^ Besides, There´s also that little detail regarding Arata that it becomes "sentient" when triggered into "hunger" mode (eating in exchange for revitalized rc-cells and power of a ghoul)

Humans can´t hear the voice of the kakuhou because they´re humans... but Kaneki, a "ghoul" (Who has been shown hearing the voices of Rize´s kakuhou alongside with Yamori´s kakuja kakuhou, both vanishing as the mindset of Kaneki ken finally overwriting the genetic remnants of the kakuhous´ former hosts and becoming the only voice in Haise´s head... With Shironeki as his "normal" kakuhou´s voice and "Centipede" as his kakuja kakuhou´s voice, replacing the former two instead.) would be more than suspectible and even capable, of hearing the voice of Arata Kirishima.

Kaneki finally got rid of all the voices in his head, he doesn´t need another one replacing them, even if Arata is a pacifist by nature.

This does open up to a interesting question and revelation about the nature of ghouls though if he would put on Arata and activate it...

If he would hear the voice of a person he never met in his entire life or by a off-chance, see him in a visual mental spectrum, it would prove that the kakuhous are capable of inheriting the minds of their hosts to use as their own, making the very concept of the soul a actual thing. Especially since it has been hints of this when Kaneki first entered Centipede mode and with the rambling nonsense that Eto´s kagune AND kakuja has been sprouting on both occasions they´ve been out in the open... and even Noro´s "pure kakuhou" form at the end of his existence hinted of it as he, in his final moments, was essentially just a kakuhou and a kagune mouth, still capable of speech and clearly remembered its life as Noro and Eto.

The kakuhou have a mind of its own, inherited from the hosts it inhabit.

And it´s not just Kaneki. If any of the Quinx would put on Arata and hear Arata´s voice or see the man in question, it would also be a way to prove this theory. Especially since they would never have any idea who this man was to begin with.

Just some food for thought.
