The Itsu monsters are a series of four monsters that focus on "Aitsu" and "Soitsu", as well as their union counterparts "Koitsu" and "Doitsu". These monsters are from Sexy Parodius, a Konami game that parodies Gradius. The description of the first two mentioned say they are unreliable. With the fact that the cards are more than useless alone, players may become confused when they have only one, primarily Aitsu (which has 100 ATK and requires tribute) and will sometimes throw them aside.
When translated, the names "Koitsu", "Soitsu", "Aitsu" and "Doitsu" mean "This Guy", "That Guy", "That Other Guy" and "Which Guy?" respectively. The names are whimsical, and are not meant to be taken literally. To keep the flavor, a more appropriate translation might be "Eeney", "Meeney", "Miney", and "Moe".
Appearance
The Itsu monsters appear as men of various solid colors flying on a paper airplane. Each is sitting in a different position upon his (or whatever they are) airplane. "Soitsu" stands in a heroic pose, "Koitsu" stands on one hand in an acrobatic position, "Doitsu" sits cross-legged eating noodles, and "Aitsu" looks away from the view point in a philosophical gaze. Each is one of the primary colors (except "Soitsu"), though "Doitsu" is arguably tan. The four also appear on a few cards such as "A-Team: Trap Disposal Unit", "Fossil Excavation", "Fossil Dig", and "Gravity Collapse".
Strategies
They have no support, but many combinations can help get them all out quick. "Koitsu" requires 2 tributes, but with "Foolish Burial" and "Call of the Haunted" or "Limit Reverse", you can summon him easily. "Aitsu" can be brought out with "Mausoleum of the Emperor" for only 1000 life points; alternatively, "Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen" or "Celestial Transformation" can be used. Also, because they all have low ATK, Elemental Searchers can be used to Special Summon them from your deck.
It is also helpful to defend them with traps such as "Threatening Roar" or "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow". "Machina Peacekeeper", "Roll Out!", and some other Union support will help. It is possible to use the fact that they are all "Fairy" type to your advantage, as well as their low individual stats, which make them all compatible with Limit Reverse. Since they are 4 monsters in all, this can also open up great emergency defense. Because each one of them is of different Attributes, if they're all on the field, the union monsters can be de-unioned to have all 4 attributes on the field for cards like "Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan" and "Elemental Burst" for mass-destruction. Because they are only 4 monsters with no external support, it would be hard to base a deck primarily around them.
