Now Viewing: matoi_isshinTag type: Character The deceased father of Matoi_Ryuuko whose demise kicks off Kill_La_Kill's conflict. He is an old man with a white beard and an eyepatch and dresses in a white lab coat and sandals. He is a brilliant scientist who invented Senketsu and is famed for his research on Kamui and Life Fibers. He earned lot of money thanks to his work and lived in a large house with Ryuuko. Despite the financial support he gave to his daughter, he spent so much time on his work that he neglected Ryuuko causing Ryuuko to spend most of her time alone and paving the way for her to become a delinquent. The two of them were never able to grow closer to each other as he is murdered when Ryuuko is 17 years old though he is able to prevent Ryuuko from being killed as well. He also invented the scissor blade that Ryuuko uses as her main weapon and which was used to kill him. As Ryuuko pursues her quest for vengeance, she gradually learns more about her father. He is also acquainted with Mikisugi_Aikurou who is the one to introduce Senketsu to Ryuuko. Isshin was also the founder of the Kiryuuin resistance group Nudist Beach which is why the two men know of each other and also why Aikurou knows where Senketsu is. Although the two men were associated with each other, there are still many things that Isshin did not tell Aikurou such as the fact that Matoi Isshin is really Kiryuuin Souichirou after undergoing plastic surgery to change his appearance and completely changing his body posture to give himself the appearance of an old man. Along with his wife, he is responsible for infusing Ryuuko's body with life fibers but unlike his wife, he felt guilt over conducting experiments on his daughter and was enraged by his wife's lack of empathy when Ryuuko apparently died. He betrayed Ragyou, faked his first 'death' and founded Nudist Beach with the money he earned from his research under a new identity. Before he left, he also told Satsuki the truth about her mother inspiring her to begin planning her own rebellion. Isshin also did his best to protect Ryuuko in his own way and deliberately designed Senketsu so that only Ryuuko can truly wear him. Before he died, he had something important that he wanted to tell Ryuuko, but Ryuuko is distracted by his murderer and his house is then destroyed in an explosion with him still in it. His theme song is the melancholic "I Want to Know," performed by Benjamin Anderson. The lyrics represent the feelings that Isshin was regrettably never able to properly express to his daughter. Despite his brilliance as a researcher, he is very uncreative when it comes to names as he tends to give names that describe something in a self-explanatory fashion. He is voiced by Arimoto_Kinryuu.
