[B] Name:[/b] Katashi Yamamoto

[B] Alias:[/b] "The Red Tiger"

[B] Faction:[/b] Ghoul

[B] Age:[/b] 24
[B] Personality:[/b] Despite his rebellious and aggressive appearance, Katashi is actually quite friendly and amiable to ghouls and humans alike. He's always up for a chat, especially over a brew of coffee or a smoke. Katashi is spontaneous with planning, unless absolutely necessary, not really his thing. He springs into action, always defending those who are helpless or his friends alike. Due to his almost reckless nature, he finds it difficult to hide that he's a ghoul, always wanting to use his 'evolution' for good whereas many ghouls would like to use it for nefarious purposes. One thing is certain, you can count on Katashi to jump in front of his allies, no matter the cost.

[B] Appearance:[/b] Despite his friendly nature, Katashi could seem quite intimidating, standing at 6' 1", weighing 170lbs with a muscular yet slim build. When his eyes do not look like that of a Ghoul's, they're actually a deep blue. Katashi is always dressed sharply, usually his deep red style with his buttoned up shirt and waistcoat. His mask is that of a tiger, with slits for the eyes and a crimson red where the orange should be. Katashi's Kagune is Vermilion in colour and is released below his right shoulder blade. It forms over the front of his arm and juts forward into three prongs, like that of a large claw. These claws are thin and sharp, allowing Katashi to slice or stab. Koukaku types are well known for their heaviness and sturdiness, giving Katashi a great advantage in defence. While it's heavy, Katashi's no pushover when it comes to offence, however, defence is the best card in his hand.

(NOTE: Katashi does NOT have the markings around his neck like the picture depicts)

[B] History:[/b] Katashi's younger years were an uninteresting blur. Being a pure ghoul, he wasn't like other kids. Still, his parents did their best to raise him up well and it worked. He was taught that even though eating humans were a way of life for Ghouls, there were methods he could utilise and utilise them he did. His diet consisted of, and still does to this day, suicide victims, very elderly people close to death and most importantly, coffee. 

Katashi's childhood friends were also fellow ghouls. However, in their teens, this information got out and resulted in many ambushes by spiteful humans who were raised on the basis of hating ghouls. As the minority, the group decided it would be best to just take the beatings, not wanting to make a bad name for other ghouls hiding in the school. However, one day, the usual suspects came with an assortment of rocks, pipes and other makeshift weapons. Katashi had the last straw. He roared out, unleashing his Kagune and shielding his friends from the hail of objects. Before the blunt objects could be swung, Katashi threatened one of them, the tips of his claws pointed directly at the opponent's throat. The group was quickly dispelled and Katashi realised that defending those who could not defend themselves was his purpose.

Recently, Katashi has been mostly laying low, going from job to job and watching wrestling on the TV was his life. Although, every now and then, he rushes to someone's aid. A ghoul being ganged up on, a human about to unjustly lose their life or the prevention of crimes committed by humans and ghouls alike, making a name for himself as a Ghoul Vigilante known as the "Red Tiger". However, with the stirrings of Ward 20, could this be his true call to full action on the side of peace?

[B] Skills:[/b] 
[List] [*] Skilled in Kagune Combat.
[*] Intimidation. Whilst he does not like to use it, he knows his figure can be imposing and useful.
[*] Athletic. Fighting crime is tough on the body.
[*] On particularly stressful days, he can smoke like a chimney.
[*] Brawling- While he's never had official training, he can hold his own in hand-to-hand. You don't survive fighting thugs without picking up a thing or two. His style isn't... breathtaking exactly. He's more akin to a prizefighter or some Yakuza thug than any kind of trained martial artist, but that doesn't make his attacks less brutal or effective.

[B] Equipment:[/b] Katashi carries his phone, a pack of cigarettes and a brown satchel to keep his mask close at all times.
