Juuzou Suzuya Husbando

Juuzou Suzuya is a Special Class Ghoul Investigator. In the past, he went by the name Rei Suzuya (鈴屋 玲, Suzuya Rei). He was first partnered with Yukinori Shinohara, and is now currently the leader of Suzuya Squad. He was first assigned to the 20th ward and was responsible for the investigation of the Binge Eater. Later, he was assigned to the 13th ward and was investigating the ghoul Nutcracker, along with his squad. After Kishou Arima's passing, he was declared by Furuta as The Next Arima, the new strongest investigator of the CCG, assuming control of the S3 Squad. Suzuya is a young-looking man with an androgynous appearance, with pale skin and pure shoulder-length white hair. In his hair he wears red hairpins, which form the Roman numeral XIII (13), keeping back his bangs. He has dark red eyes with bags under them. He self-stitches his own body, explaining it to be a form of body modification. A miniature set of red threads that appeared to be two x's are stitched on below his right eye. One below his bottom lip and a line of several stitching threads from his upper neck downward, and several more around his right arm and hand. His attire consisted of a white suit with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, left halfway buttoned and polka-dotted red suspenders that supported his black pants and a pair of red slippers. He frequently wore a black suit above all this, with rolled up sleeves. In the Joker side story and at the start of Tokyo Ghoul:re, Suzuya's appearance changes drastically. His hair is now dyed black and reaches only chin-length. And, his stitches are in a different pattern. His attire consists of a black suit with black dress pant and red suspenders with yellow triangle pattern. He has a prosthetic leg as replacement for his leg that was maimed in the Owl Suppression Operation years ago. Later on in Tokyo Ghoul:re, Suzuya's hair has now reached passed shoulder-length once more. He either keeps it tied in a bun above his head or in a ponytail, or without, as was shown in the promotion ceremony. He has also changed the stitch markings below his right eye, returning it to the original two x's. He has removed all stitch markings from below his right lip. He also changed the Roman numeral in his hair, now making it the Roman numeral XX (20), the "Judgement" tarot. As a child, Suzuya's personality was somewhat normal, albeit a tad twisted, but as a result of Big Madam's treatment, he no longer felt fear, pain, nor did he have any morals. Yukinori Shinohara, his mentor, described him as a "problem child". Despite his childish and playful demeanor, he was also extremely violent and highly disturbed. He usually described his killing methods to be clean, without needless movements, which is a skill he seemed to take pride in. He shows no hesitation to kill someone. He even goes as far as to consider it a part of daily life, and lacks awareness of death's weight. Due to his past, he was blamed for the killings of multiple animals done by Goumasa Tokage and Tooru Mutsuki during his time being trained by the CCG, even though he was innocent. Suzuya was used as the scapegoat since nobody doubted he had committed the killings, which averted suspicions from the culprits who were truly responsible. Suzuya is generally distrusting of people who write him off as a problem child - he notices and hates people looking at him with certain "eyes," judging him. Because of his lack of emotional understanding, he was willing to confront any opponent head-on, no matter how dangerous they were. This had proven to be disastrous when he decided to take on the Owl alone when cooperation was necessary. Originally, he showed no signs of empathy whatsoever and did not understand the emotions of others. However, when he realized how important Shinohara was to him, he let out a cry of anguish. This demonstrated Suzuya's capability to love and care for individuals close to him. After Shinohara was comatose, Suzuya expressed guilt and remorse for not being able to protect him, deeply bowing and apologizing to his wife, and he also kisses Shinohara on the forehead. After the timeskip, Suzuya has matured considerably, becoming more calm and warm towards others. Although he still retains some of his childish traits such as bringing candy into serious meetings, he has become a capable mentor and leader, commanding his own team of investigators. He is now somewhat capable of understanding the predicaments and emotions of others, giving sound advice to Tooru Mutsuki after the latter expressed his fear of fighting. Juuzou has become much more dedicated to the CCG, which is evident when he told Big Madam that he was going to kill her, not because of a personal grudge, but rather it was simply his job to exterminate ghouls. Despite his slight change of character, he is still quite ruthless to ghouls.
