Matsuri Washuu

Matsuri is noted for having an extremely logical and cold nature, having little consideration for human life when making decisions. His record is particularly bloody, since he prioritizes successful results over the potential cost to those under his command. Considered unfriendly at best, he has little patience and treats those he views negatively with open disdain. He is a career-driven man who aspired to get promoted to Special Class then Bureau Director, the former of which he has achieved. He is also very speciesist, cruel, and remorseless against ghouls even by the CCG's standards, as seen when Urie showed guilt over his inability to protect Shirazu, he says his faith in him was misplaced, hinting at a genuine and general lack of empathy. After the death of his clan, Matsuri becomes mentally frail and very insecure of himself but he manages to gain some of his confidence back after Urie gives him words of encouragement, saying that he believes the person who should be Bureau Chief of the Commission of Counter Ghoul is Matsuri instead of Furuta. Because of the frail state he is in after his clan's death, those words of flattery Urie said to him seems to have developed an obsession for Urie as Matsuri stripped himself naked while confessing his possible love for him.

Matsuri wears formal attire at work similar to that of other ghoul investigators. He has short black hair, a goatee, and wears a pair of glasses, though at his dinner and in his younger days he went without. He usually wears a constant stoic face, displaying lack of emotion mostly. In his younger days, his hair was much shorter. Young Matsuri.png|Matsuri in his younger days.

A member of the Washuu Clan, Matsuri has spent his life training and working as a ghoul investigator. He is an accomplished investigator, with both combat and command operations under his belt. Swordsmanship: Matsuri demonstrates a high level of skill with a sword, fending off and killing several Clowns and V agents while badly outnumbered. Keen Intellect: Matsuri is a skilled tactician and strategist, and is quick to decipher the actions of his opponents and formulate an effective counter. During the Tsukiyama Family Extermination Operation, he immediately deduced Mirumo Tsukiyama's true intentions in smuggling his son to safety as well as narrow down the possible locations to the Luna Eclipse within a short period of time. Ghoul Physiology: Being a Washuu, Matsuri inherited several ghoul abilities, although the exact extent of his powers is unknown. * Superhuman Reflexes: He exhibits exceptional reflexes and reaction time, able to swing himself into a building mid-air right after the helicopter he was on burst into flames unexpectedly while he was deep in thought. * Keen Senses: He also demonstrates unusually keen hearing, shown when he heard a gunshot when no one else in the room had reacted to it. * Superhuman Regeneration: Matsuri's full abilities remain unknown, but his regenerative abilities are sufficient to not only allow him to survive a sword strike to the skull, but to shrug it off immediately, with no visible impairment.
