Known Personality

The very first thing one would note about Nagachika Hideyoshi is his unending optimism. He’s always the type to yell, cheer, and cry out his feelings; be they positive or dramatically negative, he’s the type of person who seems to come across as, quite literally, living sunshine. He’s the type of person who can befriend and get along with just about anyone he comes across, his attitude being carefree, easygoing and easily adjustable to peoples’ moods. The fact that his best friend is Kaneki Ken--a shut-in who has no other friends except the optimistic Hideyoshi, is proof enough that he has a personality that can break through even the tallest of walls and wrangle people into enjoying his company. At the same time, this sort of personality can be overbearing and kind of uncomfortable to those who aren’t so easily swayed by such an attitude, and he can tend to chase off--by accident--those who he’s talking to just by being too forward with his treatment of others.

It’s also worthy of note to how over accommodating he is as a person; that even when he’s brushed off, put aside, or lied to; he doesn’t seem to give a damn; deciding there’s possibly significant reasoning behind it. People not returning his calls, messages, or even giving him the thumbs up that they’re doing fine doesn’t trigger a reaction of anger or annoyance in him, but rather, just a constant feeling of worry and wonder to whether or not that person is okay. It’s shown most prominently when his best friend won’t get back in contact with him after he gets out of the hospital, keeping patience with him despite how it took literal weeks to get a word out of him after his intensive surgery. So long as his friends are safe and happy, he doesn’t give a damn about his own feelings or needs.

Hideyoshi can be extremely momlike; someone who takes care of those who seem to be in need for it. His role in the CCG is that of a sort of deliveryman, doing tasks as a sort of gofer, though his reasons for this are completely selfish, he seems to be entirely comfortable doing it anyhow. The same goes for his treatment of Kaneki, as most often he’s constant in calling him to make sure he’s eating or sleeping properly, even going so far as to leave him food as well as cooking instructions so that his friend is taking proper care of himself. Perhaps it’s because he knows someone without any parents needs this sort of care at some point in their life, being all too willing to fill those shoes if he’s the only one who can do it.

His interests and goals have been shown to be extremely spontaneous; and he’s easily influenced into doing, learning, and gaining new skills. Nagachika is someone capable of making decisions at the drop of a hat, such as to learn English just because he one day that he wanted to understand music that he often listens to, or to learn Kung-Fu because it looks cool on television.

Despite this carefree attitude and overly friendly personality of his, he’s rather adept at hiding another part of himself; the fact that he’s actually extremely attentive and sharp-minded. He’s capable of picking up on subtleties, finding out secrets and tying together information to figure things out in a nearly ‘Sherlock-like’ manner. He’s also extremely good at hiding this fact about himself behind his living sunshine demeanour, making it hard for people to see exactly how intelligent and quick-witted he actually is. He’s seen as extremely dangerous to have around ghouls, as he’s far too quick to figure things out, and the way he is, discovering what his best friend is would mean death for him. It’s hinted, however, that he’s already entirely aware of this fact since early on, proving exactly how sharp he is, but given that he’s also extremely in-tune with others’ feelings and situations, he keeps it a secret alongside everything else as to let life run as ‘normal’.

Hideyoshi is a determined man, and he doesn’t often let things get so far that he’ll give up on them. Be them small goals, or his relationships with others, he’s not someone who will let circumstances affect how he feels about things. Just because he’s ignored, doesn't mean he’ll stop caring about a person, and if he’s completely aware of being lied to, he doesn’t often take it personally. His relationships with others is far more important for something quite so petty, so he doesn't often pay any mind to it. Though, he isn’t someone who will just sit around and wait for things to happen, either, as when his best friend goes missing, he sets a goal of finding out what happened to him, even going so far as pushing his way into the ranks of the CCG, a group of people dedicating to destroying people like his best friend--just so he can possibly find and protect the man he’s lost. At the end of it all; he even accepts the ‘monster’ his friend had become, showing exactly how compassionate and caring a person Hideyoshi can actually be.
