Director Kakuzawa

Director Kakuzawa is the main antagonist of Elfen Lied.

He is the head of the Diclonius Research Institute, at 70 years old performing experiments on Diclonius. He is believes he is from a long line of Diclonius ancestry that has been watered down by inter-breeding with humans (However it is only revealed in the manga). As a result, he has no vectors and much smaller horns on his head though h he hides them under a wig. His and his son's goal is to replenish their bloodline with the Diclonii they are experimenting on (of which Lucy is the first to be able to reproduce) and thus gain power as "Kings" of the new race, which would proceede to wipe out humanity and replace it entirely as the world dominate race.

In the manga, he even claims to desire the position of a God of the new, Diclonius-ruled world he envisions. He is also the father of Anna Kakuzawa, professor Kakuzawa and Lucy's Diclonius half-brother. Even after revealing to Lucy all his plots to terminate mankind and to fill the world with Diclonius, he is decapitated by Lucy along with his Diclonius son. She then decides to reveals that he is not a Diclonius after all, and that his horns were the result of an unrelated mutation. In the anime, he is not killed and continues with his plans.
