Hobby: sports, martial arts, playing musical instruments, quality criticism of preyShuu Tsukiyama is best known as the Gourmet—a ghoul infamous for his refined, obsessive approach to hunting. He's a fourth-year student in Social Welfare at Haruna Gakuin University, and on the surface, he's every bit the cultured gentleman: articulate, well-read, fluent in European languages. But it's all theater. Underneath is someone deeply narcissistic and unstable, someone who views humans as ingredients to be evaluated and consumed.
His whole worldview centers on food hierarchy. He genuinely believes he's hunting the finest prey—that his taste makes him the apex predator. He'll casually drop French, English, and Italian into conversation as part of this act, and he gets genuinely angry when anyone questions his palate. He once smashed a teacup during a date with Kaneki just thinking about Rize, a server at his private Gourmet Club who once had the audacity to suggest his picky eating habits made him seem too human. That insult stuck with him. He still calls her a "pig" for it.
Right now, though, his obsession has narrowed to a single person: Ken Kaneki. There's something about Kaneki's flesh and blood that he can't stop thinking about.
