Pinyin: Zhū Lú; Wade-Giles: Chu Lu), was a direct subordinate of the One-Eyed King and one of Aogiri Tree's leaders.

He was from China and a former member of the Chinese ghoul organization Chi She Lian.

As one of the Aogiri Tree leaders and a trusted subordinate working under the One-Eyed Owl, Tatara came off as a rather loyal individual. He was portrayed as composed and stoic mostly, and carried himself with an effortless proud, commanding gait. He often monitored the activities of the Aogiri executives who killed in cold blood when embarking on a mission. He was also proud of his immense stamina when fighting and the accuracy of his calculations as well. Tatara seemed to have a taste for precision; as shown when he turned down Kaneki considering he was an artificial one-eyed ghoul. He held a grudge against Kousuke Houji, as he was one of those who killed the members of Chi She Lian, including his brother.

He has also been noted by Ayato Kirishima to consider his underlings to be mere peons, something he willingly confirmed.

Kagune

Bikaku Kagune: His kagune was capable of easily slaughtering an entire squad of CCG investigators before approaching Seidou. In Tokyo Ghoul √A, his kagune was seen for a brief moment before his confrontation with Seidou. His kagune in the anime looked like a large, thick, blood red tail, and in the manga, his kagune resembled a long, thin and skeletal tail and the tip of it resembled a spearhead.

Kakuja

---

Bikaku Kakuja: Having consumed countless ghouls, Tatara had developed a kakuja. It appeared as a large, muscular, and metallic armor with two large, elongated hammers that resemble flamethrowers connected to his shoulders and back along with and a wispy looking tail. His kakuja head was triangular and had a gap in the front of his head that could produce flames. Tatara's kakuja resembled a salamander.

Pseudo-Pyrokinesis:
Most uniquely, the emissions from his kakuja's highly concentrated Rc cells ignite, producing flames exceeding 4,000 degrees Celsius, being called a "tongue of flame" by Akira Mado. The flames were produced around his head and were constant. Tatara could change the quantities of fire produced, simply from a small stream in front of his face or a large wave of fire that could engulf multiple enemies in one quick attack.
