#tatara

During gameplay, Kogasa uses only three expressions, but in the game files you can find a lot more portraits that do not appear during dialogues. I've gathered the unused expressions in the collages below:

— As a kid Furuta used to catch butterflies and rip their wings off

— Arima had a really ugly cat that scared everyone and was supposed to die like 5 years ago but somehow it stayed alive and outlived Arima and nobody has seen that cat after

— As a kid Tatara would sometimes be afraid to sleep alone so he'd ask Yan to stay with him and by the morning Yan usually ended up on the floor because Tatara absolutely cannot sleep like a normal person

— Furuta drinks disgustingly sweet coffee

— Saiko loves brainrot memes

— Whenever Ui sees a "no smoking" sign, he usually goes like "oh, right, thanks for reminding me" and starts smoking right under the sign

— Houji doesn't believe in pronouns💀

— Takizawa is emo and as a teenager he was really going through it and was often in his room crying to My Chemical Romance

— Juuzou loves Saw movies

— Houji is a virgin💀💀

— When Tatara and Yan would play board games Yan would usually let Tatara win and Tatara is absolutely dogshit at board games

— Juuzou spammed Takizawa with brainrot memes or just stupid videos and Takizawa instead of changing his number just threw away his phone

Also while Takizawa was distracted Juuzou once changed his ringtone to some loud Chinese song

— If Furuta smoked he'd put the cigarettes out on his tongue

Ui once offered him to smoke together and after such sight he was really disgusted and never invited anyone to smoke with him ever again

...

Let me get this straight, you want to hug those people?

Their ages were never specified in the story so these are just my headcanons.

Regarding Houji's age, since he is older than Arima (29) and younger than Shinohara (37), I think he is somewhere between 31 and 35 when he first appeared in the og Tokyo Ghoul. I mostly headcanon him as 33.

For Tatara, it's more vague and it's mostly based on "how young do you think he was /when Yan was killed by Houji"

Look at this illust, guess his age, and add 5 to it, you will get Tatara's likely age at the start of Tokyo Ghoul. A clearer explanation (just my own speculation) can be found here. And yeah he was 18 at most when Yan died (18 is a generous number) because Tatara was not yet an adult when Houji first came to China, as implied by Ishida Sui in zakki:re.
