Rize Kamishiro

Rize Kamishiro (神代 利世, Kamishiro Rize) is a ghoul that was hanging out at Anteiku. She set her eyes on Ken Kaneki, but moments before eating him, she died in an accident and her organs were transplanted in Ken Kaneki, making him half-ghoul.

Rize is also known under her nickname Binge Eater (大喰い, Binge Eater or Glutton, literally Big Eater).

It's been revealed that her name may be fake by Itori.

Appearance
She appears to be a timid, slender girl with long lavender hair and a hourglass figure. As a ghoul blending in human society, she wears a normal attire fit for a young woman, although some of her attire reveals her cleavage to allure prey. Rize is very attractive and is aware enough to use it to her advantage.

Personality
Rize is a voracious, independent ghoul who acts as a femme fatale to those who fall victim to her charms. She is a enigmatic woman with many aquaintances who are left with a mysterious impression of her and those who comes in conflict with her rarely comes out alive, except Banjou who finds her self-dependent strength, attractive. She has no ambitions and wanders the wards aimlessly to appease her boredom.

Plot
6 months before the steel frame accident, Rize Kamishiro lived in 11th Ward. Her activities made the ghoul investigators move in that ward. She decided to leave when the ghoul investigators started to act. Before she left, she killed Hagi, the leader of the ghouls of 11th Ward, and two other ghouls.

It's been revealed that doctor Kanou is using her to create more artificial ghouls that are like Kaneki.

Powers and Abilities
Rize is considered strong even among powerful ghouls, and her Kagune is well capable of taking down multiple opponents in one go.


 * Rinkaku Kagune: Her Kagune is special because it has an abnormal regenerating factor even among the Rinkaku types. She is able to summon up to six tentacle claws. While slim, each claw can cut deeply enough to fatally injure anyone effortlessly, human or ghoul. Yoshimura explained, despite have a superior cellular regeneration if sufficient damage harms her vitals then even with a fast recovering body it wouldn't regenerate from fatal wounds; like the steel beam that crushed her waist and ultimately lead to her death.

Trivia

 * She was ranked 8th in the character popularity poll.
 * Sen Takatsuki's The Black Goat's Egg was a book Rize and Kaneki liked reading from chapter 1. Coincidentally, the book's setting and characters shows resemblance of the two. Rize is similar to the black goat that has a gluttonous appetite for humans, and Kaneki who was transplanted with Rize's organs can be interpreted as the black goat's child. Kaneki's experiences in the ghoul world and the struggles with his ghoul nature show a parallel to the book's protagonist.
