A ghoul is a humanoid species that can only survive by eating human flesh (and other ghouls). They possess high physical capabilities and a predatory organ called a Kagune, powered by RC (Red Child) cells.

Why does Kaneki's hair turn white?

His hair turns white due to extreme physical and psychological stress (Marie Antoinette syndrome) during his torture by Jason (Yamori), symbolizing his acceptance of his ghoul side and shedding his humanity.

The Commission of Counter Ghoul (CCG) is a federal agency that investigates and prosecutes crimes related to ghouls. Its investigators are known as 'Doves' and use Quinques to fight.

Can ghouls eat human food?

No, human food tastes disgusting to ghouls (often described as rotting fish or sponge) and makes them sick. The only things they can consume besides flesh are coffee and plain water.

A ghoul's predatory organ that erupts from their back. There are four main types: Ukaku (speed/wings), Koukaku (defense/heavy), Rinkaku (regeneration/tentacles), and Bikaku (balance/tail).

A Kakuja is an evolved, mutated kagune that covers the ghoul's body like armor. It is achieved through repeated cannibalism of other ghouls, often leading to insanity.

A small neighborhood coffee shop in the 20th Ward run by Yoshimura. It serves as a sanctuary for ghouls who wish to live peacefully and avoid killing humans unnecessarily.

Who is the One-Eyed Owl?

The One-Eyed Owl is a legendary and extremely powerful half-ghoul, revealed to be Eto Yoshimura, the daughter of the Anteiku manager and leader of the Aogiri Tree.

Is the anime faithful to the manga?

Season 1 is relatively faithful but rushed. Season 2 (Root A) diverges significantly with an original story. Tokyo Ghoul:re adapts the sequel manga but skips many details, making the manga the preferred experience.

Haise Sasaki is the protagonist of Tokyo Ghoul:re. He is actually Ken Kaneki, who lost his memories after a battle with Kishou Arima and was brainwashed to work as a CCG investigator.
