Tsukiyama, Shuu

月山習

Shuu Tsukiyama is the notorious Gourmet ghoul. He is a fourth-year student majoring in Social Welfare within the Department of Human Sciences at Haruna Gakuin University.
An eccentric man with lavish tastes, his persona as a gentleman and intellectual serves as a mask to conceal a disturbed and narcissistic nature. As a ghoul, he exhibits the arrogance of a powerful predator who seeks to devour the finest meals made from his 'prey,' thereby declaring himself the apex carnivore of the food chain. His interest in European literature and language is evident in his gestures and mannerisms, often sprinkling his dialogue with borrowed English, French, and Italian. He displays intense anger toward those who disrespect his culinary taste; for instance, he shattered a teacup in front of Kaneki during their coffee shop date when he recalled his encounter with Rize. While working at his Gourmet Club, Rize believed that his picky eating habits made him seem more human than ghoul, which she considered the worst possible insult. Consequently, Shuu holds a grudge against Rize, calling her a 'pig' for mocking his food preferences.
