Kuki Urie

Urie often displays himself as a cool-headed individual, holding a monotonous facial expression the majority of the time. As a ghoul investigator, he appears to be very dedicated and stern about his work, to the point where it may seem as though he is ruthlessly slaughtering more ghouls than necessary, which is a habit he often gets berated for.

Urie also tends to be quite hasty when investigating the slightest details or signs of a suspect. At the beginning of the series, he had a tendency to execute mission objectives independently, without awaiting the arrival of his fellow teammates, or even requesting their help.

This is because he is an ambitious person, and does not wish to share credit with others, as he merely wishes to achieve higher ranks as a ghoul investigator.

To achieve his personal goals, he is willing to go as far as manipulating his comrades or cause discord within the team. However, beneath his ambition and cool-headed demeanor is an insatiable jealousy towards his superiors, particularly Sasaki. He harbors a sense of inferiority and as a result, an intense hatred for those around him.

He feels that he is in Sasaki's way and that the world has treated him unfairly; despite losing his father and being the top of his class, he cannot achieve anything no matter how hard he tries. Urie believes that ghouls, under any circumstance, must cease to exist. He also believes that as an investigator, he must never retreat and will fight on even if he has to strain himself. This belief stems from the fact that his late father, a Special Class investigator in charge of the S3 squad, ordered his team members to retreat while he stayed to fight the One-Eyed Owl, resulting in his death.

He also holds a grudge against Iwao Kuroiwa (and by extension his son, Takeomi Kuroiwa) for not fighting by his father's side during the Owl battle. Urie thinks that the Kuroiwas are inconsiderate concerning his loss and he refuses to forgive them. Later on, Urie begins to lower his guard around his teammates and slowly becomes a more receptive person. Although still rash and manipulative, he is more willing to work in a team and show concern for his squad and mentor.

After Shirazu is fatally wounded, he drops all pretenses of a cool-headed and disgruntled persona, willingly showing his vulnerable side in front of his team for the first time. After Shirazu succumbs to his injuries, he was so overcome with grief that he remained by the body even when Matsuri Washuu announced that the One-Eyed Owl was on the roof and ordered Urie to follow him.

Urie also openly displayed disgust towards Matsuri's dismissive attitude despite him being his superior. After the Tsukiyama Operation, Urie changes significantly and he softens up a bit. He becomes especially close with the remaining first generation Qs, becoming especially concerned if their lives were at stake, not wanting to lose another friend like Shirazu.

He treats his new squad members fairly well, although he shows disdain towards Higemaru. Urie retains his ambition to rise through the ranks of the CCG, but is no longer driven mostly by selfish reasons.

Appearance: Urie is a slender young man of average height, with purple hair styled into an undercut and dark triangular eyes with unique diamond-shaped irises. Urie also has two distinct moles below his left eye. He usually wears his CCG uniform consisting of the formal suit , black shirt and tie, along with a white trench coat pulled over when a mission beckons. He is also seen wearing black gloves. Aside from this attire, Urie is often wearing earphones. Like most ghoul investigators, he occasionally carries a briefcase with him.
