Because They Have a Slow Start

[spoiler='Lore']3 Level 4 Beast-Warrior-Type "Bujin" monsters
You can also Xyz Summon this card using 1 face-up Attack Position "Bujin" Beast-Warrior-Type monster you control. When this card is Xyz Summoned: Send 3 "Bujin" monsters with different names from your Deck to the Graveyard. You can target 1 "Bujin" monster in your Graveyard, then detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Special Summon that target in face-up Attack Position. You can only use each effect of "Bujin Izanagi" once per turn. You can only control 1 "Bujintei Izanagi".[/spoiler]

Bujins tend to get off on a slow start with and without Yamato, in terms of dumping Bujingi to the Graveyard. And that's what usually leads to their loss. So, I made Izanagi. His purpose is to be used early game, when you have a Bujin that tends to have no purpose the first turn, like Arasuda. You can Xyz Summon Izanagi using that monster and fill up the Graveyard with 3 different Bujingis/Bujins (So you can't mill 3 Turtles, or 3 Hares for protection and what not) that would help you maintain the field. Of course, he's also very useful later in the game, when you need a beater. You can Special Summon Izanagi, and use his second effect to revive the other Bujins, using them as Xyz Material or just a simple attacker. Also, I made each of his effects be able to be used only once per turn, so no Special Summoning multiple Bujins for an OTK and no milling 9 cards the first turn. 

 

[spoiler='Flavor']I chose the picture because it had the colors Red, Blue, and Yellow on it, which represent Yamato, Mikazuchi, and Arasuda respectively. It also looks kind of like a Bujin, mostly Susanowo. The reason it needs 3 materials is because I thought that an alternate end to the conflict of the Bujins, Susanowo had to fuse with Kagutsuchi and Tsukuyomi to defeat Amaterasu, ultimately becoming Izanagi. Izanagi's effect to Special Summon a monster was referring to him creating Susanowo, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi when he cleansed his face. And, of course, to fit the Bujin theme, you can only control 1 of him.[/spoiler]

1.) Why would you ever use 3 Level 4 Beast-Warrior Monster if you can just summon him with 1?

2.) And (if I'm correct on the last effect) you can summon Yamato, summon this, drop 3 monsters, detach, summon Yamato. You would have 2 Beast-Warrior Bujins on the field and (with Yamato's effect) 4 Bujins in the grave. With only 1 card.

The same reason anyone would ever summon a Number C monster with the actual materials; you shouldn't. It was designed to be used only on 1 Bujin Beast-Warrior.

I see your point. Changing it so that it targets first then detaches.

Ah ok, that makes sense. 

 

 

Now that my questions have been answered: Actually I think it's a pretty good card and the artwork is really amazing. I would definitely play it.

Since Izanagi is to the Shinto gods what Zeus is to the Greece/Roman gods shouldn't he be the strongest of them all? Currently the strongest Bujin is Amaterasu with 2600 ATK so maybe Izanagi should have 2700-3000 ATK. Also, if you plan to make Izanami as well I think she should be roughly as strong as Izanagi since they are siblings as well as Izanagi being the god of life and Izanami being the goddess of death.
