I do. Kaneki's mask plays a major role, and Uta is the one who made it.

I didn't catch any of the foreshadowing and I read the entire manga and watched the entire anime (not that they'll foreshadow in the anime).

I also think that Uta kept his kakugan on cause it fitted his style, I mean, if you wanna dress goth and are a full body modder, why not use the built-in scleral tattoos?

Plus, on the illustration on which Uta covers his eye, he's covering the same eye that is hidden under Kaneki's mask-eyepatch. If you ask me, Uta is just mysterious enough to possibly be the OEK, but was actually not him.

If you're referring to Itori looking at Uta in her bar while speaking of the OEK, this was probably because she was having him confirm and add to the information with his own share of rumors, so as inviting him into the conversation. Plus she's got a crush on him, and let's be honest, why not look at Uta if you have the chance?

We know Uta's a strong ghoul, especially from his role as peacekeeper, but Kuzen was strong as well, and so was Yomo, and both weren't One-Eyes.

And we also have no idea how Roma managed to look young, and since her head was seen shrivelling up after she died, it was most likely something she did with her kagune or she simply won the genetic lottery.

And Uta says he was a teen when he turned the 4th ward on its head. Pretty sure he had no motive to lie behind this detail when there were 2 people there to contradict him, especially as Yomo was most likely not in on any plan to hide Uta's would-be identitiy as the OEK, given by how they nearly killed each other in chapter 169.

Well, and back to the illustrations:

Uta had ties to Kaneki (who is the OEK), made his mask and advised him several times, and rescued him from Aogiri, I think Uta was illustrated with one eye partially cause on some drawings it just looked cool (I'm an artist myself, I know that sometimes these drawing-ideas just come to you) and partially cause he was the one who made the OEKs mask, or maybe at that time just the mask of an OEG.

PS: Here's a picture of a One-Eyed Uta to make this post look better.
