History

In class he berates Fura over his frequent absences, and when Taishi grabs Arima by the collar, he throws Fura out for disturbing the better students. Later, making an evening round of the school, he spots Arima and Taishi lingering and moves to send them off. He never gets the chance. A janitor who strikes him as suspicious, in truth the ghoul Tanaka, drives a kagune into him and leaves him badly hurt. What becomes of him after the attack is left unresolved.
