Appearance:

Suzuya is a young man with an androgynous appearance, characterized by fair skin and pristine shoulder-length white hair. Adorning his hair are red hairpins arranged in the shape of the Roman numeral XIII (13), neatly taming his bangs. His eyes, a deep shade of red, are marked by noticeable bags underneath. He self-stitches his own body, explaining it to be a form of body modification. A miniature set of red threads that appeared to be two x's are stitched on below his right eye. One below his bottom lip and a line of several stitching threads from his upper neck downward, and several more around his right arm and hand. His attire consisted of a white suit with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, left halfway buttoned and polka-dotted red suspenders that supported his black pants and a pair of red slippers. He frequently wore a black suit above all this, with rolled up sleeves.

Personality:

As a child, Suzuya's personality was somewhat normal, albeit a tad twisted, but as a result of Big Madam's treatment, he no longer felt fear, pain, nor did he have any morals. Yukinori Shinohara, his mentor, described him as a "problem child". Despite his childish and playful demeanor, he was also extremely violent and highly disturbed. He usually described his killing methods to be clean, without needless movements, which is a skill he seemed to take pride in. He shows no hesitation to kill someone. He even goes as far as to consider it a part of daily life, and lacks awareness of death's weight. Due to his past, he was blamed for the killings of multiple animals done by Goumasa Tokage and Tooru Mutsuki during his time being trained by the CCG, even though he was innocent. Suzuya was used as the scapegoat since nobody doubted he had committed the killings, which averted suspicions from the culprits who were truly responsible. Suzuya is generally distrusting of people who write him off as a problem child - he notices and hates people looking at him with certain "eyes," judging him. Because of his lack of emotional understanding, he was willing to confront any opponent head-on, no matter how dangerous they were. Originally, he showed no signs of empathy whatsoever and did not understand the emotions of others.

Abilities:

Suzuya possesses amazing physical abilities, allowing him to easily match most ghouls in combat. His physical abilities are so impressive that CCG personal claimed that he doesn't even need to attend the Academy and can enter active duty immediately, even though he was just a teenager. Superhuman Strength: Suzuya's strength substentially belies his slight build. Superhuman Speed: Suzuya is incredibly fast and nimble, able to move literally faster than the eye can see; in fact, even most ghouls can't keep up with him in combat. During CCG operations, he was often shown swiftly slaughtering multiple ghouls. Superhuman Agility: Similarly to ghouls, Suzuya can easily jump very high and manouver on narrow surfaces. During combat, he often employs flips and other impressive acrobatic feats. Pain Tolerance: Due to Big Madam's treatment, Suzuya became practically numb to pain. During his time with Big Madam, Suzuya could handle hooks going through the back of his body. Swordsmanship: Being able to use his quinque to destructive abilities, Suzuya can use the strength of his attacks to efficiently subdue ghouls.

Equipment:

Scorpion 1/56: A bikaku quinque that takes the form of a flat-headed switchblade. Having great skill with the blade, Suzuya can quickly pinpoint a throwing knife and easily execute ghouls. These quinques are simple yet effective.

Trivia:

His likes are sweets and ghoul hunting. His current obsessions are "serious hide-and-seek". Suzuya seems to have a particularly delicious scent when ghouls smell him. It is possible Suzuya is left-handed, as parts of his right arm are stitched, however, he wields his quinque knives with both hands suggesting he is more likely ambidextrous.

Biography (Childhood):

Rei Suzuya was kidnapped at a young age and raised as the pet of a powerful and influential ghoul known as Big Madam. He was trained to perform circus acts for ghoul customers, and earned "Good Boy Points" — Big Madam's deceitful system she used to torture him. Eventually, he began working in the Ghoul Restaurant as a Scrapper named "Juuzou." When he killed for the first time, he was sick for several days afterward but eventually his sense of morality faded. Big Madam, who he considered his mother, sometimes dressed him as a girl, and began to worry that he would become ugly as he matured into an adult. To prevent this, she performed a crude castration with a hammer and forced him to live as a girl. Eventually, the CCG raided her estate and forced her to flee. Rei was rescued and taken into custody, but his violent behavior caused great concern. Yukinori Shinohara spoke up in his favor, reminding the other officials that Rei was a victim and deserved a second chance. He attended the Academy Junior School at 16, where he was a classmate of Kurona and Nashiro Yasuhisa. There, he gained a reputation for strange and violent behavior — when a former interrogator employed as an instructor named Goumasa Tokage and later Tooru Mutsuki, began killing animals around the Academy, he was made a scapegoat to avoid scandal. As such, he was shunned by his peers and treated as an outcast. When he turned 19, Chairman Tsuneyoshi Washuu personally appointed him a Rank 3 Investigator. To complete his transition into his new life, he was given a new family registry and allowed to choose his own name. He decided on "Juuzou Suzuya," using the alias he had been given as a Scrapper. He was then assigned as the partner of Yukinori Shinohara and sent to the 20th ward.

Biography (Aogiri):

In his first appearance, Suzuya stole Ken Kaneki's wallet and began to scrutinize the latter's student ID, license, and money, saying that he could not get any sort of food with the three thousand yen he found. He later killed a gang of ghouls that had attacked him because he smelled delicious. After a police officer had arrested him for being suspicious, he was picked up by Shinohara and Koutarou Amon.
