Talk:Ken Kaneki's father/@comment-217.209.94.177-20171228071650/@comment-217.209.94.177-20180104045951

The father died way before his mother did.

The only function the father serves, is to give Kaneki a reason to why he was so interested in books...

...which lead him to meet Rize in the first place.

(They shared interest in Eto's work after all and we only meet Kaneki after he and Rize made plans to meet up, so they should have met each other at least once before the first chapter.)

That's the only function the father has.

He can stay dead. (human dead.)
