@ Blue Luna, I had sort of been thinking the same sort of thing, but a little different. To me:

Saiko is similar to Kaneki before he became a ghoul. She immerses herself in games, much like Kaneki did in books, her Mother resembles Kaneki's Aunt (I'm sure she would have sold Kaneki if she could have). Of all the Quinx she relishes human food.

Mutsuki is similar to Kaneki right after he became a ghoul empathsizing with others, and scared to hurt others.

Shirazu is similar to Kaneki after the gourmet arc but before he was tortured, when he was training with Yomo, so that he could be more than a power boost to Touka. Shirazu wants to be more powerful but not at the expense of what is important to him.

Urie is similar to Kaneki after he was tortured, he has been hurt and believes that only power can protect him from being hurt again, he is obsessed with righting the wrongs done to his father. He is on a path to self destruction.

However I think it would be strange if their story archs exactly matched Kaneki's, after all we already read that story.
