Eto Yoshimura

Eto (エト, Eto) is an executive of Aogiri Tree. Eto is often seen interacting with fellow Aogiri member, Tatara.

Her relation with the One-Eyed King is unclear however the CCG and Nico speculates that they are the same person.

Appearance
As Eto, she has a child-like appearance. Eto's whole body is covered in bandages. When her bandages are removed though, she takes the appearance of a full-grown woman with long hair bangs to the side. Her right eye is a kakugan while her left eye is normal. Her facial features are very similar to her mother.

As Takatsuki, she is a young girl in her 20s with light hair.

As the One Eyed Owl, her kakuja creates a mask with one hole on the right eye's position and three zigzag lines on the left, with two lines at the mouth's position slanted downwards.

Personality
Due to her human and ghoul nature, Eto has a number of sides to her personality,

As a ghoul, she has a sadistic personality, cutting off Shinohara's leg so that he could "match" with Juuzou's injuries and taunting Kurona and Nashiro about their parent's death. Her twisted personality is possibly the result of fighting to stay alive during her early years in the 24th ward.As a result,she has no qualms about remorselessly slaughtering humans and ghouls alike.

Like many ghouls, she is able to compartmentalize her ghoul and human alter egos with relative ease. Since she doesn't see any value in human life, this indicates that she has a misanthropic view on humanity. Whether her views on humanity was a factor in her attacks on the CCG is still unknown.

As Sen Takatsuki, Eto projects a childish air around her through her actions and overall demeanor. She appears to be quite ditzy at times, oversleeping on the day she was suppose to be signing books and taking photos with admirers when it was prohibited by her manager.

Past
Eto/One-Eyed Owl was born to Ukina and Yoshimura as a hybrid human and ghoul being. However, when Ukina was forcefully killed by Yoshimura under the orders of V, the child was hidden in the 24th ward in order to protect its frail life. As the Owl grew up in the 24th ward, it came to hate the world and continued to survive; eventually, it became a half-kakuja due to the low human and high ghoul population ratio in the ward. In its youth, the One-Eyed Owl first appeared to the CCG during their whack-a-mole hunts and killed Mado's wife as she covered for her comrades' retreat.

One day, Owl appeared for the first time and single-handedly killed a Special Class Investigator that was affiliated with the 3rd ward. Owl was assigned an S rating and given the nickname X afterwards.

One month later, Owl executed a large-scale attack on CCG's 2nd ward branch office. The office was heavily damaged and CCG suffered numerous casualties. Owl's rating was increased to SS and nickname changed to 'Owl', due to his plumage-like Kagune. After a report of Owl only having one kakugan, his nickname was again changed to 'One-Eyed Owl'.

Afterwards, Owl and other ghouls attacked the Ghoul Detention Center in the 23rd ward. Owl's rating was upgraded to SSS.

Later, Owl's faction attacked the 2nd ward for a second time. This time, First Class Investigator Kuroiwa dealt a lethal damage to Owl's kakuhou with his Quinque. However, Kuroiwa himself was seriously injured and could not participate in subsequent operations.

Finally, Yoshimura, acting in the One-Eyed Owl's place, attacked the 2nd ward for a third time alone. CCG's team was unable to exterminate Yoshimura. However, the genius Rank 2 Investigator Arima used the Special Class Investigators' quinques as he went up against Owl. Finally, he defeated Owl (Yoshimura), leading to CCG's victory. Owl(Yoshimura), fatally wounded, vanished after this day ten years ago.

Aogiri Arc
Eto attended the meeting where Kaneki was brought before Tatara. At the end of the meeting, Tatara left the Aogiri hideout's affairs to Noro. Tatara predicted that the doves would come soon and ordered Noro to follow their plan. Then, Tatara left with Eto to meet comrades that were waiting for them.

Anteiku Raid
Appearing on the rooftop in her full Kakuja form where Shinohara, Kuroiwa, Houji, and Suzuya subdued Yoshimura. From there she continues fighting the CCG's forces until Arima and Squad 0 arrived.

After fighting with Arima one on one and even losing a leg, she hops over and swallows Yoshimura whole and escapes off the rooftop. After fleeing to another building, Owl's Kakuja split to reveal an unbandaged Eto. Eto then looked to Yoshimura and called him father with sadistic affection.

Post-20th Ward One-Eyed Owl Battle
She is later seen in Dr. Kanou's old lab, stating that they would just have to make Kaneki again, apparently after losing the old one.

Power and Abilities
As one of the executives in Aogiri Tree, Eto takes orders only from the One Eyed King, Tatara or Noro and can command anyone below her rank. Despite being an executive, she has a ghoul rating of SSS and is far stronger than the other executives such as Yamori and Ayato. She possesses incredible agility, able to readjust her position from the Yasuhisa sisters to Banjou at a speed where it it seems like she teleported. She has exceptional reflexes. This is shown when she ripped out parts of Banjou's ribcage without him noticing until it has taken place. Due to her hybrid nature, Eto is stronger than most ghouls, evident by her attacks in CCG headquarters and the number of investigators that she has killed as the One Eyed Owl. This is shown when she easily subdues a team of high class investigators prior to Arima's arrival whereas Yoshimura has trouble fending off with the same investigators' cooperative attacks. She is the strongest and most dangerous ghoul to date with 6-8 Kakuhous that help expand her kagune abilities.


 * Ukaku Kagune: Eto's kagune takes the form of a plumage of feathers that can shoot bullets similar to her father's. Due to the high number of kakuhous in her body, her kagune abilities are very diversified.


 * Kakuja Kagune: Due to living in the 24th ward where the number of ghouls are much higher than humans, Eto had to cannibalized ghouls at an early age and quickly became a kakuja. Like her father, she is able to shape her kakuja kagune into two muscular blades above her shoulders. This increased capability in close range helps her counteract her kagune's weakness. In her full kakuja form, Eto takes the appearance of a large,monstrous creature with her Ukaku kagune growing into large spikes protruding from her back, large bird-like feet, and her mask develops four horns and has a single eye in the center with three markings on the left and right cheek and the forehead. In this form, she is nearly unstoppable. Her ukaku kagune is capable of shooting projectiles large enough to overwhelm most seasoned investigators with ease and her physical strength is augmented to the point where she is able to knock out an Arata Proto equipped Yukitori Shinohara and Iwao Kuroiwa through brute force alone. Unlike most kakujas, she is able to maintain her consciousness.

Yoshimura
Eto appears to have some form of twisted relationship for her father when they reunite from the time she is an infant. This is evident by her intervention during the Anteiku Raid to save Yoshimura from being killed by the invading CCG investigators. However this is done in Aogiri's and Kanou's best interest as they plan to use Yoshimura for experiments.
