# List of Tokyo Ghoul characters

The following article is a list of characters from the manga series Tokyo Ghoul.

## Main characters
### Ken Kaneki (金木 研, Kaneki Ken)

    Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae (Japanese); Austin Tindle (English)
    Played by: Masataka Kubota
    The main protagonist of the story, Ken Kaneki (金木 研, Kaneki Ken) is an seventeen-year-old black haired university freshman that receives an organ transplant from Rize, who was trying to kill him before she was struck by a fallen I-beam and seemingly killed. After the operation Kaneki develops ghoul-like tendencies and characteristics, and his rationality begins to wane. As one that now doesn't belong to humans or ghouls he struggles to keep his ghoul identity secret, always fighting against his ghoul side while trying to continue to live like a normal human. He later works as a waiter for Anteiku under Yoshimura's guidance. After his fight with a CCG investigator named Amon he gains the name Eye Patch (眼帯) because of his mask's design and becomes somewhat famous after a ghoul saw him defeating the investigator. He loves to read and is normally quiet and reserved but can also be calculating when fighting. He has a bad trait of easily trusting strangers which sometimes puts him in life-threatening situations. After being kidnapped by the ghoul run organization known as Aogiri Tree, he is mercilessly tortured by a sadistic ghoul named Yakumo Ōmori (Yamori), and later develops similar traits to his torturer. While being tortured he has hallucinations of Rize in which she mocks him about his mother, leading to him finally embracing his inner ghoul. In the manga at chapter 61, Kaneki's hair slowly changes color from black to white. In the anime, Tokyo ghoul, his hair changes instantly after eating Rize and accepting his ghoul side. He then goes on and eats his torturer, Yakumo Ōmori. His view on strength changes and he goes on a power hungry path by cannibalizing other ghouls in order to get stronger. The continued cannibalization led him to become a half kakuja, where he develops a centipede shaped kagune and gains the alias Centipede (百足). After the incident at Kanō's Lab, Kaneki begins to regret this path and begins reflecting on his actions and motives. After being defeated and captured by Arima, Ken loses his memories and is given the new identity of Haise Sasaki (佐々木 琲世, Sasaki Haise), member and ace of the Mado Squad, and mentor of the Quinx Squad, a special unit composed of artificial ghouls. Despite having a new identity, Haise still retains some traits from his former self, like the love for reading and the determination to protect his companions with his life. When pressured to the limit, Haise has glimpses of his former self and unlocks his powers as a ghoul, forcing the CCG to strike him with RC suppressors to calm him down. Haise usually has an internal conflict with his past self, fearing that one day he would lose his current life with all his new friends and personality, which intensifies as he obtains more information about his former life until the raid at the Tsukiyama Headquarters, when he finally regains his memories and accepts his identity as Kaneki, not only showing a ruthless demeanor when facing his enemies, but a cold attitude toward his current and former allies as well. Haise's achievements allow him to quickly climb among the CCG's ranks, being promoted to First Class after the raid at the human auction and receiving a special promotion to Associate Special Class after single-handedly driving away the One-Eyed Owl during the raid at the Tsukiyama Headquarters, becoming known as the Black Reaper (黒の死神, Kuro no Shinigami), until he betrays the CCG to help Tōka rescue Hinami from the Cochlea, releasing the other ghouls imprisoned there in the occasion. After Kaneki defeats Arima, he claims for himself the title of One-Eyed King (隻眼の王, Sekigan no Ō), who according to Eto, has the potential to break the current status quo between ghouls and humans. For that purpose, he assembles the surviving members of Aogiri, the inmates from Cochlea rescued by him, several rogue CCG Investigators, and his old friends from Anteiku into a new organization called "Goat" which hopes to bring peace between humans and ghouls. After his fight with Juzo, he lost all his limbs and after all of his personalities argue about what to do, he consumes all the oggai squad (a new group of artificial ghouls made by Kano) and becomes a giant mass of kagune. He was later rescued by Tōka and the members of the Quinx squad. After regaining consciousness, he reunited with his best friend, Hideyoshi, whom he thought was dead.

### Touka Kirishima (霧嶋 董香, Kirishima Touka)

    Voiced by: Sora Amamiya (Japanese); Brina Palencia (English)
    Played by: Fumika Shimizu; Maika Yamamoto
    A seventeen-year-old ghoul of the 20th ward, Touka works part-time as a waitress in Anteiku and attends high school. She blends in well with human society and believes that keeping one's ghoul identity is of top most priority. She normally has a calm demeanor, but can be rash and somewhat aggressive, stemming from the fugitive life she had to live after CCG killed her father when she was very young. She is a powerful fighter who is more than a match for either Shū Tsukiyama or Nishiki Nishio on even grounds, though not nearly as strong as Renji. She becomes Kaneki's guide to the ghoul world as well as his training partner. She also takes up the role as Hinami's guardian after her parents are killed by investigators and is very protective of her. She later comes to be known as Rabbit (ラビット, Rabitto) after attacking some investigators as revenge for what happened to Hinami's mother, killing one of them in the process. Touka is also shown to be self-aware, as after she killed an investigator that was involved in the murder of Hinami's mother, she admits that a murderer such as herself deserved to die because killing for revenge is wrong. Despite her overall rash personality, she is a naturally kind girl who takes her job as a part of the Anteiku stability team very seriously. She also has a younger brother; Ayato, whom she raised before they both started to live in the 20th ward. Her brother would later join Aogiri Tree because he did not like the fact that she enjoys living among the humans. This is made very apparent after she starts attending high school and talks fondly about Yoriko to him. Later on, Touka has revealed to Yoshimura that she has an interest in biology, particularly where humans and ghouls are concerned, and expressed that she would want to be a teacher in the future. After the time-skip, she is seen running a new coffee shop called ":re" with Renji. Touka also appears to have matured some in that she is calmer and has a less aggressive demeanor than in her teenage years. She is fully aware of Kaneki's new identity, but is unwilling to force him to remember his past, although she admits that she is ready to support him should it happens and he decides to reunite with her, which he does once he defects from the CCG, mending their relationship and later becoming lovers. After consummating their relationship, it is later revealed that Touka is pregnant with their child and they got married. Like Yoma, her mother, Touka, can produce lighting from her Kagune though this was done accidentally in her fight with Special Class Kiyoko Aura and Mougan Tanakamaru during the Third Cochlea Raid.

## Supporting characters
### Rize Kamishiro (神代 利世, Kamishiro Rize)

    Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa (Japanese); Monica Rial (English)
    Played by Yū Aoi
    Rize was a girl with glasses that Ken encountered who tried to eat him after luring him out on a date with her. Parts of her body are transplanted into Ken after she is struck by fallen iron construction parts. Before the construction incident, Rize was a member of V, assigned to breed with the members of the Washū family, but escaped with Furuta's help. She was a very powerful, fearless and merciless ghoul, often preventing other ghouls from hunting in areas which she stole from them. She came to the 20th ward after wreaking havoc in the 11th ward, attracting the CCG Investigators to it. Before leaving, she killed the ghouls that were in charge and caused a shift in power. She is known as the "Binge Eater" by investigators and like Ken, she was very fond of reading. Originally believed to be killed during her encounter with Ken, it is later revealed that she is still alive and her body was used to produce materials for Ghoul/Human experiments by Dr. Kanō, with Ken's transformation into a ghoul being the result of one of them. She is later rescued by Yomo. However, she is captured by Nimura Furuta and subsequently merged with the Dragon. She is eventually killed by Kaneki in his attempt to put an end to the Dragon's rampage over Tokyo.

### Shū Tsukiyama (月山 習, Tsukiyama Shū)

    Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano (Japanese); J. Michael Tatum (English)
    Played by: Shota Matsuda
    A troublesome ghoul of the 20th ward with a well-known reputation: ghouls wouldn't even get involved with him. He is known as the "Gourmet" by investigators and is one of the most difficult ghouls to capture, especially because he hails from a powerful and rich family of ghouls with connections in the government. He is a part of the "Ghoul Restaurant" under the alias MM. He is a very powerful, cunning, smug, and fashionable ghoul and was also an acquaintance of Rize. Like both Ken and Rize, he is an avid reader. He sometimes says words or phrases in either English, Spanish, French or Italian, and develops an obsession for Ken because of his seemingly unique quality of being human and ghoul. He is very athletic and proficient in martial arts. After being a part of Kaneki's team post-Aogiri he considers himself Kaneki's best friend; at this point it was never clear if he had truly seen Kaneki as more than just food. After the time-skip, Shū gets devastated with Kaneki's disappearance until he is informed of his new identity as Haise and starts conspiring to have him remember his past, until his family's secret is exposed and his entire clan is put on the CCG's hit list. He is cornered by Kaneki, who apparently attacks him without mercy, but does not give him a fatal blow, allowing him to escape and be rescued by Chie, Yomo, and Tōka. He later helps out Naki and Miza Kusakari as they are being attacked by investigators.

### Yoshimura (芳村)

    Voiced by: Takayuki Sugō (Japanese); Sean Hennigan (English)
    Played by: Kunio Murai
    The manager of Anteiku, also known as the Non-Killing Owl. The name came from him pretending to be the One-Eyed Owl to cover up her behavior and refusing to kill Ghoul Investigators. He is a very kind and reasonable ghoul that provides aid and food to ghouls that are incapable of hunting on their own, such as Hinami. He takes Ken in after he becomes a half-ghoul and teaches him the ways in which ghouls can blend in with humans. He has shown to be able to reform ghouls from their violent ways, like helping both Koma and Kaya find peace among themselves when the two were leading large and hostile ghoul gangs against each other. He has also helped Yomo to let go of his hate and vengeful attitude towards ghoul investigators and is a father figure to Tōka. He has a mysterious past related to Aogiri and an elusive organization known as V. After Anteiku's secret is exposed and the place is raided by the CCG, he is captured by his daughter, Eto, and given to Kanō for his experiments. He used to go by the name Kuzen (功善).

### Hinami Fueguchi (笛口 雛実, Fueguchi Hinami)

    Voiced by: Sumire Morohoshi (Japanese); Lara Woodhull (English)
    Played by: Hiyori Sakurada
    Hinami is a 13 to 14-year-old ghoul that came to the 20th ward with her mother after her father was killed by ghoul investigators. She is very shy and quiet, yearning for knowledge as she isn't allowed to go to school. She meets Ken in Anteiku and becomes attached to him after he helps her with reading and the pronunciation of certain kanji characters. She begins living with Tōka after her mother is killed by Kureo Mado but later goes with Kaneki post Aogiri though she would still visit Tōka. This is changed in the anime as she does not go with Kaneki and stays with Tōka instead. She enjoys books from one of Ken's favorite authors, Sen Takatsuki (Eto Yoshimura) and loves learning new things. She is shown to have a heightened sense of smell, even more powerful than regular ghouls. In the sequel she reappears as part of Aogiri Tree known as Yotsume (ヨツメ, Yotsume), and once captured by the CCG, she is put under Haise's care by his request, which is a temporary situation, as Akira intends to have Hinami executed to enact revenge for her father's death. However, a restored Kaneki betrays the CCG in order to rescue her. Her kagune is special among ghouls; unlike most who only have one type, Hinami has two, one from each of her parents. Her kagune include two wing-like growths used as shields from her mother, and two bladed whips from her father.

### Nishiki Nishio (西尾 錦, Nishio Nishiki)

    Voiced by: Shintarō Asanuma (Japanese); Eric Vale (English)
    Played by: Shunya Shiraishi
    A ghoul who is a second year student who attends the same university as Ken. He is arrogant and hates it whenever his juniors talk back to him. He is very territorial and is hostile to other ghouls that invade his space. His hunting grounds were stolen from him by Rize after a fight which he lost and he tries to reclaim it after her death, but is stopped by Tōka. He is a loner and fairly good fighter that even small groups of ghouls tend to avoid. Like Tōka, he blends in well with human society, he even has a human girlfriend Nishino Kimi (voiced by Yurie Kobori in Japanese and Caitlin Glass in English) who is aware of his ghoul identity, and is well known at the university. After the time skip, he becomes a powerful S~rank ghoul known as Serpent (オロチ, Orochi), and goes around hunting down and killing CCG investigators as well as other ghouls. He seems to have a great dislike towards both CCG and Aogiri Tree commenting that they are the same and disgusting for creating "fake" ghouls. He reappears on Rushima Island to confront Kanō but fails to capture him. His kagune is a tail-like formation that wraps around his leg and enhances the strength of his kicks beyond those of his rank. In later chapters, this formation has grown in size and can be used as a separate weapon resembling a bident.

### Hideyoshi Nagachika (永近 英良, Nagachika Hideyoshi)

    Voiced by: Toshiyuki Toyonaga (Japanese); Clifford Chapin (English)
    Played by: Kai Ogasawara
    Hideyoshi is Ken's best friend, nicknamed "Hide". He has a sharp intuition, so much so that while Ken tried to keep his ghoul identity hidden from him, Hideyoshi seemed to know something is weird about his best friend. Hide has proven to be intelligent and very observant, even figuring out that Rabbit (Tōka) was not Hinami like what CCG had first thought. He will also go to extreme lengths for those he cares about, like venturing to Aogiri's hideout and putting a tracking device on the torturous Yamori. After Ken disappeared, Hideyoshi joined the Anti-Ghoul forces in order to learn about his whereabouts, eventually being promoted to Rookie Investigator and partnered with Kōtarō and Akira. He eventually reunites with Ken and reveals to him that he knows he is Eye Patch, getting himself seriously injured during the raid of Anteiku in the anime and reported to be missing in the manga after speaking to Kaneki, with his fate unknown since then, though it is implied in Tokyo Ghoul: Re that he allowed himself to be consumed by Kaneki in order to have his friend recover for his fight against Arima. He later reappears in some form within Kaneki's mind as a confidant and a physical representation of his compassion. Much later in the sequel, he is revealed to be a misidentified ghoul known as Scarecrow by the CCG. He appears to be leading or at least a part of a terrorist organization whose only goal so far has been to re-take the CCG from Furuta.

## Ghouls
### Anteiku/Black Goat

A small neighbourhood café in Tokyo's 20th district, Anteiku is run by Ghouls who intend to blend into society. Providing aid and food for ghouls in need, managing the feeding grounds of the ghouls in the 20th Ward, and collecting food for ghouls by searching for the bodies of humans who committed suicide. It becomes Kaneki's home until the place is raided by the CCG in the end of the original series. Almost all of its original staff become core members of Kaneki's Ghoul coalition "Black Goat", after he assumes the title of One Eyed King.

#### Renji Yomo (四方 蓮示, Yomo Renji)

    Voiced by: Yūichi Nakamura (Japanese); Phil Parsons (English)
    Played by: Shuntaro Yanagi
    Renji is a quiet and reserved ghoul. He is an expert coffee brewer, although he does not work for the shop anymore as his customer service was lackluster, with most describing him as intense. He then began to procure suicide victims for consumption for ghouls who were either too weak or did not wish to hunt for human prey. Before working for Anteiku he used to be violent and temperamental, much like Tōka from the first series, and would often fight with Uta making the 4th ward uninhabitable. They realized that a battle between them would lead to mutual death, and have been friends since. He also swore revenge on the CCG for killing his older sister but later sees the errors of his ways due to Yoshimura's guidance. He is known to CCG as Raven due to his mask resembling the bird as well as his kagune's pitch black color. Regardless of his cold demeanor he does genuinely care about those around him. He is later seen again with Tōka, working at the ":re" coffee shop. It's later revealed that he is Tōka and Ayato's uncle, who kept his identity a secret from them after their parents' deaths, despite watching over them closely since then. His kagune are two massive pitch black wings with a typical ukaku function in firing projectiles. However, he has an extra special ability to fire lightning-like bolts and also conduct electricity.

#### Enji Koma (古間 円児, Koma Enji)

    Voiced by: Anri Katsu (Japanese); Tyson Rinehart (English)
    Played by: Kenta Hamano
    An experienced and humorous waiter at Anteiku, frequently acting as manager when Yoshimura is not in. Though he looks harmless, in truth he was once the leader of a violent gang and was called the Devil Ape. He, as well as his friend Kaya, was once a violent and destructive ghoul, and he renounced these ways after Yoshimura's guidance. He emerged from retirement to defend Anteiku as The Devil Ape, leading his old gang of monkey masked ghouls, who once occupied the 20th Ward. The fight leaves him severely wounded and at the Investigator's mercy until he is saved by Kaneki. He escapes through Route V14 with Kaya, and manages to pass by Arima while he was busy fighting Kaneki. His kagune resembles that of a monkey's tail, and is completely prehensile. He uses it not for combat, but rather for repositioning quickly. He is also humorously drawn with a large, bulbous nose.

#### Kaya Irimi (入見 カヤ, Irimi Kaya)

    Voiced by: Fuyuka Oura (Japanese); Morgan Mabry (English)
    Played by: Nozomi Sasaki
    One of the waitresses at Anteiku, she is a quiet and reserved woman. She was formerly the leader of the dog masked gang Black Dobers and nicknamed the Black Dog prior to encountering Yoshimura, and was rehabilitated by him. Like Enji, she and her old gang come out of retirement, and follow her into battle knowing they will die when CCG raids Anteiku. Presumed to be killed in the occasion, she reappears in the battle of Rushima Island, assisting the ghouls against the CCG. Her kagune resembles dual beetle-like wings with typical ukaku function: firing projectiles. However, her greatest strength lies in her hearing, which she can use to detect location and movement through different sound waves. This ability works without visual aids, and gives Irimi a kind of sixth sense where she can predict attacks as they begin, giving her ample time to counter.

### Clowns

The Clowns is a mysterious group responsible for the accident that led to Kaneki receiving Rize's organs. They later appear in the sequel as the proprietors of an auction for wealthy Ghouls to buy humans which is later broken up by the CCG.

His eyes are his most striking feature, as his irises are permanently red and his sclera permanently black, he has tattooed his eyes to look this way, it's later revealed that he has had ink injected into his sclera. Despite his appearance he is a very calm ghoul, and speaks very kindly and amusingly, with a rather aloof personality. He is known to CCG as "No Face", because of his mask's design. In the past he would often get into fights with Yomo and this caused the 4th ward to become uninhabitable. They realized they would not survive if they fought to death, and have been friends since. He did not reveal his kagune for an exceptionally long time, which was revealed to be duplicating tails. In addition, he possesses a level of regeneration beyond nearly any other ghoul revealed in the series, as well as a unique shapeshifting power that allows him to change his facial features and his voice with near perfect accuracy.

She's also revealed to be the founder of the Clowns and adores the idea of Kaneki as a tragic hero, and wants to see him suffer more because it "makes him beautiful". In the past she was defeated by Tsuneyoshi Washuu, and was later imprisoned in Cochlea's SS level under the alias "Gypsy" until she was freed during Aogiri's attack on the prison.

As an Aogiri executive, she goes under the name Eto (エト). She enjoys breaking people by picking on their insecurities and according to Sasaki, she lost all hope long ago. She becomes obsessed with Kaneki since she sees their circumstances very similar. Not only is her scent neither human nor Ghoul, but she appears to be fully capable of consuming human foods without issue. Her massive kakuja is a mask like-head with four horns and a single eye in the center of the mask with a huge smiling mouth. She is, however, able to alter its appearance, spawning extra appendages, such as eyes, mouths, and limbs if she wills it. She revealed to her subordinates that she isn't the One-Eyed King.

#### Direct Subordinates

    The Second-in-Command of Aogiri, a cunning Ghoul with former ties to a group of ghouls known as Chi She Lian, originating in mainland China. He typically does not fight, and mirrors Renji Yomo on Anteiku as he follows his leader (Eto) around as Yomo follows Yoshimura. He never shows emotion and treats all of his subordinates as expendable, unless Ghoul Investigator Kōsuke Hōji appears or is even mentioned. This is because Chi She Lian was destroyed in part by Hōji, who personally killed Tatara's brother and one of his good friends. He first reveals his kagune to be a massive growth with a special pyrokinetic ability. He gravely wounds Seidō Takizawa (Hōji's partner) in this fight, who is later experimented on and is turned into a psychotic ghoul. In his final appearance, he and Takizawa prepare to fight Hōji and his fellow investigators. However, Takizawa betrays Tatara and kills him with ease in Tatara's surprise. Seeking validation from his former superior, Hōji tearfully orders Takizawa's death. However, Takizawa furiously slaughters Hōji's squad.

He possesses an unusual level of regeneration, allowing him to reattach his upper body when sliced in half. He is finally destroyed by a suicide attack from Shirazu during the raid on the Tsukiyama Headquarters, just to be revealed as nothing but a corpse, belonging to the former surrogate parent of Eto, under the control of her detachable kagune, which is retrieved by the CCG and converted into Urie's new Quinque.

##### Akihiro Kanō (嘉納 明博, Kanō Akihiro)

    Voiced by: Kenji Nomura (Japanese); Mark Stoddard (English)
    Played by: Ryo Iwamatsu
    The only human among the Aogiri's top members, Akihiro was the surgeon who transformed Kaneki into a half-ghoul. He used to perform illegal experiments with humans and ghouls in secret using Rize's body as a source of material until drawing the attention of Aogiri. Since then he continues his research, now sponsored by the organization with a yet unknown objective.
    With the CCG closing in on him and Kurona moments away from taking her revenge for experimenting and discard her and her sister, Kanou casually takes out a pistol and shoots himself in the head.

While at first seems harmless, the moment his first partner Shiki Kijima was killed, he revealed his true self and killed Matsumae. He is an alumnus of the Sunlit Garden, an agent of V, and originally was a half-human, but he had Rize's kagune implanted into him in secret with Kanō's help, transforming him into a half-ghoul strong enough to defeat SSS level ghouls like Eto, although if the other agents of V discover his Kagune he could be labeled as a possible target for execution as he performed the procedure in secret. He infiltrated the Clowns under the name Sōta (宗太), the Ghoul that provoked Rize's accident and collaborated with Dr. Kanō, thus collaborating with Kaneki's transformation into a half-ghoul.

Once all other members of the Washū family are killed, Nimura is instated as the new Bureau Director of the CCG and begins an aggressive campaign to wipe out all Ghouls not affiliated with him in the city, which is a ruse for his true objective, which is to capture Kaneki and use his body to create a massive creature known as the Dragon, which ravages the city of Tokyo, in order to revive Rize.

After defeating Ken, he takes him under his guard while he's under the new identity of Haise Sasaki and becomes his mentor, with orders to kill him should he go out of control. After Kaneki regains his memories and betrays the CCG, Arima confronts him once more, just to be defeated. Kaneki spares his life, but Arima opts to commit suicide instead. Before dying, Arima reveals that he, and all alumni from the Sunlit Garden are half-humans.

After his death, it is revealed that Arima was the one called by Eto as the One-Eyed King (隻眼の王, Sekigan no Ō), who was conspiring with her all along, waiting for a ghoul strong enough to break the current status-quo imposed by the Washū Clan to appear, and both died believing that Kaneki had become suited for such role, inheriting both his will to change the world, as well as his title.

#### Kuki Urie (瓜江 久生, Urie Kuki)

    Voiced by: Kaito Ishikawa (Japanese); Adam Gibbs (English)
    A Rank 2 Ghoul Investigator who was the Squad Leader of the Quinx Squad until he was replaced with Ginshi, but he regains the post after Ginshi's death. Kuki often displays himself as a cool-headed individual, but is reckless and vicious when confronting Ghouls, as he hates them with a passion, as his father was a special class investigator in charge of the S3 squad, who ordered his team members to retreat while he stayed to fight the One-Eyed Owl to the death. This hate also extended to Haise after he discovered that he is a half-ghoul instead of just a Quinx. He constantly acts reckless when facing ghouls to gain credit from his superiors; he wishes to be the best ghoul investigator ever. After the battle at the auction, he is promoted to Rank 1, and after the battle with Donato, he is promoted to First Class. Initially he was cold toward his comrades and did not care for them, seeing them as a nuisance and as tools for him to use to gain promotion. His obsession with promotion drives him throughout earlier parts of :Re. However, after going berserk and nearly killing Mutsuki, he slowly becomes less obsessed and starts to care more about his comrades, especially after Shirazu's death.

However, this doesn't stop him from going out of his way to execute missions without Sasaki's permission, and so he is constantly seen accompanying Urie on dangerous assignments without support. His primary motive for joining the Quinx Squad is to get fast money to treat his sister, who is ill with a rare disease, but his determination to help others earns him Haise's respect, to the point of nominating him as the new leader. After the battle at the auction, he is promoted to Rank 2, but during the ambush at the Tsukiyama Headquarters, he dies from his wounds after confronting and killing Noro from the Aogiri Tree. His body is later stolen by the Aogiri Tree and given to Dr. Kanō for the sake of his research.

Tōru struggles to keep his one eyed kakugan under control, much like Kaneki did in the past; he suffers from anemia, and also wears an eye patch similar to Kaneki. Ironically, he feels repulsed when he comes in contact with blood. After the battle at the auction, Tōru receives a double promotion to Rank 1, for putting himself in dire risk in order to grant the success of the operation. After Shirazu's death, Tōru leaves the Quinx squad and puts his ghoul-like superhuman sense of smell to use in investigations. After being captured and dismembered by Torso on Rue Island, Tōru regains his memories and finally consciously accepts that he held responsibility (not the ghouls) for the slaughter of her family. She remembers that she is actually a woman and not a man. Because of this incident, she was taken into the CCG and given the option of undergoing the Quinx operation. She accepts, but requests to live under the identity of a man because she has developed insecurities because of the childhood sexual abuse she suffered. It is revealed that she has a habit of torturing animals and collects tongues in a jar. It is also revealed that during the Auction operation, she had devoured the deceased CCG agents to replenish herself. After this sudden revelation on Rue Island, she brutally butchers and dismembers Torso and escapes. During her work at the CCG, Mutsuki's psychopathic behavior resurfaces; not only because of the torment she suffered, but out of an obsession with Kaneki, for whom she had become in love with. Tōru slowly slips further and further into madness, and decides to hunt Haise down to exterminate him.

She often oversleeps, which earns her the absence from most missions. She has an extremely impressive kagune manipulation ability among the Quinx, but rarely puts it to use because it is exhausting; thus, Haise uses her abilities to strike decisive blows after the rest of the squad have weakened the enemy.
