Shingo Izumi (泉 信吾, Izumi Shingo) is Hina's older brother and a police detective who was mortally wounded by the Kamakiri Yummy while investigating the Greeed. To save his life, he was possessed by Ankh (アンク, Anku) and his body was used as his primary vessel.
History[]
Shingo Izumi was born the first child to his parents Michiko & Hiroki Izumi and the older brother of Hina Izumi. Sometime during his adulthood, Shingo became a police officer and reached the rank of detective. When their parents died, Shingo became Hina’s guardian and caretaker.
Shingo and his partner were sent out to investigate a museum robbery, which unbeknownst to him was actually a Greeed breakout. As a result of the attacks, Shingo was mortally wounded by the Kamakiri Greeed where Ankh would begin possessing his comatose body to save his life.
Used as Ankh’s Body[]
On several occasions, Ankh would leave Shingo’s body for various reasons. In Episode 13, Ankh abandons Shingo’s body at the hospital in a fit of anger, causing him to go under the knife to save his life.
In Episode 35, Shingo begins to awaken after Ankh leaves his body. Shingo is taken to the hospital where everyone is told that he is not in a life-threatening situation. Ankh, who is wandering without a body, approaches Shingo and takes his body again.
In Episode 39, Ankh leaves Shingo’s body again after he temporarily leaves in an attempt to give Eiji his medals, but Shingo ends up getting grazed from the Shamo Yummy’s attack. Though Ankh returned to the body, he began feeling the pain. Towards the end of Episode 40, Lost Ankh attacks and absorbs Ankh, leaving Shingo.
Helping Eiji[]
As Hina and Eiji chase after Lost Ankh, Shingo awakens and meets Chiyoko. After Eiji and Hina return, Shingo reveals that he remembered everything from when Ankh began possessing him and wished to help Eiji in his fight against the Greeed. However Eiji does not want to involve the Izumi siblings anymore as they already reached their happy ending and leaves after eating dinner with them.
The next day, Gotou reports to the siblings that Eiji has begun turning into a Greeed, who noticed it during dinner the night before when Eiji couldn’t taste any of the food. The two confront Eiji and attempt to talk him out of fighting alone, but he does not listen and runs off to save people. Although Shingo understands Hina’s point, he also wants Eiji to be able to save Ankh. After convincing Hina to hold on to Eiji’s hand, Ankh is revived, but he knocks Shingo out and takes over his body once again.
In the final battle against Maki, Ankh leaves Shingo’s body and offers his final Cores to Eiji, which he uses to defeat Maki once and for all. In the epilogue, Shingo returns to active police duty.
