11th Ward Special Countermeasures Unit
CharacterThe 11th Ward Special Countermeasures Unit was a temporary CCG task force assembled specifically to confront the Aogiri Tree ghouls entrenched in the 11th Ward, pulling elite investigators away from their home districts for the campaign.
Overview
The 11th Ward Special Countermeasures Unit was an improvised branch of the CCG raised for a single purpose: to meet the mounting threat that Aogiri Tree's ghouls posed within the 11th Ward. Rather than a standing division, it was a one-off gathering of investigators drawn together only for that operation, and it drew heavily on talent borrowed from across the organization.
Role
Command of the unit went to Itsuki Marude, who was handed the job of building the team from scratch. To fill its ranks he called up a large share of Headquarters' most capable investigators, a demand that left several other districts short-handed and leaned especially hard on the 23rd Ward. The whole formation existed to break Aogiri's hold on the ward and to blunt the wider danger the organization represented.
Notable Members
Marude led the unit with Iwao Kuroiwa as his vice commander. Its roster brought together a number of familiar CCG names, among them Koutarou Amon, Mutsumi Chino, Misato Gori, Take Hirako, Katsuya Mabuchi, Yukinori Shinohara, Juuzou Suzuya, and Hirokazu Tainaka.
