Kaneki Ken

Kaneki Ken is a central character in Tokyo Ghoul, a young man who is initially transformed into a half-human, half-ghoul hybrid following a tragic encounter with a ghoulish serial killer. Known for his evolution from an introverted, timid college student to a determined and morally complex individual, Kaneki's journey is marked by his struggle to balance his human identity with the instincts and powers of a ghoul. He carries a deep empathy for others, stemming from his own pain and suffering. His relationships with others are complex, especially with those in both the human and ghoul worlds, notably his close friend Hideyoshi and the enigmatic Rize Kamishiro, his initial attacker. Kaneki's hair color changes to white after his transformation, symbolizing his transformation not just physically but also psychologically.
