Koutarou Amon

Amon Koutarou is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Touka Kirishima) of the Tokyo Ghoul franchise. He is the arch-rival and foil of Ken Kaneki.
He is a former A first class police investigator who investigates Ghouls, also known as a Dove. He comes to the 20th ward with his mentor, Mado Kureo, to investigate Ghoul incidents in the area. He has a strong sense of justice, fervently believing it is the right and moral thing to do to exterminate the Ghouls. He hunts the Ghouls in order to prevent more human children from becoming orphaned like himself, and he often works after hours to achieve his goals.
He wields a "Quinque" (a weapon made from the "Kagune" of a Ghoul) that has the appearance of a pole-arm with a large cylindrical bludgeon at the end.
During the Rushima Landing Operation, he revealed to be alive as a one-eye Ghoul.
He is voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Mike McFarland in the English version of the anime.
==Appearance==
Amon is a tall man with black hair and teal eyes. Due to his constant, vigorous training, he has an extremely athletic and muscular build.
Like most ghoul investigators, Amon usually wears a black suit with tie. If he leaves for an investigaton, he additionally wears a white overcoat on top of his suit. He also wears a necklace with a cross.
==Personality==
Amon is a stoic man with a great sense of justice and dedicated to his cause. It appears that his hatred for ghouls came when his adoptive father, Donato Porpora, was exposed of his crimes. This incident led Amon to believe that ghouls made the world wrong and that hunting ghouls would be the first and only step towards making it right. Initially, he believed all Ghouls to be monsters. Meeting Kaneki changes his worldview and leads to him desperately wishing to speak to him again. By the end, he doesn't outright change his views on them, but he does acknowledge that is isn't as clear-cut as he thought it was. Likewise, he felt responsible for certain situations that were beyond his control, as he feels ashamed for not being able to stop the priest that raised him from eating many of his classmates. He works for the CCG to prevent similar events from occurring.
