^ I've wondered about that a lot. We have evidence of ghouls dating back to at least the 15th century or so. The Washuus were already an established clan by the time they immigrated to Japan (prior to the country adopting an Isolationist policy). So that indicates the species has been around for at least 1000 years, especially since there is no information about the origins of ghouls.

I have a feeling that ghouls' competitive and territorial nature has a lot to do with them remaining a minority.
