SpoilerRC Type RinkakuSpoilerKichimura Washuu (和修 吉福, Washū Kichimura) is the primary antagonist of the Tokyo Ghoul series and the former Bureau Director of the CCG. He is involved in numerous organizations and is responsible for several major events of the series.SpoilerHe was originally Souta Washuu-Furuta (和修旧多 宗太, Washū-Furuta Sōta), 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 (旧多 二福, Furuta Nimura).
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 (宗太, Sōta) 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 (和修の王, Washū no Ō), 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.
