At what point was there any indication that Izayoi wouldn't appear in BB4? Because I don't remember anything anywhere indicating that it wouldn't. I doubt they would just toss it aside after introducing it.

So stop speculating, and please, use common sense when starting a question thread. Unless there would be a creditable reason for a character not to return (Terumi getting Time Killer'd for example, and even then they may go for Story and Gameplay segregation and have him playable anyway if he's actually dead), then there would be no reason for them to get cut, from either the story or from the game.
