History

Daikichi established the Commission of Counter Ghoul and led it as its original chairman, all while concealing his own nature as a ghoul and his ties to the shadow group known as V. From him the Washuu line branched out across generations, his descendants coming to include Tsuneyoshi, Kishou Arima, Rize Kamishiro, Hairu Ihei, and Matsuri, figures who would shape the conflict between humans and ghouls on both sides. Counted among the kakuja, he did not survive into the present day.
