Touka Kirishima, a ghoul orphaned after the CCG targeted her family, carries the legacy of her parents, Arata and Hikari Kirishima. Her father’s emphasis on blending into human society shaped her early struggles to reconcile ghoul instincts with human norms. Forced to flee with her brother Ayato following Arata’s disappearance, she found sanctuary under Yoshimura at Anteiku, a ghoul-run café. There, she balanced high school life, a human friendship with Yoriko, and work as a waitress to repay Yoshimura’s protection. Her trauma-fueled duality—volatile rage juxtaposed with guarded kindness—drives her vengeful pursuit of investigator Kureo Mado, who murdered Hinami Fueguchi’s mother. Yet bonds with humans like Yoriko and Ken Kaneki gradually temper her hostility. A pivotal moment arises when Kimi Nishino reframes her self-loathing by praising the beauty of her Ukaku kagune, sparking acceptance of her hybrid identity. In combat, Touka wields her Ukaku kagune as wing-like projectiles, favoring speed honed under her uncle Renji Yomo’s training. Premature activation during a childhood attack left her kagune incomplete, limiting stamina until post-timeskip growth grants her a second wing and refined destructive precision. Her dynamic with Kaneki shifts from skeptical mentor to mutual ally. After training him in ghoul survival, his torture by Aogiri Tree and memory loss strain their bond. Suppressing emotions to avoid pain, she later reunites with him during the Cochlea raid, culminating in marriage, parenthood with daughter Ichika, and a second child—embodying her hope for human-ghoul unity. Post-Anteiku’s destruction, she leads :re, a new café sanctuary, and joins Kaneki’s coalition Goat, advocating coexistence through strategic diplomacy. Though matured into a calmer leader, traces of her fiery past resurface around figures like Nishiki and Tsukiyama. Physically, her dark blue bob-cut hair and rabbit mask—symbolizing swift duality—evolve post-timeskip into softer hues and refined attire. Notably, her comically poor haircutting skills, evidenced by mishaps with Hinami and Yomo, contrast her fierce reputation. Touka’s arc closes with her forging a life that bridges ghoul resilience and human bonds, defending coexistence without forsaking her protective ferocity—a testament to reconciliation’s fragile strength in a divided world.
