Kotetsu Izumi was the father of Masamune Izumi and the older brother of Kyouka Izumi. After the death of his first wife, he remarried and became the stepfather of Sagiri Izumi after marrying her mother.

It is implied that at some point during their honeymoon trip that he and Saigiri's mother died in an accident. In a brief flashback during the later half of the first episode, Masamune is shown mourning at the family alter with pictures of Kotetsu and Sagiri's mother now added next to his first wife, while Saigiri covers her ears and hides in her room.

He is briefly heard in the first episode of the anime, though his face is obscured. His face is fully shown in the eleventh episode when Masamune talks about when he first started writing.

Appearance
He has dark eyes and messy dark hair, similar to Masamune as well as some facial stubble. He is usually shown wearing a business suit or a less formal brown sports coat, tan t-shirt and blue-grey slacks

Personality
He is shown to care for his son and is usually smiling. When he noticed that his son was sad after the death of his mother, he encourages him to smile and enjoy life. After seeing how Masamune felt when he realized that he wanted to be an author, he encourages him by giving him a laptop and later helps him carry his manuscripts, noticing how confident his son had become.
