Yeah, '赤' (aka) means red, so '各' (kaku) could be a variation of that, esspecially since the translations for all ghoulish features (ukaku, kakuja, kakuhou, ect...) are Red ______.

The word for eye in Japanese is '目' (me), not gan, but in some instances, gan can mean 'eye'. You can find examles of this in Naruto, with the Tenseigan and Byakugan both translating to mean 'reincarnation eye' and hundred eyes' respectivley.

'がん' (gan) by itself means cancer, so it could be refering to what makes someone a ghoul, or RC cells, being a disease. Which kinda makes sense, seeing as when Rize's kakuhou was transplanted into Kaneki, he became a ghoul. This could also have something to do with the ROS disease (RC cell Over Stimulation).
