Fujishige Iba
CharacterFujishige Iba is a retired Special Class investigator of the CCG who once headed the veteran trio rounded out by Yukinori Shinohara and Kureo Mado. Decades of ghoul hunting cost him his right arm in a clash with the One-Eyed Owl, yet he remains one of the organization's most respected old hands.
Appearance
Iba passed his working years as a middle-aged man crowned with cropped black hair, a shade that gradually washed out to white as he aged. A confrontation with Yoshimura, staged before the main story begins, left him permanently short his right arm.
History
Long before the manga's present day, Iba ranked among the CCG's most valued investigators and worked shoulder to shoulder with Shinohara and Mado. A decade prior to the story, during the One-Eyed Owl's third assault on the 2nd ward, he traded blows with the creature and surrendered his arm in the process. He also joined his juniors in toasting the takedown of Demon Yamada.
After the Owl Suppression Operation, Iba came to the hospital room where Shinohara lay in a vegetative state, arriving alongside Iwao Kuroiwa and Juuzou Suzuya once a doctor had laid out the prognosis. He reminded Kuroiwa to be grateful the lost limb had not been his dominant one, then looked back fondly on the years he had spent partnered with Shinohara and Mado.
