She seems to be nervous, along with everyone else, to tell Kouichi about the class' curse after Sakuragi's death. She blames herself for not telling him about it. In Episode 4, while arguing with Teshigawara, they hear a huge crash through Kouichi's cell phone. She holds a grudge against Mei and Kouichi for ignoring the rules and turning the countermeasures useless, causing the deaths to continue. In Episode 7,after she witness Kubodera-Sensei's death, she confronted Kouichi and the other on the rooftop. Later on,Izumi meet up with Kouichi,Teshigawara and Mochizuki in Inoya Cafe for further discussion regarding Class 3 issue. They acquired information about Katsumi Matsunaga and decided to look for him for help to solve the calamity in class 3. In Episode 8, the team went out of Yomiyama to look for Matsunaga and they had fun at the beach while waiting for Matsunaga's call. At the end of the episode, they witness Junta Nakao's death on shore. In Episode 9 after Nakao's funeral she walks Takako Sugiura, who is still in shock after the events, home after giving Mei a stern glare.

Yukari Sakuragi
Izumi and Yukari were shown to be good friends since they were young. In the manga, Izumi cared a lot about Yukari and she blames Kouichi and Mei for Yukari's death as they ignored the class rules, causing the calamity to happen. She was seen in one of the chapters crying for Yukari to save her as she does not want to die. Also in the manga, a picture of her and Yukari is shown on her desk.

Kouichi Sakakibara
Izumi first seems intrigued by Kouichi as she feels that they have met before. Izumi had held suspiscions that Kouichi was the dead student at one piont. When informed of Kouichi asking about Mei Misaki, she vaguely warns him and shows signs of beginning to dislike him. After Yukari Sakuragi's death and being appointed Class Officer, she puts forward a motion to ignore Kouichi as the class ignores Mei but apologizes to Kouichi beforehand for her decision (although he was unaware of what exactly she was apologizing for at the time).

Teshigawara
Izumi, after hearing of Teshigawara's promises to explain the history of Class 3 to Kouichi without her permission gives off the impression that she sees him as an idiot. Izumni also does not seem to return his feelings towards him and views him as annoying.

Mei Misaki
Prior to episode 9, Izumi seemed moreorless indifferent to Mei although it is not exactly known how she truly feels about her due to Mei being the "non-existent" student. As of episode 9, Izumi appears to dislike Mei, possibly because she blames Mei for starting the calamity. The reason for this being is that Izumi may believe that Mei could have resisted Kouichi's attempts to talk to her, but didn't.

Kazuma Akazawa
Kazuma Akazawa is Izumi's older brother. Her brother is mentally unstable and often locks himself in his room. He is yet to make an appearance in the anime although his name was seen in a class list of 1996. At chapter 17 of the manga, her brother commits suicide by hanging himself in his room.
