Uta

Uta (ウタ, Uta) is a ghoul and is an old friend of Renji Yomo and Itori. He's the owner of HySy ArtMask Studios and creates masks for ghouls who need them to hide their identity from the C.C.G.. Despite being friendly towards Kaneki, he is actually a member of the Clowns and is one of the secret antagonists and Bigger Bads of the supernatural horror fantasy anime/manga series Tokyo Ghoul.

Appearance
Uta is a man of rather average height with dark black hair with an undercut to it. He has dozens of tattoos all over his arms including a tattoo of the sun over his entire left chest region. His kakugan is always active at first glance but in reality, it's actually done through tatooing and ejecting black ink into his eyes. His typical attire consists of a dark grey tangtop and a black overcoat along with it. He also wears harem pants, black sandels, and a black necklace with little white gems hanging from it. He is described by Kaneki of haivng a scary appearance. Uta's Mask currently is a white mask with four holes and a long nose but he doesn't have a clown mask despite being a member of the group.

When Uta was a teenager, he had lighter colored blond hair and a headband to keep it back. He wore a big black coat and had glasses, a purple shirt, and a black coat with him as well. His mask at the time was a blank faceless one with a voodoo style look and got him the name No Face by the CCG.

On his neck, there's a tattoo with a Latin quote written in Greek letters that says "I can neither live with you, nor without you".

Νεχ ποσσυμ τεχυμ ωιωερε, νεχ σινε τε. Nec possum tecum vivere, nec sine te. &#8212;Martial, Epigrams XII, 46 Personality At first glance, Uta has a rather emotionless tone to his voice as his face and expression almost never changes. Uta speaks in a normal tone of voice and is rather friendly when he is first seen. He acts very emotionless and is left unfazed by pratically everything as even if someone dies, he wil act as if it never happened. He appears to love anything related to tragedy and will create masks based off of sad ideas from various artists. In his youth he was sadistic and insane and as he got older, he was able to hide far better than when he was younger. Like all of the other Clowns, he loves chaos and anarchy and was to cause it to have the "last laugh". Despite being psychotic and insane, he still has genuine care for others like Roma.

Doves' Emergence
Uta makes his first debut where Touka Kirishima and Ken Kaneki are visiting his studio to get Kaneki a brand new mask. He scares Kaneki there and eventually begins measuring his face to create his mask and asks Kaneki about Touka and tells him about the risks of the various wards the ghouls inhabit. After he is finished making Kaneki's mask, Uta dropped it off at Anteiku after Kaneki and Touka were done training and said how he wanted to see Kaneki's left eye so he had the right eye covered up with the eyepatch.

Gourmet Arc
When Kaneki is taken to the Helter Skelter, a bar which Itori owns, he is greated by Itori scaring him with one of Uta's masks and they all sit down for a rather pleasent conversation. Uta is there drinking at the bar while they explain to Kaneki about the underworld, Renji's past, and how thanks to all three of them, the 4th Ward is very dangerous.

Aogiri Arc
After Kaneki got abducted by the Aogiri Tree, Uta appears again as he is part of the team that is sent in to help rescue Kaneki. He then goes with Yomo, Touka, Nishiki, and Shuu Tsukiyama as they all split up and search the base for Kaneki. Later on, Uta, Yomo, and Tsukiyama all run into Noro after he is finished slaughtering a small squadron of CCG Soldiers. All three of them engage in a fight with Noro and eventually Uta pierces his chest with his bare hands. After witnessing Noro put his head back on, he compliments on how Noro's regeneration is far too strong for a regular ghoul's.
