There are similarities, but Ishida's Tokyo Ghoul Ghouls are a completely seperate case. He might've gotten his basic idea from myths, but developed something that is unique on it's own, with big differences to the way myths describe them. The only real similarity is how they need human flesh to stay somewhat sane.
