| ~ Kōyō stating her belief the Port Mafia is the only place for Kyouka Izumi. |
Kōyō Ozaki is a member of the Port Mafia and a supporting antagonist in the manga and anime series Bungo Stray Dogs. She acts as the maternal figure for Kyōka Izumi and is one of the major mafiosi that tries to stop Kyouka's abduction. She is a direct reference to the Japanese author of the same pen name.
She is voiced by Ami Koshimizu in Japanese and Cindy Robinson in English.
Personality[]
Kōyō Ozaki is generally displayed as cold, mature, and serious. Despite this, it isn't rare for her to smile, especially when she gains the upper hand in combat. This could mean she has a sadistic side, but she could also just be indifferent to violence.
She has a hatred of "the light" for its influence on Kyōka Izumi. She believes that Kyōka can only function as a cold-blooded assassin, as both of their special abilities are extremely effective at killing but fails to have many nonlethal applications. Hence, she belongs in the Port Mafia and not the Armed Detective Agency.
Although a high-ranking member of the Port Mafia, she has limited loyalty to the mafia. She held a grudge against the previous mafia leader but holds no such grudge against Ōgai Mori. She cares deeply for Kyōka Izumi but is overprotective to the point of psychologically tormenting her into submission as to keep her away from "the light" of the Armed Detective Agency. The appeal of doing good deeds would draw Kyouka into a life of misery.
She has a deep hate for those that take Kyouka away from her, including Atsushi who Kyouka had grown fond of. She has proclaimed she would kill everyone involved in the abduction of Kyouka.
Claiming this to be only for Kyōka's well-being, Kōyō projects her frustrations with life onto Kyōka. It takes Dazai's input for Kōyō to finally stop obsessing over Kyōka's defection and let the girl grow and think for herself. Nonetheless, Kōyō's attachment to Kyōka drives her to intercept a Special Division for Unusual Powers armed transport vehicle – leaking the true events of Kyōka's past to the girl – and later makes a point of never physically harming Kyōka during the Cannibalism operation. This careful mindset extends somewhat to other detectives, however, Kōyō only states that she dislikes the thought of harming Kyōka's friends.
History[]
Kōyō Ozaki has been in the Port Mafia since she was a teenager. When she was young, she tried to run away from the mafia with a man she admired. The mafia, however, captured them and killed the man. Kouyou held a grudge against the current leader of the mafia but was willing to comply with Ōgai Mori when he took the position as the leader of the mafia.
She eventually became an executive of the mafia. When Kyōka Izumi, a girl with a nearly identical quirk to Kōyō, was taken in, Kōyō took the job as being her acting guardian and mentor. Kouyou related to Kyōka, having the same powers and having a similarly tragic past, and started caring for her deeply.
When Kyōka defected, Kouyou eventually tracked her down while she was hanging out with Atsushi. Kouyou brought a set of minor mafia agents and planned on taking in Kyōka forcefully, threatening the life of Atsushi. The fight was going relatively well when the Armed Detective Agency members, Kenji and Kunikada intercepted the fight. They had a standoff when, yet another faction showed up: The Guild. The Guild badly wounded everyone in both the Port Mafia and the Armed Detective agency instantly. The Armed Detective Agency backup arrived before the Port Mafia's backup, so they abducted Kouyou as a prisoner of war.
Abilities[]
- Golden Demon: A large, sword-wielding phantom with great strength and speed that she can summon and control. It is almost identical to Kyōka Izumi's ability, however, unlike Kyōka, Kouyou can control it directly.
