Taishi Fura

Taishi Fura (富良 太志, Fura Taishi) is a First-Class Ghoul Investigator. He is the protagonist of the side story Tokyo Ghoul: Jack, alongside Kishou Arima.

After graduating from high school, he pursued a career as a Ghoul Investigator and married his childhood friend, Aki Sasada. He is the Leader of the Fura Squad, and in charge of the 7th Ward.

Appearance
In his younger years, Taishi was a tall boy with orange hair and dark eyes. As a student, he normally wore the standard school uniform loosely, along with piercings on his left ear.

Later as a ghoul investigator, he is seen wearing a suit and and tie like the other CCG investigators. He has dark hair combed backwards.

Personality
Fura was quite a rebellious but determined teenager, being very boisterous and short-tempered. Because their personalities were so different, he and Arima often had trivial quarrels, accusing Arima of not being 'normal' or living a 'normal life'. Taishi never liked school or studying, and skipped classes frequently. He seemed to be quite hasty and impatient as well, desiring to make a move at the slightest possible signs of a suspect, as expressed by the vengeance he wanted to take for his friends. He is also shown to care deeply about his comrades, holding a protective streak over them.

Fura's appearance in Tokyo Ghoul:re portrays him as a veteran who is unfazed at most things, be it meeting arguments or actual battles during investigations. His early experiences with Arima and Minami has shaped how he views his professional life and ghouls. To him, working at the CCG is nothing more than being paid to take lives, as he sees ghouls similar to humans.

Jack
In his adolescence, Fura attended Seishin High School along with Arima. Though he never liked school, he usually went shopping and did all the housework since his mother never did. He had two childhood friends: Ryou, with whom he played baseball and Aki, a girl he had a crush on. After he stopped pursuing his baseball hobby, he joined a biker gang with Ryou and Aki.

Fura left the biker gang and began attending school more frequently after the appearance of a transfer student whom he fancied. When Fura happened to see Ryou and Aki speeding on the road, he decided to meet them when their gang happened to be targeted by Lantern. Ryou, protecting Fura who was overpowered, was killed and Aki lost her right eye to the ghoul. Witnessing his friend's tragic death, Fura swore vengeance, and pleaded with Arima, who was investigating Lantern undercover, to let him help with the investigation. At the end of this investigation, he and Arima suppressed Lantern, who turned out to be Minami.

Aogiri Arc
After Kureo Mado's funeral service, Koutarou Amon observed how Fura had to quickly move out because a suspect had started to move. Fura noted that there was not even time to mourn.

Raid on Kanou's Lab

Fura serves in the raid under Mougan Tanakamaru's command, taking part in the fight against the Apes.

In the anime, he is seen battling against Kaya Irimi and Enji Koma's forces, and is later surrounded by Aogiri Tree, alongside 6 Investigators with him. He then reports to the others that, with a smile on his face, Kishou Arima has arrived. Together with Mougan, Take Hirako, Kuramoto Itou, Chuu Hachikawa, and Ayumu Hogi, they take down numerous Aogiri Tree ghouls until Naki orders a retreat.

Rosewald Investigation
Fura appeared at the S1 meeting alongside Koori Ui and Hairu Ihei. After the meeting, he and Haise Sasaki explained to Quinx Squad members about Hairu's career.

He later took part in the ambush of Matsumae and her followers along with Hairu Ihei, Shiki Kijima and Nimura Furuta. Afterwards, He advised Ihei against her bad remarks.

When Sasaki brought up his idea of having the Quinx squad posing as ghouls, Fura watched as Ui rejecting the plan. Fura afterwards expresses his opinion on the plan being a good one, and accusing Ui of shooting down the plan merely due to him not wanting Sasaki to get more achievements.

He later is shown in favor of Sasaki's Mask Operation and helped pass the motion.

Kishou Arima
Fura and Arima are former classmates and they know each other well. Though the two grew close during their time hunting Lantern, over the years it seems they to have grown distant. Even so, Fura seems to understand his old friend well.

Fura however quits the team by himself to begin attending school again. Despite all this however, Fura and Ryou still view each other as one of the most important people in their life.

Uruka Minami
Initially Fura viewed Uruka as a beautiful transfer student, and would begin attending more classes because of her. After saving her from a ghoul, they form a partnership with Arima to track down ghoul activites in which Fura is thankful but also sorry for her as Arima wouldn't let her tag along despite obtaining information from her. Moments before her death, Fura felt as if she does not qualify as a human due to her predatory side; he however later acknowledges her feelings and would recall killing ghouls the same as killing human beings in his later years.

Fura and Hairu are familiar with each other. Although he respects her power, he does not hesitate about advising her against making bad remarks.
