Discussion Ogura Hisashi Appreciation Thread

Agent Phrank · Feb 21, 2016

I thought about including this information on another thread but I figured Ogura deserved his own thread.

Ogura Hisashi

How does this guy know so much about ghouls?

According to Shinohara, he's a "ghoul freak" who's just spreading rumours about ghouls and making the public soft or less cautious.

Less cautious?

Even if Ogura retrieves his information from public sources, he's providing a great service to the Tokyo residents by giving insight on ghoul biology. Hide and Kaneki even contemplated whether ghouls existed or not.

Then there's this book he published on ghoul anatomy & physiology.
[Chapter 30]

Not surprisingly, Hide got a copy of it.
He mentions some clown gang from the 3rd ward. This is one of the first references to the clowns in the entire manga:

Ishida had the ghoul researcher/activist killed in the one shot. Yoshimura kills him, why? The guy was revealing too much information. [Ch. 0]

He also had a mole.

MOLE=PLOT BREAK

[Chapter 2]

Close-up:

Interviewer/Reporter: My doctor, you looked like a ghoul yourself for a second.

Ogura said:
I know more about ghouls than ghouls know about themselves. Ha Ha Ha.

If that's not enough, take it from the person with the greatest intuition in this story:

Chapter 1

Hideyoshi said:
That's a sketchy looking guy

Motivation: For science. It is very likely that Ogura is Kanou's excellent assistant.
Mentioned in this thread->https://mangahelpers.com/forum/threads/kanous-excellent-assistant-is.3001455/

Ogura is the most reliable ghoul researcher with knowledge on all kinds of ghouls and their origins.
This knowledge could definitely be applied by Dr.Kanou.

Alternatively, Chigyou could also be Kanou's "excellent assistant."
