His hatred for Zero only festered, so much so that he tossed to Shizuka a sword with which to kill Zero. In his pain, his confusion, and his anger, Ichiru connected with Shizuka.Īfter the death of his parents, Ichiru became a loyal servant to Shizuka and hid his survival from his brother. After hearing what his parents said, Ichiru ran outside and met a crying Shizuka Hio, who sat in a tree mourning her dead lover. Though Zero loved his brother very much, Ichiru began to resent Zero and his parents. One night, he overheard his parents saying that they did not know what to do with Ichiru because he was not suited to be a fighter, not like Zero.

Zero Kiryu's twin brother Ichiru Kiryu was, too, trained by Toga Yagari to be a Vampire Hunter like his parents.
