Uta

Personality:   He has a very nice way of speaking and seems to be friendly. Although his expression almost never changes, he has an amusing way of teasing people. Uta seems to be unfazed by most things, and will even go as far as letting someone he respects die in order to respect their will, acting as if nothing major happened afterward. As an artist, Uta holds exotic aesthetics and is often noted as having ill yet masterful tastes; he holds respect for fellow artists. Uta entertains himself through the search for inspiration and crafting masks based on said ideas. Uta was sadistic and savage from his youth and appears to have left those ways behind as time passed. However, he has not changed completely yet after his affiliation with the Clowns becomes apparent, and even saw Kaneki's demise as "fun." Like all members of his organization, he may revel in creating chaos and destruction. Despite the hedonistic and sadistic side of his, Uta has on numerous occasions shown genuine concern for others. As the former leader of the 4th ward and a renowned mask maker, his reputation leads others to respect and consult him for advice. He also tends to introduce his fellow acquaintances to each other for their own benefits (e.g. Kaneki, Asa). This dichotomic character is a result of Uta's violent upbringing in the 4th Ward. The horrendous things Uta has witnessed and heard reaffirmed his belief that the world can only love humans, never ghouls. In such an uncaring world, Uta can only see and feel a cold void for the future. Tired of despairing and to prevent himself from going mad, Uta and the Clowns indulge in manipulating world events as the "fools" and hedonistic slaughter to gain a sense of being "alive". Only after having a heart-to-heart chat with Yomo Uta gained a new perspective on his view of the world. Uta is someone who does not like change and expressed his inability to change himself in an ever-changing world. Itori has noted that it is only through Yomo's guidance and support that Uta can open himself to change and new possibilities
