Chi She Lian
CharacterChi She Lian, rendered in English as the Red Tongue Company, was a Chinese ghoul terrorist group referenced in Tokyo Ghoul. Details stay thin, yet it left a mark: the CCG lent out Kousuke Houji to help hunt it down, and Aogiri's Tatara survived its collapse.
Overview
Chi She Lian, whose name translates into English as the Red Tongue Company, was a terrorist band drawn from Chinese ghouls that the series only mentions in passing. Very little of its inner workings ever reached the page, leaving it one of the story's more shadowy factions.
Role
The organization drew enough alarm that Chinese authorities pulled Kousuke Houji away from the Commission of Counter Ghoul to help track and wipe it out. A lasting thread runs to Aogiri Tree, since Tatara, that group's second-in-command, once belonged to Chi She Lian and shared blood with its leader. His trademark white coat is thought to echo the faction's signature dress.
