Tsuneyoshi Washuu

Tsuneyoshi Washuu (和修 常吉, Washū Tsuneyoshi) is one of the secondary antagonists of Tokyo Ghoul original series and a pivotal antagonist in its sequel, Tokyo Ghoul:re. Tsuneyoshi Washuu was the Commission of Counter Ghoul's late chairman and Yoshitoki Washuu's father, being the former leader of Washuu Clan until he was deposed by his own son, Nimura Furuta.

Overview
In his debut in Tokyo Ghoul, Tsuneyoshi led the C.C.G. members to fight againts ghouls in order to exterminate them, but in Tokyo Ghoul:re, it was revealed that Tsuneyoshi, alongside the entire Washuu Clan, were actually pure-blooded ghouls themselves. He also fathered several ghouls including Rize Kamishiro, and he had insectous relationship with some female members in his clan in order to make his family's bloodline pure.

Personality
As he first appears, Tsuneyoshi presented himself as a serious man with skills and no-nonsence attitude with a powerful insight. Despite his stern disposition, he was a pragmatist inducting Juuzou Suzuya and Ken Kaneki as ghoul investigators despite the former's psychological instability and the latter's cannibalistic species at their sponsor's request. It was said that when he was younger, he could defeat a SSS-class ghoul with bare hands. For his famed strength, he was known as Demon Tsune (鬼常, Oni tsune).

However, beneath the facade, Tsuneyoshi is an out-and-out hypocrite who is uncaring and even perverted so much that he even tried to get into incestous relationship in order to keep his bloodline pure. Even some members in his clan, including Furuta, was disgutsed by his actions. Being the patriarch of a clan of ghouls, Tsuneyoshi continues their traditions of leading the slaughter their own kind to maintain power and protect their own interests.



Besides running the C.C.G., Tsuneyoshi also oversees the Sunlit Garden's extensive breeding program that produces both disposable, short-lived Half-Human Hybrids and "Wombs" that are tasked with bearing pure-blooded children.

As a member of the CCG, Tsuneyoshi apparently considered Rize (who was later revealed to be his own daughter) as a notorious Ghoul offender due to her voracious appetite, but in reality, she was a breeding slave for the branch family of Washuu Clan, which indicates he perceives her as a tool for maintaining the clan's pure bloodline. Tsuneyoshi even intended to rape and impregnate Rize, who was still a child, had she not escaped from him.

The humans that serve the C.C.G. are little more than pawns to him, used and disposed of without a second thought.
