Furuta Nimura | Tokyo Ghoul

Kichimura Washuu was the primary antagonist of the Tokyo Ghoul series and the former Bureau Director of the CCG. He was involved in numerous organizations and responsible for several major events of the series of Tokyo Ghoul. He was originally Souta Washuu-Furuta, the illegitimate son of former CCG Chairman Tsuneyoshi Washuu and an agent of V raised in the Sunlit Garden. While working as a Rank 1 Ghoul Investigator, he used the alias of Nimura Furuta. To further his own agenda, he has used various identities to infiltrate organizations or build personal alliances. As a member of the Clowns, he goes by the name Souta) and was responsible for the Steel Beam Incident. He also joined the Ghoul Restaurant as PG, and has been a partner in Akihiro Kanou's ghoulification experiments. Like Ken Kaneki, he is an artificial one-eyed ghoul who possesses Rize Kamishiro's kagune. While posing as a seemingly unremarkable investigator, he was partnered with Shiki Kijima. After his superior's death, he became the partner of Haise Sasaki in order to monitor him for his superiors in V. During the Third Cochlea Raid, he used the chaos to stage a coup d'etat of the Washuu Clan with the assistance of members of the Clowns and V. He then declares himself the Washuu King, in contrast to Kaneki claiming the title of the One-Eyed King. Using the Clown Siege as a front, he successfully established himself as head of the CCG and removed Matsuri Washuu from the succession. Following the emergence of Dragon from the 24th Ward, Kichimura had resigned from his position. Age: 20 - 25 Birthday: February 29 Height: 175 cm RC Type: Rinkaku Unique States: Kakuja

Appearance:

Furuta was fairly tall and had dark, medium-length black hair that was parted on his right. A mole laid near the bottom right corner of his right eye. He wore a black overcoat on top of his suit with a bow tie, like Kijima did. He occasionally wore a trench coat with dark-colored gloves.[9] After the Clown Siege and as Bureau Director, he wore black robes with light-colored detailing.[10] He gained a large scar on the left side of his face as a result of his brief encounter with Dragon, which is covered by his hair. As the Clown Souta, he always hid his face by wearing his clown mask. He also wore a brown wig and wore a heavily padded business suit to make himself look fat and bulky to truly hide his identity, though his voice remained the same.

Personality:

At first, Furuta appeared to have a normal and quiet personality. He seemed very polite and soft-spoken, respecting of his superiors, and acted horrified when they were in danger. He was praised and highly regarded by Kijima as a talented associate, enough that he was trusted to act as bait during an ambush of Rose's hunting party. However, that was a facade used to mask his true motivations and allegiances. In truth, Furuta cared little for other investigators and would manipulate and kill them or even use them as human shields. In contrast to his previous demeanor, Furuta delighted in mocking others and often giving somewhat flippant remarks to his superiors or those he disliked. He could be quite gruesome at times as he made Shunji Shiono into a pâté and fed it to Eto as a meal. Repeatedly, Furuta had displayed a very duplicitous nature, capable of even infiltrating the Clowns and disguising his intentions in order to further his plans. In spite of this, when looking past Furuta's many masks and faces, he's in fact a broken man who knew he was destined to live a short life. From a very early age, Furuta knew that humans like him would die early deaths as a result of his predecessor's actions, so he decided he'd "destroy" everything since then. His world view is a nihilistic one; everything will end, so it's not wrong to take advantage of the "toy box" and have fun. In his final moments, he revealed that he truly wanted to live a normal life, rather than living one fated to be short and painful.

Powers and Abilities:

Half-Human Physiology: Born as a failed half-ghoul, Furuta had increased physical capabilities as well as a shortened life span. Ghoul Physiology: After gaining Rize's kakuhou, Furuta had an increased healing factor along with a rinkaku kagune.[ Rinkaku Kagune: Furuta displayed his kagune in his fight against Eto, possessing one to two tentacles that could easily slice through Eto’s kakuja while she was in a weakened state. During his fight with Marude, he could produce three tentacles with spikes, each resembling Kaneki's first centipede-like incomplete kakuja. One of the tentacles were able to produce a wide mouth with teeth. During the defense of Tokyo, Furuta brandished four massive and thorned tentacles similar to the ones developed by Dragon, easily shredding into an unprepared Kaneki. During his duel with Kaneki, Furuta's kagune became a large black mass with multiple eyes that worked in the manner of tentacles, able to expand through large distances and form into numerous spikes. Rinkaku Kakuja: Furuta possessed a Rinkaku Kakuja that covered over him as a body armour with a flesh pattern. In his Kakuja form, Furuta was capable of developing a pair of centipede-like tentacles with spikes at their sides and large eyes surrounding their length. His face was covered in flesh with a set of large sharp teeth and a single flaring eye. Superhuman Strength Superhuman Regeneration: Furuta displayed a high capability of regeneration, being able to survive getting impaled through the stomach, bombarded by countless firearms, exploded by a launcher, and torn apart by a berserk Kaneki in Kakuja. He was capable of regenerating his body nearly immediately, reattaching severed limbs, and even recreating the clothes he wore. Swordsmanship: When wielding his quinque, Furuta used it in a destructive manner and sliced up the things around him. Tsunagi : A bikaku-type mass-produced sword quinque. He seemed to have temporarily abandoned it during his fight with Matsumae in favor of Rotten Follow. Rotten Follow: A chainsaw quinque powered by a rinkaku-type kakuhou. Furuta inherited this quinque from his deceased former superior Kijima, and used it for the first time to attack and finish off Matsumae during the Tsukiyama Family Extermination Operation. Katana: The same Katana blade brandished by V, Furuta wielded this weapon with masterful precision, and seemed to often rely on it after becoming the Bureau Chief. It is unknown whether this Katana is a quinque, however it seems to possess the ability to slice into even the strongest of ghouls.

Relationships:

Ken Kaneki / Haise Sasaki Some time after the Tsukiyama Family Extermination Operation Kichimura worked together with Sasaki, as his underling. Sasaki usually had Kichimura handle the more menial work. He also imposed irregular tasks, for instance, Kichimura investigated a private residence without permission and was suddenly asked to play "good cop" to a suspect Sasaki had terrified. Kichimura directly teased Sasaki for his behavior, but Sasaki was not bothered and even agreed occasionally. Sasaki eventually found out about Kichimura's true identity and role in the steel beam incident via a recording taken during a conversation between Eto and Kichimura. During his escape with Hinami from Cochlea, the two combated each other without holding back, severing their professional relationship. After the Third Cochlea Raid, Kichimura claimed the title of the Washuu King in contrast of Kaneki claiming to be the One-eyed King. Kichimura, revealing his true nature and goals to Kaneki, directly claimed responsibility for the steel beam incident while mocking and teasing him. It was after Kaneki's release from Dragon that the two became openly hostile to each other. Kaneki tracked down Furuta in an abandoned tunnel and began to engage him in a battle that resulted in Furuta’s grievous injuries. The two shared a moment of understanding towards the end of the chapter. Shiki Kijima Kijima was Kichimura's superior and partner. Kichimura acted like a personal assistant of Kijima's and cared for his superior. While he was acting drunk, he mentioned that he was annoyed by his boss. Kichimura's feelings towards Kijima were proved to be faked, however, as he showed an utter lack of regard for his superior's death, even going so far as to step on his body. Kishou Arima Kichimura and Arima were paternal half-brothers. While not much was known about their relationship, they were affiliated with each other as they were both involved with V. Arima sought Kichimura out to inform him that V called about Kaneki. Matsuri Washuu They appeared to share a conflicted relationship that consisted of constant battles for power among the CCG. Kichimura internally stated a desire to have Matsuri wiped out as soon as possible, and went as far as to order V to dispose of him, so that he could take the position of Bureau Director from Matsuri's hands. Koori Ui Kichimura seemed to be taking advantage of Koori's trust in him, and relied on him when he required to set his plans in motion. Having caught Koori in a state of false trust, Kichimura ultimately made use of the Special Class, going as far as to promote him to the spot of the Bureau Director Adviser while deceiving him with the hopes of reviving Hairu from the dead. After the "Dragon" is born, Koori began to realize that Kichimura was merely toying with him to further his own plans, and during their confrontation, Kichimura gave Koori an apology. Tsuneyoshi Washuu Kichimura thought negatively of his father, proven when he felt nothing about his death when staging a coup d'etat against the Washuu Clan and brutally murdering his father with the aid of Clowns and V. Shuu Tsukiyama Kichimura was associated with Tsukiyama under the aliases PG and Mr. MM respectively during their time at the Ghoul Restaurant. Kichimura naturally turned his back on Tsukiyama during the Tsukiyama Family Extermination Operation, apologizing to Mr. MM for killing his underling Matsumae. Eto Yoshimura Eto and Kichimura had a very hostile relationship that bordered on volatile. Their conversations were laced with insults and Kichimura harbored a strong desire to see her be punished and die. Their conversations, though masked under smiles and pleasantries, were laced with heavy insults and both harbored a strong desire to see the other dead. They would not hesitate to use any means to get under the other's skin. Additonally, Eto seemed to know a lot about Kichimura such as his role in helping Kanou and causing Rize's accident, and his secret status as a Washuu. During their battle, Kichimura continuously mocked Eto and her abilities before unexpectedly tearing her Kakuja apart and leaving her for dead in his victory.
