Shinya Takahashi is a Japanese voice actor who plays supporting CCG investigators across the Tokyo Ghoul anime franchise.
In the original Tokyo Ghoul series, Takahashi voices Katsuya Mabuchi, a CCG investigator who appears among the Commission's ranks as they hunt ghoul activity across Tokyo's 20th Ward. It's a supporting part, one of many CCG officers surrounding lead investigators like Kotarou Amon and Kureo Mado.
Takahashi returns to the franchise in Tokyo Ghoul:re as Kuramoto Itou, a First-Class Investigator on Take Hirako's team. Where Mabuchi stayed in the background, Itou gets more room to breathe: he is easygoing and cheerful, and he strikes up a real friendship with Haise Sasaki and the Quinx Squad as the story develops.
