District 1 (Central) is the main stronghold of the CCG. It houses the headquarters of investigators, research laboratories and senior management. For most ghouls, appearing here is tantamount to a death sentence.
The 4th district is the district of artisans and informants. It is known as the place of work of Uta (his mask workshop Hypsy's Art Mask Studio) and Itori (Helter Skelter bar). In the past, there have been bloody clashes between Uta and Yomo.
The 6th District was an area under the control of Shu Tsukiyama ("Gourmet") and his wealthy clan. Known for its exquisite aristocratic atmosphere and hidden supply points.
The 7th district is the epicenter of entertainment and elite crime. It is here that the famous secret Ghoul Restaurant is located, where wealthy ghouls put on bloody shows and cram people for exquisite meals.
District 11 is one of the most dangerous and unstable areas in Tokyo. Banjo used to rule here, but the area was later completely taken over and destroyed by the Aogiri Tree organization, which turned it into their fortified military base.
The 13th district is a hotbed of wild violence and street gangs. This is where Yakumo Oomori (Jason) and Naki come from. The area is famous for constant wars for territory and the cruel nature of the local inhabitants.
The 14th district is an area with a high concentration of lone ghouls and illegal information points. Those fleeing the CCG or large groups are often hiding here.
The 20th district is a relatively quiet, dormitory and "peaceful" area (at first glance). The area of responsibility of the Anteyku café, where ghouls try to live unnoticed, without committing unnecessary murders and avoiding the attention of the CCG.
District 23 is the location of Kohlea, a highly guarded underground CCG prison for the detention and interrogation of high-security ghouls of S, SS, and SSS ranks.
District 24 is a deep, unexplored underground space beneath Tokyo. A vast labyrinth of ancient tunnels and caverns, home to the wildest ghouls and the deep secrets of their species' origins.

Anteiku Café is a small, cozy and seemingly ordinary coffee shop in the 20th district of Tokyo, which actually serves as the main refuge for ghouls seeking peaceful coexistence with people. Here, ghouls receive free food, help and protection, and in return they pledge to comply with the laws of the café, not to hunt people in the 20th district and behave as discreetly as possible.
Who works at Anteika:
Cousin Yoshimura (Manager) is the founder of the coffee shop and a wise mentor to all its inhabitants. In fact, he is a legendary ghoul of SSS ("Indestructible Owl") rank. He created "Anteika" to atone for the sins of the past, help the weak and teach ghouls to live among people.
Renji Yomo (Forager) is a silent and incredibly strong S-rank ghoul who is Yoshimura's right-hand man. He is engaged in the hardest and most dangerous work - collecting the bodies of people who have committed suicide in order to supply the coffee shop with food supplies without committing murders.
Touka Kirishima (Waitress) - A short-tempered but caring ghoul girl who combines her high school studies with working in a café. She became one of Kaneki's first mentors, teaching him the intricacies of survival and the etiquette of working with human clients.
Ken Kaneki (Waiter Trainee) is the main character of the story, who has become an artificial half-ghoul. He gets a job at Anteyka to learn how to control his hunger, brew coffee and understand how to balance between the world of people and the world of ghouls.
Angie Koma (Head Waiter) - A former leader of the brutal Enen (Devil Monkey) gang who became a good-natured and boastful waiter. Responsible for communicating with visitors, teaching Kaneki, and maintaining a fun atmosphere.
Kaya Irimi (Waitress & Branch Manager) - A former leader of the Black Dobermann gang who has become a calm, elegant, and loyal café employee. Together with Koma, it forms the combat core of the Anteika defense.
Nishiki Nishio (Waiter) - A former enemy of Kaneki, joins the café team to lead a quiet life and earn a living.

Leadership and key figures
One-Eyed King and One-Eyed Owl (True Leader): At the head of the organization is the mysterious One-Eyed King, whose identity has been hidden for a long time, as well as Eto Yoku (the real identity of One-Eyed Owl), a powerful SSS-rank ghoul, writer Sene Takatsuki, and one of the founders of Aogiri. It is she who holds the real threads of management of the organization in her hands.
Executive Directors (Squad Commanders):
Tatari / Yakumo Oomori ("Jason") is a brutal SS-rank sadist in charge of torture and security operations (until his death).
Ayato Kirishima was a junior Tokyo rebel and a strong SS-rank fighter who commanded combat units.

The Nashiro and Kurona Yasuhisa twins, as well as other recruited fighters and gangs from different parts of Tokyo.
Ideology and methods
Unlike the peaceful café Anteiku, which preaches secrecy and coexistence, Aogiri professes the principles of social Darwinism: "the strong survive, the weak die." The organization takes over entire neighborhoods, carries out brazen attacks on detention facilities (such as the storming of Kohleya Prison), conducts brutal experiments with the help of Dr. Kano, and openly terrorizes CCG investigators. Their ultimate goal is to break the established balance of the world and prove that ghouls have every right to stand at the top of the food chain.

Kaya Irimi (better known by her nickname "Black Dane") is a legendary ghoul woman with a formidable past who found a quiet refuge as a waitress and branch manager of the Anteyku Café. Outwardly, Kaya looks like an attractive, elegant middle-aged woman with a neat cut of dark hair and a calm, penetrating gaze. In everyday life, she wears the modest and neat uniform of an Anteyka employee, and during combat sorties she wears a dark cloak and a characteristic mask in the form of a dog morha with a bared mouth.
By nature, Irimi is a reasonable, calm, loyal, and caring woman with a sharp mind and strong intuition. In the past, she was the ruthless leader of the brutal Black Dobermann gang of ghouls who terrorized District 20 and confronted CCG investigators. However, after meeting Yoshimura, her worldview changed dramatically: she left the bloody craft and devoted herself entirely to protecting the civilians of Anteiku, becoming a reliable support for younger employees.
Her daily life and habits are related to keeping order in the café, serving customers, preparing specialties, as well as friendly but caustic squabbles with Angie Koma about whose gang was cooler in the past.
In battle, Kai Irimi is an extremely dangerous SS-rank opponent. Her main weapon is the ukaku-type kagune, which grows out of her back in the form of paired wings that resemble the dark silhouette of dog paws or bat wings. She has phenomenal movement speed, is able to attack enemies with a hail of sharp projectiles from a distance, as well as set up deadly ambushes using incredibly quiet and stealthy tread.

Kotaro Amon is one of CCG's most dedicated, principled, and talented ghoul investigators, whose fate has epitomized the complex and tragic struggle between humans and ghouls. Outwardly, Kōtarō appears to be a tall, exceptionally muscular, and athletic young man with strong-willed features, a short cut of dark hair, and a firm, determined gaze. He wears strict business suits of an investigator, which emphasize his massive figure and composure, and on large-scale operations, he wears a protective CCG uniform. By nature, Amon is an incredibly honest, diligent, fair and straightforward person with a strong sense of duty. In his youth, after the tragic death of his adoptive father (the ghoul priest Donaro), he hated all ghouls, considering them to be the absolute evil that destroys the world. However, as he encounters reality and meets Ken Kaneki, his black-and-white perception of the world collapses: Amon begins to deeply doubt the fairness of the system, showing mercy, compassion and a desire to understand the true nature of the conflict. His daily life is subject to an iron discipline: it consists of exhausting physical training, collecting evidence, compiling analytical reports and reading religious and philosophical books. In battle, Kotaro Amon is a formidable and powerful fighter with outstanding physical strength, endurance, and honed swordsmanship technique. He is a master of several quinques, among which the "Doe" (cocaku-tip) in the form of a heavy sword stands out, as well as the "Arrat" (cocacu-tip) - formidable armor that completely covers the body and gives tremendous protection in exchange for the load on the body.

Akira Mado is a talented and ambitious ghoul investigator of the first class (later senior investigator), the daughter of the legendary Kureo Mado. Outwardly, Akira is a very beautiful, slender and elegant girl with neat blonde hair, which she usually braids into an elaborate braided hairstyle, and cold, penetrating light green eyes. In clothing, she is strict and impeccable: she prefers the perfect business suit of a CCG investigator with a tie and shoes with small heels, emphasizing her composure and professionalism.
By nature, Akira is an incredibly intelligent, reserved, pragmatic and cold-blooded girl with ironclad discipline. At first glance, she may seem too dry, detached and arrogant, but behind this façade there is a deep emotionality, worries about the loss of her parents and sincere concern for her subordinates and partners (such as Kotaro Amon and later Haise Sasaki). She puts logic above emotions in her work, but remains honest and faithful to her principles.
Her daily life is entirely devoted to work: she spends long hours analyzing reports, studying the biology of ghouls, and developing tactics. Among her habits are a passion for cats (she has a pet), a love of alcohol (in a drunken state, she becomes unexpectedly frank and emotional), as well as impeccable observance of working subordinate etiquette.
In battle, Akira demonstrates a high level of skill, excellent analytical skills, and excellent command of several quinques. Her main weapon is the Amatsu kuinke (bikaku/kokaku hybrid type), which combines a flexible whip and a sturdy blade for close and medium range, and the Fueguchi II kuinke (rinkaku-type), created from Ryoko Fueguchi kagune.

Kurona Yasuhisa (also known as Kuro) is Nashiro's twin sister who survived the same cruel experiments by Dr. Kano and was turned into an artificial one-eyed ghoul. Outwardly, Curona is a slender and graceful girl with long pitch-black hair that creates a striking contrast to her sister's white hair. During operations, she wears a long black hooded cloak emblazoned with "Aogiri" symbols, and her face is hidden by a mask with vertical stripes and a hole for her right kakugan.
By nature, Curona is the more determined, stubborn, purposeful and emotional of the sisters. The death of her parents in childhood left a deep mark on her soul, forming an absolute attachment to Nashiro. For the sake of protecting her sister, Courona is ready to take any risks and extremes. Despite her outward coldness towards those around her, deep down she retains the ability to compassion, though her loyalty to Dr. Kano has blinded her for a long time.
Her daily life and habits were completely centered around guarding Kano's lab, following his orders, and constantly caring for Nashiro, with whom she was an inseparable pair.
In battle, Kurona (S-rank) is a deadly fighter who inherits the kakuhō of Rize Kamishiro. She owns a rinkaku-type kagun in the form of several flexible, powerful, and durable tentacles capable of instantly piercing the armor and kuinke of opponents. Paired with her sister, she demonstrates impeccable teamwork, phenomenal speed, acrobatic agility and high regeneration rate.

Nashiro Yasuhisa (also known as Shirou) is one of the twins who fell victim to Dr. Kano's cruel experiments and were turned into artificial one-eyed ghouls. Outwardly, Nashiro is a slender, fragile girl with long snow-white hair and pale skin, in contrast to her twin sister Kuro. In operations, she usually wears a long white hooded cloak emblazoned with the "Aogiri" symbol, and her face is hidden by a mask with a vertical stripe and a single hole for the left kakugan.
By nature, Nashiro is reserved, silent, introverted, and deeply devoted to her sister Kurona. The loss of her parents as a child left a deep trauma in her soul, making her distrustful of the world, but she and her sister found salvation and purpose in life in unconditional love for each other and loyalty to Dr. Kano. Unlike the more aggressive ghouls, Nashiro acts without unnecessary cruelty, focusing solely on protecting his family.
Her daily life is completely subordinated to carrying out Kano's errands, guarding the laboratory and taking care of her sister, with whom they almost never part.
In battle, Nashiro is incredibly dangerous and acts in a perfect duo with Kurone. Inheriting Rize Kamishiro's kakuho, she possesses rinkaku-type kagune, flexible, sturdy tentacles that can easily pierce the kuinke and flesh of her opponents. Nashiro is characterized by high speed, agility and impressive regeneration, which makes her a strong and well-coordinated fighter.

Hideyoshi Nagachika (also known as Hide) is Ken Kaneki's best friend, a student at Kamei University, and an incredibly astute young man who has played a pivotal role in Tokyo's history. Outwardly, Hide looks like an ordinary, friendly, and smiling guy with disheveled blonde hair and an open, affable expression. He prefers to wear simple and comfortable youth clothes: caps, bright hoodies, T-shirts and jeans, which allows him to easily blend in with the crowd and not attract unnecessary attention. By nature, Hideh is a cheerful, incredibly quick-witted, empathic, loyal and courageous person. Possessing outstanding intuition and a sharp mind, he guessed the secret nature of his friend Kaneki long before the official discoveries, but preferred to hide this knowledge, continuing to sincerely support and protect it. Hideh is completely devoid of prejudice, he knows how to find an approach to a variety of people and has an amazing ability to notice the slightest details, while remaining the soul of any company. His daily life and habits involve studying at university, researching the urban environment, participating in student activities, as well as working part-time at CCG as an intern investigator, where his analytical skills have helped to solve many complex cases. As an ordinary human, Hide does not possess kagune or the supernatural powers of ghouls, but his main weapons have always been his brilliant intellect, fearlessness, incredible loyalty to friends, and willingness to sacrifice himself to save Kaneki.

Nishiki Nishio is one of the key characters in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, having gone from a cynical and aggressive loner to a loyal ally of the Anteiku Café and a brave fighter. Outwardly, Nishiki looks like a tall, slender and fit young man with expressive facial features, a neat short haircut of ash-blonde or orange-brown hair. His invariable detail of appearance is his stylish decorated glasses in thin frames, behind which he hides his gaze. In everyday life, he prefers to wear simple but practical student clothes: hoodies, sweaters, jeans and jackets, and while working at the Anteyku café, he wears a strict waiter's uniform.
By nature, Nishiki initially appears to be a rude, short-tempered, cynical, and extremely distrustful ghoul, willing to commit violence for the sake of his own survival and the defense of his territory. However, behind this harsh mask lies a vulnerable soul and deep loyalty to those he sincerely loved, which manifested itself in his touching and selfless relationship with the human girl Kimi Nishino. For the sake of her, Nishiki is ready to risk his life and fight to the last, gradually softening and becoming much more sympathetic, although he retains his sarcastic manner of communication and love of sarcastic barbs.
His daily life and habits are closely linked to his studies at the Faculty of Pharmacy at Kamei University, where he studies diligently, immersing himself in chemistry and medicine, as well as his work at the Anteyku Café, where he helps brew coffee and maintain order. Nishiki loves to spend time with Kimi, carefully hides his nature from random people and jealously guards his fragile peace.
In battle, Nishiki Nishio is a dangerous and incredibly tenacious opponent (later given by CCG as S-rank and codenamed "Snake"). His main weapon is a bikaku-type kagune, which grows from his lower back in the form of a long, flexible, and sturdy tail that resembles a snake's body. Nishiki masterfully uses it to deliver lightning-fast, whipping blows.

Shu Tsukiyama, widely known in ghoul circles as "The Gourmet," is one of Tokyo's most dangerous, eccentric, and influential ghouls, belonging to the wealthy and aristocratic Tsukiyama family. In appearance, Shu is an impeccably dressed young man with refined manners, neat purple hair, and a piercing gaze. He favors elegant three-piece suits and expensive fabrics, always looking as if he stepped off the cover of a fashion magazine. His vocabulary is peppered with French and Italian phrases, and his gestures are imbued with theatrical grace. Tsukiyama is a complex mixture of refined aesthete and ruthless, cold predator. He is obsessed with gourmet pursuits, turning the process of hunting and eating into a perverse high art. Shu is incredibly intelligent, ambitious, and vain, but beneath his gallant façade lies an unstable, obsessive psyche. When his plans fail or he experiences a crippling hunger, his demeanor falls away, revealing a hysterical, fanatical, and dangerous monster. His unhealthy obsession with Ken Kaneki (or rather, the unique aroma and flavor of his half-ghoul flesh) has long driven him as his primary obsession. His daily life revolves around luxurious apartments, elite human social events, and secret gatherings of ghoul high society, where he enjoys exquisite "dishes" and maintains connections with influential criminal figures. In combat, Shu Tsukiyama is an elite and extremely dangerous SS-ranked fighter. He wields a kōkaku-type kagune, which forms from his right shoulder blade into a spiraling sword or drill, resembling a deadly rapier-like blade. Tsukiyama masterfully wields it, using it for swift, armor-piercing thrusts or twisting it into a sturdy shield. In combat, he combines acrobatic agility, superhuman speed, and a frantic fighting spirit, making him so feared by both CCG investigators and other ghouls.

Yakumo Oomori (better known by his nickname "Jason") is one of the most violent, sadistic, and dangerous ghouls in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, having held the high position of executive director of the Aogiri Tree organization. Outwardly, Yakumo appears to be a large, powerful, and formidable man with a shaved head, scars on his face, and a frightening, insane look. Due to his habit of cracking his fingers, he acquired a characteristic gesture that was later adopted by Ken Kaneki. He prefers to wear strict classic suits or loose shirts that emphasize his massive figure and physical strength. By nature, Yakumo is a convinced sadist, psychopath, and tyrant who takes genuine pleasure in inflicting physical and mental suffering on others. His brutality stemmed from the horrific torture he endured at the hands of CCG investigators in Kohleia Prison, and turned into a ruthless executioner himself. Despite all his cruelty and bloodlust, he is able to feel loyalty to those who are stronger than him, and show a kind of respect to those who have been able to earn his trust, as was the case with Naki. His daily life and habits involve searching for victims, brutal interrogations in secret hideouts, and maintaining strict and intimidating discipline among his subordinates. In battle, Yakumo Oomori is incredibly dangerous and has the rank of SS. His main weapon is a powerful rinkaku-type kagune, which grows from his lower back in the form of huge, heavy tentacles capable of piercing any armor and delivering devastating blows.

Ayato Kirishima is a strong, cocky, and arrogant ghoul who is the younger brother of Touki Kirishima and the former executive director of the Aogiri Tree organization. Outwardly, Ayato looks like an attractive young man with disheveled blue-black hair and a cold, defiant look. He prefers to wear dark youth clothing, jackets, or cloaks, and during Aogiri operations, he hides his face behind a signature long-nosed mask resembling a rabbit (mirroring his sister's mask). By nature, Ayato is short-tempered, aggressive, cynical, and prone to rudeness, often showing disdain for those around him and stating that in the ghoul world, the strongest survive. Behind this tough mask and contempt for humans and weak ghouls lies a deep affection for his sister and a desire to protect her from danger, though his pride has long hidden his true motives behind his ostentatious aggression. His daily life and habits are associated with constant training, following the cruel orders of the Aogiri leadership, and his constant rivalry with Touka, the memory of whom he carries through all the trials. In battle, Ayato is extremely dangerous and possesses the rank of SS. His main weapon is a powerful ukaku-type kagune that grows from his shoulder in the form of large wings. Ayato is able to use them both for rapid flight and maneuvering, as well as for creating a dense hail of crystalline projectiles or turning a wing into a massive, sharp blade for close combat.

Angie Koma (known by the nickname "Monkey Devil Child" or "Devil Monkey") is a charismatic ghoul and one of the key employees of the Anteyku Café, working as a head waiter. Outwardly, Koma looks like a middle-aged man of pleasant appearance with a neat short cut of dark hair, a narrow slit of the eyes and an invariable good-natured smile on his face. In cafes, he usually wears the neat uniform of an Anteika waiter, and during combat operations, he wears a distinctive beige cloak with a hood and a mask in the form of a monkey's face. By nature, Koma is an incredibly cheerful, boastful, sociable and friendly person who loves to tell the younger generation (especially Kaneki) exaggerated stories about his past exploits. Despite her slight foolishness and passion for bikes, Angie has high wisdom, dedication and responsibility. In the past, he was the cruel and fearless leader of the Enen (Monkey) Gang who held the 20th District at bay, but after meeting Yoshimura, he completely changed his views and embarked on the path of peaceful coexistence with humans.
His daily life at Anteika consists of brewing coffee, teaching Kaneki the craft of waiting, caring for customers, and joking with Kayama Irimi ("Black Dog").

His invariable attribute is a cigarette, which is almost always clenched between his teeth, and in clothes he prefers loose shirts, raincoats or practical suits of the investigator, emphasizing his rebellious and independent disposition. By nature, Itsuki is an incredibly straightforward, sharp, short-tempered, cynical, and loud person who does not mince words and openly criticizes both the higher management and the bureaucracy within the organization. Despite his harsh language and bad character, Marude has a brilliant strategic mind, a deep understanding of combat tactics, professional cynicism and sincere concern for the lives of subordinate investigators, whom he seeks to protect from senseless death. His daily life and work consist entirely of developing complex military operations, commanding large detachments, checking weapons and endless smoking in his office or at command posts. In battle, Marude prefers to rely not on personal exploits, but on large-scale firepower, heavy weapons, coordinated actions of squads and powerful quinques, being on the front lines as a commander.

Iwao Kuroiwa is an experienced, harsh, and highly respected Special Class Ghoul Investigator at CCG, who has served with the organization for many years and has become a legend among his colleagues.

By nature, Kuroiwa is an incredibly cold-blooded, silent, reserved, and disciplined fighter. He has an iron will and colossal self-control, never succumbs to panic on the battlefield and always fulfills his duty to the end.

As his primary weapon, he uses the Partridge 1/3 (Rinkaku-type) kuinke in the form of a long sword, and if necessary, he also wears heavy mechanical armor "Arat" (kokaku-type), which drastically increases his defensive and offensive capabilities, allowing him to fight on equal terms with SSS-level ghouls.

Juzo Suzuya (real name Rei Suzuya) is one of the most vivid, eccentric, and deadly ghoul investigators in the CCG, known for his unique fighting style and extraordinary thinking. Outwardly, Juzo looks like a slender androgynous young man with snow-white hair, held in place by red hairpins in the form of the Roman numeral XIII, and expressive, slightly crazy eyes. There are many red decorative stitches on his body, neck and arms, which he applies to himself. In clothing, he prefers a loose white shirt with rolled up sleeves, suspenders with a bright pattern, rolled up trousers and red slippers. By nature, Juzo is a childishly spontaneous, hyperactive, cheerful, but absolutely devoid of a sense of fear and moral constraints, which was a consequence of his terrible and cruel past as the "pet" of the ghoul Big Mdam. Due to the torture he suffered as a child, he feels little physical pain and has difficulty understanding the norms of human morality, but over time, under the influence of his mentor Yukinori Shinohara, Juzo becomes genuinely attached to him and begins to appreciate the lives of his squadmates.
His daily life and hobbies are closely related to embroidering stitches on his own body, eating sweets (he loves candy and donuts), as well as drawing and playing games in between investigations.
In battle, Juzo has phenomenal flexibility, acrobatic agility, lightning-fast reactions, and out-of-the-box thinking. His main weapons are the Scorpion 1/56 (Rinkaku-type) kuinke, a set of 56 deadly throwing knives that he hides under his shirt and deftly wields at any distance, as well as the massive, devastating Jason 13 kuinke scythe (kocaku-type), created from Yakumo Oomori's organ and capable of easily cutting through even the toughest ghoul armor.

In battle, Arima is second to none: he has phenomenal reactions, speed, and swordsmanship skills. Over the course of his career, he has proficiently wielded several of the strongest kuinke created from SSS-level organs of defeated ghouls, including the Yukimura 1/3 (a kokaku sword), the IXA (a transforming spear shield), and the legendary Narukami (a ukaku weapon that fires devastating electrical discharges).

Uta is one of the most stylish, mysterious, and eccentric characters in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, known as a talented ghoul mask maker and an old acquaintance of Renji Yomo. Outwardly, Uta appears as an attractive and fashionable young man with dark hair, shaved temples, numerous tattoos all over his body, and distinctive black sclera eyes with red pupils, which he usually hides under sunglasses or bangs. His casual style of dress gravitates towards gothic, rock and street fashion: he wears stylish leather jackets, jewelry, belts and loose shirts that emphasize his informal image. He has a gentle manner, loves to communicate and joke, giving the impression of a harmless and eccentric artist, although behind this relaxed mask hides a cold-blooded and dangerous ghoul with a dark past in the 4th district, where he was once a formidable leader.

In battle, Uta is incredibly strong and dangerous, although he prefers to avoid unnecessary conflicts. He possesses a versatile ukaku-type kagune, which allows him to transform, create sharp blades, harnesses, and use his unique ability to imitate and copy the appearance of other people or ghouls, making him an extremely difficult and unpredictable opponent.

Having gone through many bloody wars and large-scale operations, including the assault on Kano's laboratory and the battle with the one-eyed "Owl", Shinohara made a huge contribution to the history of the CCG.

Naki is a flamboyant and eccentric ghoul who grew up in the harsh 13th arrondissement, where he was constantly roaming and fighting other ghouls. One day, he confronted Yakumo Oomori (Jason) and challenged him to a duel, not knowing who was in front of him; after losing the fight, Naki begged for his life, and Yakumo granted his wish.

Her favorite hobbies since childhood have been reading books and learning complex kanji, which she was initially encouraged to do with the help of Ken Kaneki, who has become like an older brother to her. Hinami loves spending time with books, learning new things, and caring for her loved ones.
After her parents' deaths at the hands of investigator Kureo Mado, she found a home at the Anteiku café, where Touka and Kaneki became a true family. Hinami's greatest asset is her rare chimeric kagune, inherited from both her parents. Two types of organs emerge from her back simultaneously: durable, scaly kokaku wings for perfect defense and four flexible, powerful rinkaku tentacles for swift attacks. Hinami also possesses phenomenal hearing and smell, allowing her to scan vast distances and detect enemies in advance.

Kimi Nishino is one of the most vibrant and sincere supporting human characters in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, known for her loyalty, strong character, and complex relationships with ghouls. Physically, Kimi is an attractive and sweet-looking student with long blonde hair and expressive eyes, who prefers to wear simple, comfortable casual or university clothes. Personality-wise, Kimi is distinguished by incredible courage, insight, independence, and a profound understanding, combining a gentleness in her interactions with loved ones and remarkable fortitude in the face of mortal danger. In everyday life, she studies at Kamei University, the same university where Ken Kaneki once studied, and is in a romantic relationship with upperclassman Niki Kishio, for whom she was willing to accept his true ghoul nature, despite the horror and risk to her own life. Her favorite hobbies and habits include diligent study, a natural interest in biology and medicine, careful observation of others, and a genuine desire to protect those she cares about. As an ordinary human, Kimi possesses no kagune or combat abilities, but her incredible powers of observation allowed her to independently deduce Kaneki's identity and Nika's nature long before the truth was revealed to her. Having endured the horrific kidnapping by Shu Tsukiyama and encountered the cruel world of ghouls, Kimi demonstrated a rare composure, accepting this world without hysteria or hatred, earning the sincere respect of Touka and the other characters.

Misato Gori is a minor but memorable investigator in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, serving loyally in the Counter-Ghoul Agency (CCG), assigned to the 13th and 20th ward units. Physically, Misato is a very tall, strong, and stately woman, approximately 180 centimeters tall, with short dark or lilac hair and a piercing, stern gaze. Due to her height, androgynous appearance, a distinctive mole on her forehead, and her preference for wearing formal men's combat uniforms or pantsuits instead of skirts, others often mistake her for a man. Personality-wise, Misato is a highly professional, serious, determined, energetic, and passionate CCG employee. She is deeply devoted to the organization's ideals and has enormous respect for senior officers like Iwao Kuroiwa, but can also be overly blunt and blunt. Her daily activities are entirely focused on investigating ghoul crimes, patrolling sectors, and preparing for large-scale enforcement operations, including the memorable assaults on the Aogiri Organization's hideout and district cleansing. Her hobbies and habits include rigorous training, maintaining iron discipline, and strict oversight of the squad's combat readiness, though beneath her stern and menacing exterior lies a vibrant individual capable of genuinely admiring strong colleagues like Kotaro Amon. Misato uses the organization's issued quinque "Emerio" as her primary weapon and combat tool. It is a rare type of ukaku, designed as a specialized firearm or structural weapon with durable serrated edges, allowing for effective combat at medium ranges. Having endured difficult trials and large-scale, bloody wars with ghouls, she continues to fulfill her duty as an investigator, protecting the fragile balance of the human world.

Yoriko Kosaka is one of the kindest, most sincere, and brightest characters in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, playing a key role in the life of Touka Kirishima. Physically, Yoriko is a sweet, neat teenage girl of average height with short brown hair styled into two small ponytails and warm, expressive eyes. She prefers to wear a standard school uniform or simple, comfortable casual clothes, emphasizing her modest and cheerful image. Personality-wise, Yoriko is incredibly caring, sympathetic, cheerful, and empathetic, always aware of the moods of those around her and trying to support them in any difficult moment. Yoriko's greatest passion is cooking: she loves to prepare a wide variety of dishes, experimenting with recipes, and constantly sharing her cooking with others, especially her best friend Touka, unaware that human food tastes terrible to ghouls. In everyday life, she diligently studies in high school and later begins working as a cook and assistant chef, dreaming of a life in the culinary arts. Yoriko is a simple human, so she lacks a kagune or combat abilities, but her greatest strength lies in her boundless kindness, loyalty, and pure heart, thanks to which she bestowed upon Touka the warmth of the true human world and genuine friendship.

Kanae von Rosewald (real name Karen von Rosewald) is one of the most tragic and devoted figures in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, the last surviving member of the German aristocratic branch of the Rosewald family. Physically, Kanae appears as a graceful, tall, and refined young man with neat, short, violet-green hair, expressive eyes, and an aristocratic bearing. To conceal her feminine nature and maintain her status as a servant in the Tsukiyama household, she disguised herself as a man, wearing formal, expensive suits, white shirts, and gloves, and maintaining impeccable manners. Personality-wise, Kanae is incredibly proud, emotional, passionate, and deeply lonely, whose life and thoughts are completely subordinated to her boundless love and fanatical devotion to Shu Tsukiyama. In her daily life, she served as the Tsukiyama family's loyal butler and servant, enjoying classical poetry, rose gardening, exquisite art, and brewing fine tea, all the while suffering from unrequited feelings for her master. In combat, Kanae wields a rinkaku-type kagune inherited from her family, which manifests as powerful, barbed tentacles or blades with high penetrating power. Later, after brutal torture at the hands of Eto Yoshimura, her kagune transformed, becoming massive and devastating organ-like constructs, similar to kakuja armor, with colossal regeneration and insane combat power.

Kazuichi Banjou is one of the most vibrant, loyal, and good-natured characters in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, playing a vital role in the fate of Kaneki and those around him. In appearance, Banjou is a tall, large, and muscular man with a strong build, coarse black hair, a small beard, and distinctive facial features, which at first glance might make him appear stern and even dangerous. However, his appearance completely belies his inner self. Personally, Banjou is incredibly kind, compassionate, sentimental, gentle, and loyal. He is completely unprone to unnecessary cruelty, genuinely cares for those around him, and is willing to risk his life for his friends, though he can often be clumsy, overly emotional, and easily moved to tears. Initially, Banjou led a group of ghouls in the 11th ward and was forced to work under pressure from the Aogiri organization. However, after meeting Ken Kaneki and being impressed by his strength and ideas, he became his loyal comrade and follower. His daily hobbies and habits revolve around constant concern for his comrades, attempts to protect the weak, and a tendency to loudly and emotionally express his feelings when it comes to justice or the safety of his friends. Furthermore, Banjou has a long-standing and unrequited crush on Rize Kamishiro, leading him to harbor deep feelings for her and attempting to find her for a long time. In combat, Banjou remained a weak fighter for a long time, as his soft nature prevented him from fully controlling and summoning his combat organ. He later developed an ukaku-type kagune, which grows from his lower back in the form of small wings or growths that give him decent speed, but his main feature and unique ability was his outstanding physical endurance and rare ability to quickly regenerate and even heal wounds in other ghouls, which made him an invaluable protector and "medic" in Kaneki's team.

Manager Yoshimura, also known by his true name, Cousin, and the terrifying nickname, One-Eyed "Owl," is one of the most respected, enigmatic, and powerful characters in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, serving as the wise leader and founder of the peaceful café, Anteiku. Outwardly, Yoshimura appears to others as an elderly, kindly, gray-haired man with soft features, a peaceful gaze, and a calm smile. He always wears a formal vest and barista apron, perfectly maintaining the image of a harmless old man. However, beneath this peaceful façade lies one of the most powerful SSS-level ghouls, capable of transforming into a monstrous, multi-eyed creature with gigantic kakune wings. Yoshimura is an incredibly kind, compassionate, wise, and patient mentor. He sincerely strives to help weak ghouls who have fallen to the bottom of society, teach them to live peacefully with others, and find their place in life, all the while deeply remorseful for his brutal, bloody past. His daily life and work revolve entirely around the Anteiku café, where he personally manages the establishment, brewing the finest coffee for customers and coordinating all the organization's activities, including helping to find food for those ghouls unable to hunt for themselves. Among his favorite habits and hobbies are quietly reading newspapers over a cup of freshly brewed coffee, leisurely philosophical conversations with the staff, maintaining the cleanliness of the café, and watching his young charges gradually find harmony. In combat, Yoshimura utilizes an incredibly powerful ukaku-type kagune, which allows him to unleash a hail of deadly projectiles, achieve colossal speed, and completely encase his body in kakuja armor in the form of a fearsome owl, possessing devastating strength capable of confronting entire squads of elite CCG investigators.

Renji Yomo is one of the most loyal and stoic characters in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, Yoshimura's right-hand man and the bulwark of Anteiku's security. A crucial detail: Renji is Hikari Kirishima's brother, making him Touka and Ayato's uncle. After their parents' deaths, he secretly looked after them and helped them survive in the 20th ward. Yomo is a tall, muscular man with stern features, close-cropped hair, and a somber gaze. He wears practical dark clothes and gloves, radiating an inner calm. His personality is taciturn, loyal, prudent, and selfless. In the past, he experienced a thirst for revenge for his sister, but after finding peace at Anteiku, he subdued his anger and now takes on the most difficult jobs—for example, collecting the bodies of people who committed suicide to provide the café with food without unnecessary killing. In combat, Yomo is an elite SS-ranked fighter (Grim Reaper). He wields a rare ukaku-type kagune, which sprouts from his back in the form of massive wings capable of generating bolts of lightning and pure electrical energy to paralyze enemies. In close combat, he combines immense strength, hand-to-hand combat, and speed.

Touka Kirishima is the story's central character, a formidable ghoul fighter and the older sister of the hot-tempered Ayato Kirishima, with whom she shares a complex and strained relationship due to their opposing views on life. Physically, Touka appears attractive with short, blue-violet hair, bangs covering one eye, and piercing violet eyes. In human society, she appears as an ordinary, pretty student and worker. When hunting, confronting the CCG, or protecting loved ones, she dons her signature suit and the famous rabbit mask with long ears, earning her the nickname "Rabbit" from investigators. Her personality combines incredible toughness, prickliness, irascibility, and determination, which help her survive in a cruel world, with a deep devotion to those she cares about, for whom she is willing to fight to the death. In everyday life, she tries to fit in as much as possible among people, attending school and university, and her main place of work is the cozy café "Anteiku," where she works as a waitress, expertly serving customers and brewing coffee, despite being forced to hide her true nature and subsist on human flesh. In battle, Touka uses an ukaku-type kagune, which grows from her shoulder in the form of one or two glowing wings of light, granting her tremendous movement speed, the ability to fly, and release destructive crystals from a distance. However, due to the weakness of this type, she quickly becomes exhausted during prolonged battles. Among her characteristic habits are a tendency to express her opinions bluntly and bluntly, tapping her fingers in frustration, and her caring yet reserved nature toward her close friends and café colleagues.

Before his brutal torture and personality change, Ken Kaneki was a quiet, shy, incredibly kind, and gentle literature student at Kamei University. At that time, he had naturally dark hair, brown eyes, and the unassuming appearance of an ordinary book lover who preferred to spend all his free time reading his favorite novels in quiet cafes or libraries. He was characterized by deep empathy, a reluctance to hurt anyone, and a habit of blaming himself, rather than others, for all his problems. After his transformation into a half-ghoul turned his world upside down, Ken desperately tried to preserve the remnants of his humanity, feared his new nature, avoided killing, and clung with all his might to his familiar life, working as a waiter at the cozy café Anteiku. His trademark habit in those days was thoughtfully touching his chin or cheek with his fingers while speaking, as well as genuine embarrassment at any attention from others, especially when it came to his studies or books. Ken Kaneki possesses a rinkaku-type kagune, inherited from Rize Kamishiro, which grows from his lower back in the form of powerful, flexible tentacles. This type of combat organ is characterized by incredible destructive power, outstanding regeneration, and high attack speed, making Kaneki an extremely dangerous opponent in close combat. In the early stages of his transformation into a half-ghoul, Ken struggled to control his kagune and could only extend one or two tentacles due to his lack of experience and poor nutrition. Over time, his combat potential grew, the number of tentacles increased, and their strength and flexibility allowed him to easily pierce the thick armor of other ghouls and successfully confront powerful CCG investigators.

CCG stands for the Counter-Ghoul Commission, a secret government agency tasked with investigating, capturing, and eliminating ghoul crimes to protect ordinary people. The organization's structure consists of two main categories of investigators: senior and junior investigators, as well as elite, top-tier investigators who lead operations and possess extensive combat experience. Regular investigators use specialized firearms with RC cell bullets during patrols and raids, but the elite investigators' primary strength lies in their quinques—unique and deadly weapons crafted by CCG scientists from the kakune extracted from defeated ghouls. Because quinques are crafted from the ghouls' own organs, they inherit their properties and types, giving each weapon its own unique characteristics and fighting style. Ukaku-type investigators wield a light, fast, and long-range quinque, allowing them to attack from a distance and fire devastating energy or physical projectiles, but such weapons quickly drain the wielder's strength. Kokaku-type investigators wield heavy, durable swords, blades, or massive protective shields, ideal for powerful, crushing strikes and absolute defense, but are heavy. Rinkaku-type investigators wield flexible tentacles or whips, possessing colossal penetrating power and inflicting immense damage in close combat. Bikaku-type investigators use balanced tail-based quinques, which are versatile in all situations, boasting excellent speed and maneuverability with no obvious weaknesses. Some exceptional investigators, such as the legendary Kotaro Amon, Mado, or Arima, can use multiple quinques at once or switch between them depending on the battlefield situation, making them incredibly dangerous opponents even for the strongest SSS-level ghouls and kakuja wielders.

To conceal their true identities from CCG investigators and avoid detection while hunting, ghouls use elaborate masks that completely cover their faces, as their kakune shape and scent make them easily identifiable. However, their approach to camouflage and stealth varies: some ghouls lead a quiet double life, carefully disguising themselves as ordinary people, avoiding unnecessary publicity and wearing masks only for survival. While others, more aggressive or psychopathic individuals, openly disregard caution, revel in the fear of others, ostentatiously wearing their intimidating masks, and making no attempt to conceal their nature from the outside world.

Ghouls' primary vulnerability is the specialized weapon used by CCG investigators—the quinque, crafted from the kakune of other ghouls—as conventional bullets and blades simply bounce off their thick skin. Besides the quinque, they are also susceptible to lethal damage from projectiles and special agents saturated with concentrated RCC cells. An additional weakness is chemical RCC suppressors and specialized serums that temporarily neutralize their superhuman abilities, leaving them vulnerable. Furthermore, severe hunger and prolonged deprivation of food deplete a ghoul's strength, slowing their regeneration and potentially leading to loss of control over their body, while critical damage to key areas of the body incapacitates them while they recover.

About the nature of ghouls: Ghouls are indistinguishable from humans in appearance, but subsist only on human flesh and coffee. Regular food makes them vomit. They have superhuman strength, speed, and regeneration. Regular weapons and bullets cannot penetrate their skin.
Kakugan (Eyes): When hungry or excited, the whites of the eyes turn black and the irises bright red.
Types of kagune (fighting organs) and the rock-paper-scissors system:

1. Ukaku (shoulders/back): Wing-like, long-range attacks, and projectile fragments. Fast, but drains stamina quickly. Strong against Bikaku, weak against Kokaku.
2. Kokaku (shoulder blades/arm): Dense and heavy, similar to armor, swords, or shields. Slow, but possess immense defense and striking power. Strong against Ukaku, weak against Rinkaku.
3. Rinkaku (Loins): Tentacle-like, with terrifying regeneration and immense destructive power. Fragile in structure, but overwhelming in numbers and strength. Strong against Kokaku, weak against Bikaku.
4. Bikaku (coccyx): Tail-like. Versatile fighters with balanced speed and strength, good in close combat. Strong against Ukaku, weak against Rinkaku.
   Ghoul Danger Classes (CCG):
   SS / SSS: Elite, extremely dangerous ghouls (e.g., one-eyed, kakuja-wielding). They destroy entire squads of investigators.
   S/A: Dangerous, experienced ghouls capable of giving a serious rebuff to high-class investigators.
   B/C: Common, less dangerous, or novice ghouls.
   Kakuja: A mutation resulting from cannibalism (eating other ghouls). The ghoul becomes covered in kakune armor, similar to that of a monster, gaining insane strength but often losing their mind.
   Ghoul Physical Strength and Agility: Ghouls possess immense strength and durability, far exceeding that of humans. Ghouls are capable of incredible running speeds, leaping enormous distances onto building rooftops, and landing easily from great heights, completely absorbing the impact without sustaining any injuries. This makes them elusive and dangerous predators in the city at night.
