Ryouta Ooshiba
CharacterRyouta Ooshiba is a First Class Ghoul Investigator who leads his own squad into the Auction Mopping-up Operation. He meets his end during the raid while confronting the ghoul known as Nutcracker.
Appearance
Ooshiba stands out as a short young man who keeps a broad, faintly mocking grin fixed on his face. His dark hair is cropped and swept back off his forehead, and he sports a trim beard. Like his fellow investigators, he pairs a dark formal suit with the standard white coat draped over his shoulders.
Personality
Little of his character surfaces given how briefly he features in the story. What comes through is nerve. He holds his composure against the Nutcracker and urges his subordinates to stay calm, and even with death closing in he keeps relaying details about the enemy back to headquarters.
