JACK[]

Aki is a childhood friend of Taishi Fura and Ryou where the three grew up together and became delinquents in high school. During a night out riding motorcycles and eluding police, the group was attacked by the Ghoul Lantern. Two unnamed friends were killed, and Lantern ambushed the survivors before attacking Aki. Her right eye was slashed out during the attack and her boyfriend, Ryou, sacrificed his life to save Fura.

In the hospital, Aki underwent a change of heart and tells Fura that she was being punished for her crimes. She resolved to make amends for her delinquent past, though Fura told her what killed their friends was not a demon but merely a Ghoul.

In the years following the incident, Aki eventually married Fura and moved to the 7th Ward after he was given command there. A year prior to the events of Tokyo Ghoul, Aki gave birth their first and only daughter, Natsu Fura.
