Hachi Kasamatsu

Hachi Kasamatsu, also known as **Arachnid**, is an Aogiri ghoul living in the 11th ward, whilst working as a butcher in his meat market **Tsuyoiniku** in the 14th ward.

## Appearance

An exceedingly tall man of staunch build. His facial structure is of fair skin, green eyes, very short brown hair styled in a buzz cut, and a grimy looking five o clock shadow. He always dresses in long sleeved clothing during the day to hide his scars and tattoos, relevant to his history and "Extra-curricular" activities.

He's grown more confident on his missions with Aogiri, dawning an outfit unique to himself while on the job. He wears a sleeveless, padded turtle neck and black jeans he had custom made for many of his antics to be done comfortably. Because of his sleeveless appearance, one of his tattoos is shown to be on his left arm. Extending from his wrist to the end of his upper arm, there lays a tattoo of a spider web ending with a purple pattern, the origins of it being unknown.

His daytime appearance changed as of the end of the Spotlight Arc as well, with his beard growing longer with a shaggy appearance despite maintaining a full, even look, and his hair having a bit more length on top.

## Personality

Hachi is introverted, very unfriendly towards most people, especially humans, he hates them very much, only holding up his status as a meat selling butcher to dissuade suspicion of his ghoul identity, and is to a certain degree sadistic towards them. He has many anger issues, and is only completely comfortable with ghouls and even then has trust issues towards many, but is very good at hiding it. He has a loneliness complex, having panic attacks and anxiety when rethinking his childhood which consisted of just that. He has an unusual obsession with spiders.

## History

His past before he was of the age of 17 is still unknown besides his abusive mother "leaving" the picture, but what came after that was what came back to haunt Hachi. When he was just a teen, he met a girl named Haruko, whom opposite to himself led a normal life as a ghoul with her family. As the relationship progressed, Hachi learned from her how to live in the open, and found it easier to interact with other humans and meet people. Hachi took up a job as a construction worker and had plans to go to school, until a series of still unspoken events occurred in which Hachi disappeared, Haruko having been pregnant by the time he ran, and him not returning to civilian life until years later.

As revealed in Hachi's Web, Rei Hirata meets Hachi 19 years after the incident, and the two discover that she is his daughter.
