Appearance
Tsukiyama is a tall, attractive, young man with a gentle look likened to his mother's. He considers himself fashionable and usually dresses in European attire, though his sense of style is questionable.

His brightly blue hair was usually neatly combed, with a characteristic long fringe neatly swept towards the left.
He possesses a mask shaped like a crescent moon as a reference to his name.
Personality
Tsukiyama appeared to be a confident, friendly, and intelligent ghoul. However, these were merely acts to lure his "prey" into the Ghoul Restaurant and to conceal his eccentric, cruel, and selfish personality. He considered himself a strong predator who would seek to devour the finest meals he made of his "prey" and would not hesitate to resort to any merciless tactics in order to achieve his goals. As a result, he was disliked by most ghouls in the 20th ward. His interest in European literature and language was shown in his gestures and mannerisms, his dialogue often peppered with random phrases of English, French, and Italian.
