Kasuka Mado (真戸 微, Mado Kasuka)[1] was an Associate Special Class Investigator. During an investigation in the 24th Ward, she was killed by the One-Eyed Owl.
Appearance
Although her face is not shown completely, it is strongly implied that Kasuka looks very similar to her daughter Akira, except her hair is styled flat. Like all the members of CCG, Kasuka wears a formal attire.
Personality
Despite little exposure of her character, Kasuka was shown to be brave and strong-willed as she had a face-off against the One-Eyed Owl alone. It is also known that she cared for both her husband and daughter greatly.
Plot
Like Kureo Mado himself, she was also a CCG investigator and they both went on a mission in the 24th Ward under the command of Itsuki Marude ten years ago. Unfortunately, they encountered the One-Eyed Owl during a deep investigation at the 124th floor. Knowing the slim chance for them to defeat Owl after the first few casualties, Itsuki ordered her, who was the best among their team, to hold off the Owl alone so others could retreat safely. She was killed and devoured on the mission, and the scattered remains of her body were later found by her husband. Her death had a major impact on both Kureo and her daughter Akira.[2]
Relationships
Kureo Mado
Kasuka's husband, they were known to have had a very loving relationship. Her brutal death has led her husband to despise the existence of all ghouls and seek vengeance towards the One-Eyed Owl.
In the early years however, Kasuka turned down Kureo's marriage proposal at first, due to not wanting to change her last name.[3]
Akira Mado
They shared a loving mother and daughter relationship. Her death has affected Akira greatly.
Kiyoko Aura
It's known that they were classmates together in the academy, and both were known to be strong and exceptional women in CCG.
Powers and Abilities
Akira states that her mother was an Investigator of considerable strength and skill, achieving a high rank at a young age. While serving alongside her husband and Marude, she was considered the most capable member of their squad.[2]
Trivia
- Kureo took her surname when they married, rather than the other way around. As such, Mado is her maiden name.[3]
