Yeah Saltuleto I definitely think that it is a possibility for many reasons. Your information regarding the actual japanese only adds to the reasons(assuming what you say is true). First, the way Ishida presented this character raised my suspicions. He was presented right next to the reveal of one of the major secondary characters from part one, a discussion of Eto's extremely relevant book. I and many others believe that this book is a call to Kaneki of sorts, the next OEK of sorts. Who was one of the people closest to Kaneki in part one? Obviously Hide. Furthermore, this person(honestly knowing Banjou is a cool guy, number 86 could be a human I think), said that anyone who could read it would almost certainly be moved by it. This seems to me like another allusion to Kaneki, who, as we all know, loves to read. Also, in general, focusing on a seemingly random person, even for a second, is not something Ishida would do; in turn, this person must be important, or at least will be. There was a reason in terms of the story why Souta kept on the mask; he was Furuta; if he took off the mask too soon, we would already have known. I believe that it could be the same in this case. The build does not automatically rule out Hide. The hair is whitish(so possibly blonde if colored), it's sorta thickish like Hide's, and the character is not too bulky to be Hide. Lastly, so many characters from the past have been brought back into the story and have gotten more spotlight as of late. Obviously, if there is any time for Hide to be brought back into the story(and no, I don't think he is dead), now is as good as any other time. But still, it's just a theory until this guy takes the mask off, which I think is a defintie possibility, as he will most likely be taking place in the raid on Cochlea with Banjou and Ayato. Hey would you look at that, another possible character meeting Kaneki once again, all at Cochlea...

PS: I saw in this in a previous comment, but in some computer coding language or something, the number 86 means V....
