When I watch the anime I get excited by Koro-Sensei's new student, Itona. He
has many similarities with koro-sensei. So, my question is: why do they look
different? Koro-sensei is like an octopus and Itona is like a human.

Why is Koro-sensei's sibling Itona not like him?


Itona isn't a relation of Koro-sensei.

I presume the similarities lie in the tentacles. Itona's powers are
manufactured by scientists, wheras Koro-sensei is an octopus alien.

As @Toshinou Kyouko explained, Itona and Korosensei aren't actually related.

Koro-sensei was...

Itona is considered being Koro-sensei's brother because...

> ... he received his tentacles from the same scientists who experimented on
> Koro-sensei. His powers are inherited from Koro-sensei.

As for why they don't look alike:

Koro-sensei and Itona are not blood related at all, it's the tentacles that
make them both fall in the same category "family".

This brother relationship was first mentioned by the official guardian, as to
make Itona confused about his relationship with Koro-sensei. He intended to
kill Koro-sensei with the help of an enraged Itona, but as obviously failed.

Koro sensei was actually human once , he was formerly the reaper before his
apprentice turned him in and stole his name, he was then experimented on by
shiro and grew the tentacles after escaping the facility and killing his best
friend and destroying the facility.
