Hizuru

Hizuru (ヒィズル) is a nation occupying a part of the eastern sea.

History
Over a hundred years ago, Hizuru was allies with the Eldian Empire. A son from the Shogun clan (that would later become the Azumabito family) had a close relationship with the Fritz family. When King Karl Fritz moved the capital of Eldia to Paradis Island, that son was invited to stay. After the Great Titan War and the Eldian Empire's collapse, Hizuru's reputation was tarnished, however. The son who stayed in the island later began the Asian clan inside the Walls.

Marley arc
A month after the Marley Mid-East War, Willy Tybur calls upon the leaders of other countries to join him for a festival in Liberio, where he would announce his solution to the problem of Titans. For the occasion, Hizuru sends at least one ambassador to attend, Kiyomi Azumabito. At a gathering on the eve of the festival, she expresses sympathy towards the Subjects of Ymir, by covering up for a Warrior cadet spilling wine over her kimono. Kiyomi then departs, leaving the cadets in awe of her benevolence.

Trivia

 * The name "Hizuru" (ヒィズル) is phonetically similar to "Hizuru-kuni" (日出ずる国), a name for which translates as "Land of the Rising Sun," referring to the nation's location in the far east of the early known world. In the context of Attack on Titan, this becomes ironic since the sun is said to rise in the west in this reality.
