In contrast to the Ishikawa diagram in which all causes of a problem are assumed to be hierarchically decomposable, the relations diagram promotes discovery of relationship among causes.
Ishikawa diagrams are arranged hierarchically, that is, there is a main node, subnodes, and subnodes of the subnodes, and so forth.
The relations diagram and the Ishikawa diagram are identical if the structure of either graph does not permit crossovers between the hierarchically organized structures.

Ishikawa Diagrams (fishbone or cause-and-effect diagrams) are a means of deriving and expressing causes of an issue.
KJ (Kawakita Jiro) Diagrams (or affinity diagrams) are used to associate ideas into groups.
Thus these three tools can be used in risk evaluation; firstly brainstormed ideas/causes/risks can be grouped using affinity diagrams, then ishikawa diagrams can relate and structure these points (typically affinity sets are used for root causes), with belief scores (backed up by available data) to score various groups of causes.
