Personality
While he gives of an appearance of a normal cafe employee. In reality, his real persona is a much more ruthless personality as ghoul, willing to eliminate anyone that stands in his way. He does seem to appreciate human life, as he is shocked to see child murdered by a ghoul, and only kills humans if he needs to.

Plot
Kaneki takes an order from an unknown customer. Touka asks him whether or not they are policemen, and Kaneki responds with saying that they are ghoul investigators. Touka wonders their continous visit of the cafe, while Kaneki jokingly makes a confession that he is a "ghoul", seemingly shocking Touka. Cafe manager calls out to both Touka and Kaneki for lunch, and while Touka makes an excuse of being on a diet, Kaneki quickly devours the food and rushes to the toilet to vomit. However, while getting out of the toilet, he encounters a ghoul investigator on his way back.

After a treat from the manager, Kaneki discusses about the "8 people killer" while saying that the reckless murders are completely unnecessary, stating that he would only kill humans that would get in his way.

While overhearing many people complaining about ghoul murders, Kaneki says that none of them realize how hard the ghoul life real is, while suddenly being interupted by a ghoul investigator. They have a brief discussion before the former insists to treat Kaneki a meal. Naturally, Kaneki throws up directly on the table due to the negative effects of ingesting human food. Some time later, Kaneki plans on ambushing Shinohara while he's at a parking lot, accidentally being noticed by Touka. Kaneki attacks the investigator, while the latter parries all of his attacks and counters by punching him in the stomach. Touka interupts the fight between Shinhoara and Kaneki, and while the investigator doesn't pay mind to Touka's talk, he attacks Kaneki again. Kaneki takes Touka as a hostage, however, Shinohara still charges Kaneki. Touka is then revealed to be the "8 people killer" from before, and they both engage Shinohara in a fight, as Kaneki pierces him in the abdomen.

Later on, Kaneki gives advice on Touka's unqenchable hunger for human meat, and tries to train her to ingest human food to cover her human identity. They make one final appearance murdering Nakayuma.
