Japanese Theorem (source:https://www.cut-the-knot.org/Curriculum/Geometry/CyclicQuadrilateral.shtml#explanation)
From $ ΔBCD, ∠BI_{BCD}C = 90° + \frac{∠BDC}{2}$
Similarly, from: $ΔABC\rightarrow ∠BI_{ABC}C = 90° + \frac{∠BAC}{2}$ $ABCD$ is cyclic: $∠BDC = ∠BAC.$
$\therefore ∠BI_{BCD}C = ∠BI_{ABC}C.$
$BI_{ABC}I_{BCD}C \rightarrow$ is cyclic.
$(1) ∠BCI_{BCD} + ∠BI_{ABC}I_{BCD} = 180^\circ$
Similarly the quadrilateral $AI_{ABD}I_{ABC}B$ is cyclic.
$(2) ∠BAI_{ABD} + ∠BI_{ABC}I_{ABD} = 180^\circ$.
From(1) and (2) $\implies ∠BI_{ABC}I_{BCD} + ∠BI_{ABC}I_{ABD} = 360^\circ \frac{∠BCD}{2} - \frac{∠BAD}{2} = 270^o\implies$
$(3) ∠I_{ABD}I_{ABC}I_{BCD} = 90°$
