I agree, the Yoshitoki = Souta theory doesn't make a lot of sense.

The Washuus are historically a clan of Ghoul Hunters and created the CCG under the authority of the Japanese Emperor. Them being Ghouls seems extremely unlikely, considering their hand in development of almost all anti-Ghoul technology and focus on exterminating all Ghouls. We have three generations accounted for that we've met, and we saw Yoshitoki and Matsuri eating normal food in the Vol. 4 omakes. (Yes, they're goofy, but the majority of omakes have proven to be Canon in the long run.)

The whole Yoshitoki = Souta thing seems to be based solely on Yoshitoki's hair having some wave, but there's much less likelihood that someone like Yoshitoki would even have time to have some secret identity going on. He's the second-in-command of the CCG, with the responsibility of overseeing all of Tokyo. That means he's insanely busy, plus nothing in his actions has suggested any involvement outside of whatever secrets CCG is keeping about themselves.

On the other hand, we have Furuta who turns out to have appeared in the original series as a seemingly-random bystander. The title of the chapter can be read as his name, and now we have him behaving super-suspicious and showing knowledge about Tsukiyama that only a select few people would have. He was only called "MM" at the Restaurant, and only three characters are known to have survived from that particular group after Kaneki's attack -- Tsukiyama, Madam A, and Souta.

We've got no clue what Souta is, and if he is Furuta then it's possible he's human or a half-Ghoul that managed to conceal himself from the others at the Restaurant.
