The roman numeral represents the kakugane's serial number. There are only 100 Kakugane, from I (one) to C (one hundred). There are 29 known kakugane that are used (in Japan) in the series.
Kazuki's "LXX" kakugane is... special.
Exactly as the first answer, but there were three special Kakuganes, which were prototypes of black Kakuganes, but the three prototypes ended as a failure. The one that had to live with it lived by draining the life forces of everything around him. The black Kakugane's bearer's (also known as a Victor 1, 2 or 3 depending on his Kakugane) appearance also changes. His hair became of a glowing green, his skin turned into a burned red.
