Taishi Fura

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

Background
Fura, as a teenager, attended Seishin Senior Highschool along with Arima. He had two childhood friends; Ryou, with whom he played baseball and Aki, a girl whom he had a crush on. When Ryou associated himself with a gang of bikers, this lead to his death, as he was stabbed by the Kagune of a killer ghoul whom Arima was currently investigating. Witnessing his friend's tragic death, Fura grew heated for vengeance, and pleaded with Arima to help with his investigation, wanting to know about ghouls right away. Thus, he eventually undertook the career of Ghoul Investigation.

Appearance
Taishi is a tall man with orange hair and dark eyes. He wears the suit and tie like the other CCG investigators. As a student, he normally wore the standard school uniform, along with piercings on his left ear.

Personality
Fura was quite a rebellious 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'. He 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.

Plot
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.
