Being a member of the rich Isuzu family, she works the family's traditional job as the Takayanagi family's inner guard. Two years ago, she served as Mana Kuzunoha

and other various small objects if needed. Thus to the untrained eye when she is fighting, Emi seems to be able to pull knives out of nowhere. This secret is so well kept that only a few people know: Maya and a very shocked Shirō Tagami

Emi was originally Mana's bodyguard and videotaped Shin and the school’s various top fighters. Bunshichi Tawara
, after seeing the videotape of Shin kill innocent people, decided to track down Shin. While doing so he spotted Emi videotaping him, figuring that she knew where Shin was, he confronted her. Scared after he reaches for her chest, she stabs him in the hand and a chase ensues. While Bunshichi is insisting that she hand over her body to him as payment for the damage to his hand, she grabs more of her blades and prepares to fight him. During the fight, she runs out of the way as a car driven some of the Takayanagi family’s men slams into Bunshichi, wrecking his motorcycle. As the car comes around for a second attempt to finish him off, Bunshichi's arms increase in size shredding his sleeves and he smashes the car. Later on, he uses an unconscious Emi to force a taxi to stop. Looking through her stuff, Bunshichi finds a GPS tracker and uses it to find Shin, as Mana has three trackers on him at all times.
After Bunshichi defeats Shin, Emi makes an appearance as one of Fu Chi'en
's hostages while he tries to drive Shin insane. He assaults Maya, and leaves her on the floor with ripped clothes for Shin to see. As predicted, he starts to lose it and subsequently severely injures or kills all of Fu Chien's men. Emi cuts the rope binding her and attempts to attack Fu Chien believing his defeat may return Shin to normal. Shin defeats Fu Chien, but immediately goes after Emi afterward despite the fact she was only trying to help. He pins her to the ground with her own blades and as he is about to attack again Maya calls out to Shin calming him down. Mitsuomi burst in and rushes Shin, Maya calls out to him making Shin jealous. He blasts Mitsuomi with a large quantity of ki, leading to his heart condition. Emi is very grateful to Mitsuomi for attempting to save her and the incident is the start of her attraction to him.
As Mitsuomi becomes the head of the Executive Council, Emi becomes the Vice-President.
and Madoka Mawari
because they were disrupting the order of the school. During the fight, she starts to tell Bob about all the complimentary things Mitsuomi said about him, even starting to blush when she witnesses Bob's fighting potential. Madoka proves herself to be to powerful as it takes Masataka Takayanagi
, Mitsuomi's younger brother, to step up and defeat her. During this fight Emi was injured enough to be spend time in the hospital, but not enough to lose her form in public. After being released from the hospital, she is seen sitting on a curb with Bunshichi, Masataka, and others waiting to see the outcome of Mitsuomi and Maya going to kill Sōhaku Kago

and Hirohiko Myouun Kabane
to the Executive Council's roster, after noticing what appeared to be Mitsuomi training for over a half hour (where as the real Mitsuomi would die after 3 minutes). During the Election tournament, she is seen using devious strategy to try to eliminate the Juken club. The reason for this is because she does not completely trust Bunshichi Tawara and Shinobu Kagurazaka, she also does not think that the Executive Council can win with the other members. However, Tagami, who dislike less than honorable tactics, ruins one of her plots by showing a late Masataka a shortcut to the battlefield where the Juken club is going up against the Archery Club.
Emi learns the plan to wipe out all the Red Feathers, is the reason Dōgen Takayanagi
and Mitsuomi have teamed up. While they plan to use it for different reasons, the two are working together for now. Mitsuomi seems to plan on dying while carrying out the plan, which greatly concerns Emi. She believes he was in a wheelchair earlier because he is near death, and Mitsuiro is to take his place after he dies. She becomes upset and hides behind Shiro as she cries.
As the Election tournament continues it is believed that she will become much more involved in the storyline, since according to Tessen Ishiyumi
, Tagami and Emi are Mitsuomi's "sword and spear", and along with Bob are considered by Mitsuomi to be his true wings. The last chapter reveals that Izuru is in college, but teaches at the high school.
