Michie Takizawa (滝澤 道江, Takizawa Michie) was the mother of the Ghoul Investigator Seidou Takizawa and Seinan Gakuin University student Seina Takizawa.

Appearance[]

Michie was a middle-aged woman with dark-brown hair that is worn up in a loose knot with bangs hanging on either side.

Personality[]

Michie was a rather ordinary woman and a very doting mother to her children.

Plot[]

Owl Suppression Operation[]

At some point in the past, an elderly neighbor named Satou was killed by a ghoul. Seeing his mother's distress over the event, Seidou Takizawa decided to become a ghoul investigator.

Michie was surprised when her son came to visit, and fussed over him still being single. She recalled him having an attractive classmate, but was berated for suggesting that. She remained unaware of her son's worries over the upcoming Owl Suppression Operation in the 20th ward, with him ultimately leaving his possessions to her in his will.[4]

Experimentation[]

At some point after Seidou Takizawa was abducted by Aogiri Tree, Michie and her husband were killed. Their remains were then prepared and secretly fed to their son by Dr. Akihiro Kanou, who revealed the truth afterwards. This revelation was a major blow to Seidou's mind, causing him to abandon his humanity.[1]

Auction[]

While unhinged as a result of using his incomplete kakuja, Seidou Takizawa began apologizing to his parents for having eaten them.

Relationships[]

Seidou Takizawa[]

The mother and son seemed to be very close to each other; Michie doted on her only son, and a primary reason for why Seidou decided to join the CCG was due to his mother's fears about the dangers of ghouls after an elder woman neighbor was killed by one.

Etymology[]

  • The name Michie means "road, way, street" (道) (michi) and "bay, inlet" (江) (e).
  • Michie's surname Takizawa means "waterfall" (滝) (taki) and "marsh" (澤) (sawa/zawa).
