Appearance[]
Taguchi was a slender, petite young woman with brown hair and brown eyes. Her hair was normally tied into a ponytail, with chin-length side bangs which fell to the sides of her face, also clipped in away from her eyes.
As a nurse, she wore the normal medical attire, which consisted of a white body-con dress with a piped collar, along with white stockings and white shoes.
Personality[]
Taguchi had a nice way of communicating with her patients, and showed deep concern for them when she sensed that something is wrong. Her benevolence may have been a facade as she appeared to have been aware of her superior's ghoulification experiments and lied to Ken Kaneki to prevent him from interrogating the doctor about the truth.
