Akihiro Kanou

Professor Kanou is a character in Tokyo Ghoul. He is a physician at Kanou General Hospital.

After Ken Kaneki was mortally wounded by Rize Kamishiro, Kanou transplanted Rize's organs into Kaneki, turning Kaneki into a half-ghoul. This caused an organ transplant scandal, since Kanou did not ask Rize's family for permission.

Kanou still performs Kaneki's regular medical examinations. Kaneki is questioning if Kanou figured out what happened to his body, because he should have an elevated Rc Factor.
