Main Characters
Ken Kaneki
A shy, literary-minded college student transformed into a half-ghoul. His journey from terrified outcast to white-haired fighter to Haise Sasaki and back again spans the full series, exploring identity, trauma, and the cost of accepting what you've become.
Touka Kirishima
A ghoul working as a café employee at Anteiku who resents humans but has learned to live among them. Her aggressive exterior masks genuine care for the people she protects, and her relationship with Kaneki is the series' emotional backbone.
Supporting Characters
Shū Tsukiyama
The 'Gourmet' — a ghoul obsessed with fine eating, including the rarest of flavors. Initially a villain, Tsukiyama evolves into a complicated, sometimes comedic, sometimes tragic figure in the later seasons.

Juuzou Suzuya
A CCG investigator with an unusual appearance and unpredictable behavior. His dark backstory and disregard for pain make him one of the most memorable (and disturbing) investigators in the series.
