Drawing 101 Feat: KANEKI KEN

After being captured by Aogiri Tree, he underwent a drastic personality change and after escaping, formed a group with the goal of protecting those precious to him and exterminating individuals threatening his place of belonging. His kakuja's distinct appearance earned him the alias Centipede (ムカデ, Mukade).

Two years following his defeat against Kishou Arima, he lived under the identity of Haise Sasaki (佐々木 琲世, Sasaki Haise), an Associate Special Class Ghoul Investigator who formerly served as the mentor of the CCG's Quinx Squad. His memories were initially lost to him, but regained during the Tsukiyama Family Extermination Operation. Six months after the operation, ghouls came to know him by the moniker of the Black Reaper (黒い死神, Kuroi Shinigami).

After defeating Arima and Eto having unveiled their joint plan to raise a one-eyed ghoul who could stand as the hope for all ghouls, he calls himself the One-Eyed King (隻眼の王, Sekigan no Ō). Kaneki has since then formed the organization he named Goat, which until recently resided in the underground chambers under the 24th ward, where he married Touka Kirishima who was carrying his child.

When the Oggai Squads, Juuzou Suzuya, and Hanbee Abara among others invaded the outpost, Kaneki engaged them to buy time for Touka and other members of Goat to escape. Kaneki was then defeated in conflict with Hanbee and Juuzou, and then mocked by Kichimura Washuu in his state of helplessness, having lost all limbs save his head. Kaneki then summoned all his strength, and regenerated instantly, devouring all of the Oggai, using the thought of Touka to drive him on. However, this was exactly what Furuta intended, and Kaneki then morphed into the Dragon (ドラゴン, Doragon), a huge, uncontrollable kagune which he was trapped inside for three days. His fate is currently unknown.
