's violent acts and proposed marriage to Taiyo and Mutsumi, making her an important figure in the family. However, she has an extreme fear of horror, such as ghosts and curses, and once she gets involved with them, she becomes a shadow of her usual reliable self. He's also not good with IT devices and can't even type on a keyboard.
Yozakura Karazo, the second son of the Yozakura family: A cowardly man who can use any weapon.
The second son of the Yozakura family. He is a large, muscular man. He is a weapons specialist, and even as a child, he became one with his weapons and only slept with a magnum bullet pacifier. He carries a large arsenal of weapons during missions and makes the most of them to accomplish his missions. Despite his appearance, he is extremely timid and a crybaby. He usually stays confined to his trash can tank, "No. 3," and always carries his weapon with him when he goes out.
He quickly becomes weak when he runs out of weapons
He is uneasy if he doesn't always carry a weapon, and if he runs out of weapons, he becomes weak and weak. However, he has particularly strong physical strength among the Yozakura family, and he also has a skillful side, being able to use anything that can be used as a weapon. Although he is timid, he has a kind and caring personality, and becomes weak when his family is taken hostage or when he is confronted by his family.
Yozakura Family's Second Daughter, Super Hacker Yozakura Shion
The second daughter of the Yozakura family. She has pink hair and a bob cut. She has a lazy and sloppy personality, always looking listless, and her spy style makes her a bit of a recluse. She is skilled with machines in general and possesses advanced hacking skills, making her the Yozakura family's electronic warfare specialist. She is also a gamer (especially a crappy game hunter), and uses her tactics to neutralize target systems by converting them into games and brutally killing enemy characters modeled after Kyoichiro. In physical combat, she controls a large number of drones as an attacking method.
A girl with a girly side
Shion is lazy, clumsy, always wearing off-the-shoulder clothes, and a bit of a downer. However, she also has a surprisingly girly side. She treasures the items she receives in-game from a male spy she knows, and as soon as she meets that boy in real life, she starts paying attention to her outfit. Perhaps these aspects were appreciated, as she won first place in the first popularity poll.
Yozakura Family's Third Son: The Super-Free-spirited Spy, Yozakura Iyago
The third son of the Yozakura family. He's usually seen wearing a cat-eared hoodie. He has a cheerful personality and is an extremely free-spirited person who goes at his own pace. Even as a spy, he has a policy of never taking on work he doesn't like, and will do anything for fun. He's a master of disguise, perfectly replicating appearance, voice, scent, and physique. When he disguises himself as Mutsumi to deceive Kyoichiro, he relentlessly insults him, to the point that Kyoichiro is deeply affected, even knowing that he's in disguise. He is also capable of perfectly disguising himself in appearance, even to strangers.
A Spy Popular with Women
Due to his charm, he is extremely popular with women in the series, having won first place in the "Ranking of the Most Cool and Adorable Spies" and "Ranking of the Most Heart-Striking Spies" for three consecutive years, demonstrating his large female fanbase in the espionage industry. He also came in second place in a popularity poll conducted within the series, after Yozakura Shion, making him a highly popular character both in and outside of the series.
Yozakura Mutsumi, the third daughter of the Yozakura family, the heroine of this work, and head of the family.
The third daughter of the Yozakura family. She is childhood friends with the protagonist, Asano Taiyo, and the heroine of this work. She is a kind-hearted childhood friend who devotedly supported Taiyo after he lost his family in an accident. However, when Kyoichiro Yozakura, the strongest spy and most dangerous sister complex, attempts to assassinate Taiyo, she ends up marrying him. While most people born into the Yozakura family are superhumans with various talents and strengths, Mutsumi is an ordinary person with no particular abilities.
10th Head of the Yozakura Family
Normal people born into the Yozakura family carry a strong bloodline. Because children born to normal people are almost always superhumans, they are the most important members of the Yozakura family, and it is decided that the normal person born will become the next head of the family. Because of the strong bloodline, they are targeted by various parties, and the superhuman family protects the normal head. As a result, she is a central figure in the family and is loved by everyone. In the most recent episode, she officially married Taiyo and became the mother of two children.
The Fourth Son of the Yozakura Family: The Kind-Hearted Resident Evil, Yozakura Nanaku
The youngest child of the Yozakura family. He stands about three meters tall and is characterized by the way he wears a bucket over his head. He is a specialist in medicine and pharmacy, and possesses an extremely powerful immune system. This allows him to analyze poisons by ingesting them and utilize his constitution to strengthen his body. He is the only member of the Yozakura family younger than Taiyo. He has a kind personality and generally dislikes conflict, so he looks up to Taiyo like a real brother.
Was his original form a small boy?
His original form is a small boy with one black heterochromatic eye. However, his ability seems difficult to control, and his body frequently undergoes grotesque transformations reminiscent of Resident Evil boss characters. This makes it difficult for him to maintain his original form, and he usually lives in a slightly mutated state that stabilizes his body. He suppresses the mutations by administering stronger drugs when attending school.
