History

Answering to Tatara within Aogiri Tree, Tomoe earns the names Grave Robber and Quinque Hunter for stripping weapons from fallen investigators, while Hooguro calls her Little Bin. Her bikaku kagune splits into three sharp tails that cut deeply but burn through her rc cells quickly, so she often prefers a looted black katana, matching trained investigators blade for blade.

During the Rose extermination she is hired by Kanae von Rosewald to help ambush the Quinx Squad in a parking garage. She steps in when Tooru Mutsuki wounds Karao Saeki and nearly overwhelms him, only for Kuki Urie to force her into retreat. On Rushima she attacks Seidou Takizawa after he turns on Tatara, but he catches her sword bare-handed and beats her back. Rather than kill her, Takizawa hauls her along to flee the island as he carries a dying Akira Mado.

Later, starving in the wake of the Clown siege, she sits down with Takizawa to talk over the emergence of the Oggai. In the end she founds and leads a faction of her own, a refuge for ghouls who can no longer live among humans. She still nurses a grudge against Koutarou Amon for killing the Bin brothers, the older figures she regarded as family, and hopes one day to avenge them.
