Tooru Mutsuki is a Special Class Ghoul Investigator stationed at a rural CCG branch office. He is a Quinx and a former member of both the Quinx Squad and the TSC.
At the start of Tokyo Ghoul:re, Mutsuki is a slim young adult with bronze skin and dark ivy-colored hair. As the series progresses, his hair lightens and he develops a more athletic build. He has pale, olive-colored eyes; however, at that time, his right eye had a permanently active kakugan with a dark gray sclera. Consequently, he wore a medical eyepatch to hide it, though he eventually switches to a leather one given to him by his former mentor, Haise Sasaki, as a Christmas gift. During his tenure as a ghoul investigator, like most of his peers, Mutsuki typically wore formal attire often paired with a short, white trenchcoat. Additionally, he wears a cropped, strapless binder to flatten his chest, though it resembles a compression panel wrapped around his torso and secured by clips more than a standard binder. Due to past traumas, he bears a large scar across his upper left pectoral and another across his right side.
Mutsuki is kindhearted and gentle but begins as shy and lacking in self-confidence. Suffering from constant bouts of anemia, he ironically feels repulsed by blood. Because of his sickly nature and low self-esteem, he faces discouragement as a ghoul investigator, to the point where he feels unnecessary for the job. He expresses frustration with his own weakness, feeling anger at his lack of ability compared to his comrades. However, he is reliable and hard-working, always following orders, in contrast to the more troublesome or lazy members of his team. Though lacking confidence, he shows a strong desire to help others and does not hesitate to place himself at risk to protect the innocent. He eventually gains a boost in confidence and becomes much more assertive. He takes a more active role in encouraging his teammates to work together and begins to branch out to other people.
Spoiler
A flashback reveals that he was born female, but was unable to reconcile his feelings of discomfort towards his gender. As such, he began living as a man and uses highly-masculine personal pronouns, even when such informal language is not socially appropriate. It contrasts strongly with his gentle personality, and his consistent respect towards others. He shows great respect to Sasaki and Dr. Shiba, as well as other investigators even when treated poorly by them. He is also a confidant to his superior, as he always reassures him when he is feeling down, thus showing a great fondness and admiration for Sasaki.
Spoiler
It is eventually revealed that Mutsuki suffers black-out episodes, leaving gaps in his memories. During these episodes, his personality traits significantly change and frequently involve extreme acts of violence. Afterward, he retains no memory of these actions and denies any accusations involving them. After hallucinating the events of those lost memories, Mutsuki reacts with horror and disgust. However, during his battle against Takizawa he becomes merciless and cruel, expressing arousal when he crushes the latter's testicles. He also severely wounds Akira when she protects Takizawa from his attacks.
Spoiler
After the Clown Siege, Mutsuki becomes highly unstable to the point of violence as he becomes obsessed with killing Touka, even willing to harm an innocent citizen associated with her.
Spoiler
Also, Mutsuki has a habit of holding their clothes when lying or hiding something, similar to Hide touching his face and Kaneki touching his chin. This behavior can be seen in several moments throughout the series. In Chapter 5, during a flashback that shows them being recruited by CCG, Mutsuki lies about their feelings regarding their gender and their desire to live as a male. Similarly, in Chapter 79, another flashback shows Mutsuki lying about their family being killed by a ghoul. In Chapter 100, when Saiko confronts Mutsuki about hiding something, Mutsuki deflects by admitting they are female—though Saiko had actually noticed the smell of human blood on them. Finally, in Chapter 154, Mutsuki claims they couldn't care less if Urie or any of their friends died.
