Formerly a human studying Japanese Literature at Kamii University and living a normal life, everything was soon changed after he had Rize Kamishiro's kakuhou transplanted into him and became a One-Eyed Ghoul.After joining Anteiku as a part-time waiter, he learns how to live as a Ghoul and became known as Eyepatch .After being captured by Aogiri Tree, he was able to accept his ghoul side, forming a team with the goal of protecting the ones precious to him and "plucking out" people who threaten the place he belongs to. Because of his Kakuja's distinct appearance, the CCG gave him the nickname Centipede.
Appearance
As child, Kaneki had all the same features he has now as an adult. As a normal university student, Kaneki is a scrawny young man with little to no athletic background who prefers to read books. In his free time, he wears casual clothes. At work, he wears the standard Anteiku waiter uniform, consisting of black trousers and a grey waistcoat over a white dress shirt, and a brown necktie. Because he couldn't properly control his single kakugan that manifests in his left eye, he wore a medical eye patch to cover it.His ghoul mask shows resemblance to a leather gimp mask with an eye patch. It bares a lipless mouth that shows large, gnashing teeth, much like a restrained asylum monster. The bolts sticking out of his neck and the fact that he is an artificial ghoul gives him a Frankenstein theme.
After being tortured by Yamori for a period of ten days, his hair became white and his nails turned black due to heavy stress, anxiety, and continuous bodily regeneration. This condition is known as Marie Antoinette Syndrome. It is caused by extreme stress or emotional trauma like he had undergone. He also began wearing a form fitting black outfit when he had the intention of fighting as a ghoul, both for intimidation and practicality.
Personality
Kaneki is a shy and reserved person, with Hide
being his only close friend. He usually spends most of his time reading
books, mostly novels. He is extremely gentle and appears to be
optimistic most of the time. Influenced by his mother and a true
testament of modesty, he willingly takes blame and punishment from
others so that he can be someone who doesn't hurt people, but rather
"the person getting hurt". However, this lack of assertiveness normally
gets him bullied and taken advantage of
However, beneath his selfless and gentle nature is an underlying fear
of being alone. Ever since his mother died, Kaneki has developed his
personality to resemble his mother's. He despises the idea of solitude,
hence he tries to protect those dear to him so he would not have to face
his fears of being alone in the world.
This is perhaps his greatest weakness and act of selfishness.
Since Kaneki is always trying to protect others, he is essentially
trying to protect himself from becoming alone again. Therefore to escape
that scenario, he would shoulder the task of protecting other onto
himself without looking for others to help him. This is also the reason
why Kaneki seems to reject the notion of "living" because to him,
watching others die before him is the beginning of returning to those
lonely days without anyone behind him.
After he was turned into a half-ghoul, he clings to his human
side. To keep his life in the human world, he began to work at Anteiku
and had built relationships with the ghouls there. Because of his
experiences, he had started to have interest in becoming stronger and
began reading martial art books so that he could protect himself and the
people close to him. He was troubled with the fact that he is a
half-ghoul and is searching for a place he can belong to. If people
close to him are threatened, Kaneki will try to protect them even he is
the one who gets hurt the most instead.
After his time being held captive during the Aogiri arc and
undergoing constant torture by the hands of Yamori, Kaneki's personality
changes. He becomes more ruthless and brutal in order to protect his
friends, all the while maintaining complete composure. He no longer
fears his ghoul side and as a result, he becomes much more cold and
barbaric during battles such as when he began eating Yamori's kagune in
order to strengthen himself. By embracing his ghoul nature wholeheartedly, Kaneki has given up being "human".
While still capable of showing his previous gentle nature to
those he cares about, he can automatically turn merciless with a blink
of an eye against his enemies or those he does not trust, such as
Tsukiyama. Banjou hypothesized that Kaneki has developed some form of
mental instability during his time in the 11th ward and that this would
gradually wear him down.
After raiding Kanou's lab and attacking Banjou, Kaneki begins to
revert back to his old personality from before the Aogiri Arc. However
he enters a period of soul-searching, seeking to reclaim his human side
as well as becoming uncertain about the path he has taken to become
stronger. He also starts to really question and seek answers from
individuals such as Uta, Yomo, and Yoshimura in order to understand the
incidents that have happened around him since he turned into a ghoul.
Whenever he is near-starvation and loses control of his Kagune or
kakuja, he seems to develop a personality that emulates Rize and
Yamori.
