History

He commands the Isai Squad during the operation to mop up after the auction raid. Split off from the Mado Squad at the venue, his unit draws the task of halting the ghoul Naki, who fights alongside Miza. Isai is one of twenty applicants chosen from a ghoul-investigator recruitment campaign whose designs were worked into the manga, and the supplementary operation reports tag him with the theme of heating and cooling.
