Talk:Ken Kaneki/@comment-71.54.121.171-20141127224637

Akira said Arima had a "parental love" for Haise because Arima was the one who named Kaneki ,Haise, and taught him the way of the ghoul investigator when they erased his memories. So Arima kinda raised him in a way. In the end of the first series they said that arima had all naming rights. My guess for why Arima made Kaneki an investigator is because he hopes kaneki can surpass him, since kaneki was the first to injure him (though very small but it was the first)  and damage one of his quinques, so they plan on using him as a tool to defeat ghouls.
