But that would be the suprising factor ofcourse, because logically we wouldn't think Uta being bikaku could be equal to Yomo being Ukaku advantaged, so if we think about the Ishida suprise factor, Bikaku is the way to go. Meaning Uta is most likely stronger then Yomo when facing non-Ukaku ghouls, which I can see being the case. Still his fast healing would suggest a rinkaku. And Koukaku's uptil now tend to be very eccentric, which we can also say off Uta.

Ukaku seems out of the question, since he's going in close-combat, but Ishida has the suprise factor again with Ukaku. Since that would explain Yomo & Uta being pretty much equal and Uta not using his kagune, because it drains stamina like a b*tch. The close-combat style is just to throw us off in thinking Ukaku can't be it, but he is extremely fast (furuta stabbing Noro, must've happened fast and he stabbed him in the back, which doesn't seem a fighting style the other 3 would use, since they're more close-combat based and don't need to fear too much going head-first into battle) & Ukaku also have decent healing capacities. (So if we go with the most suprising, then Ukaku) I can understand where you're coming from, and I can see your point. Saying that neither of them like to use their kagune, bikaku would be stong on Yomo/Renjis attacks, so he probaby would still use his hand to hand combat, because we could see that they were evenly matched and they wouldn't go and use their kagune just to kill each other, in other words they were never really out for the kill. Aswell, saying that no one knows Utas true strength (He didn't even cannibalise to get stong like Renji did.) even using a bikaku against Renji,while he used his Ukaku, at full stength, they most likely would still be evenly matched, but, if the pushed came to shove now, there is a small chance that Uta would win.

Most of the time kagunes are based on personalitys.

Ex: Cold people would usually have the Ukaku (Renji, Touka, and  Ayato). More or less unpredictable people would be Rinkaku (Rize & Kaneki). The people that are usually cool and are admired by people are the Koukaku (Shuu,Matsumae, etc.). Upredictable, quirky, funny, childish in some way or form, and unusual (Nishiki, Miza, Enji, etc.), which could be seen as Uta.

Of course I could be wrong, but like you said the close combat fighting style could explain why he has a  bikaku. This is just my theory, and I may be wrong, I was just explaining why there is a very strong chance that Uta holds a bikaku kagune.
