Ichimi is one of the ghouls loyal to Kazuichi Banjou, the former head of the 11th Ward's ghouls, and is nearly always seen at his side with his siblings Jiro and Sante. When Banjou throws in with Ken Kaneki, Ichimi follows him without hesitation.
In public Ichimi keeps his identity behind a single-filter gas mask paired with a hoodie marked by the number one stitched onto the hood, a nod to the Japanese word ichi. Pull the hood back and a head of spiky black hair is revealed.
Beyond his steadfast devotion to Banjou, little has been established about what makes Ichimi tick.
Ichimi trailed Banjou to Anteiku along with Jiro and Sante, and after Kaneki accidentally knocked their leader out, the three explained Banjou's hopeless infatuation with Rize and his efforts to guide the 11th Ward's ghouls, voicing their resentment toward the Aogiri Tree members who had seized control there. Fighting under the Anti-Aogiri banner, he took part in the prison break, helping cut down a guard who tripped the alarm and staying behind with Banjou and Kaneki to hold off the Bin brothers so the others could flee. The group was recaptured by Yamori but freed by Anteiku amid the 11th Ward Battle, after which the trio joined Kaneki's group behind Banjou. During the raid on Kanou's laboratory they slipped in disguised as janitors to reach the Ghoul Restaurant, clashed with Gagi and Guge, and later fought the CCG. When Kaneki wounded Banjou, they tried to shield their old leader and were tossed aside. As Kaneki's group broke apart, they pledged to follow Banjou wherever he went, and in the years after they never wavered in that support, with Jiro eventually becoming Banjou's wife in a traditional ghoul wedding arranged by Tsukiyama. As a ghoul, Ichimi has strong physical ability and holds his own in hand-to-hand fighting alongside his siblings.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
