This debate seems like it could take long. Yoshimura does indeed know much about Eto's identity as the owl. But he also lacks a lot of background information. Because he abandoned her as a baby. Unless he knows the ghouls or ghoul who raised her to her currently state. I don't think he has much to offer. The scenario happening in RE seems like a rare scene to me. Many smart people come to almost the same conclusion. But when they think they know the main villain. They are caught shocked to see they were wrong. Like the anime "Dangan Ronpa." But you do make a valid point when it comes to most of the main villains being female.

But as I have said before Eto is a major influence in the series no doubt about that. I think it is hard to classify the major antagonist in Re. Since the CCG also have done things which seems to antagonize them. Arima defeating and heavily damaging Kaneki and turn him into Sasaki. The removing of Fueguchi parents. Eto is unfolding herself now. Eto's build up does not mean she is the king. She is like the Joker who influence everyone and play with others lives like pieces on a board. Her build up has major effect on probably every character in the series. If people only consider her as king and view her build up as that. Then they are denying that she might have further potential. My view of the king is limited. I view him/her as a powerful  and parental figure or romance element. Not exactly like Eto. She is "The Child" The subordinates directly under the king are like guard dogs who is to protect "The Child" and "The Parent"

I also think you are underestimating Chie Hori. Not much has been shown about her. A human information broker, who is in direct contact with the ghouls and who can escape from CCG and acquire information on Aogiri Tree: Like the info on Torse. That kind of person is far from normal and random.
