Since this keeps coming up: Do we have any knowledge about Touka's age?

I think she was 17 years old at the start of the series. She's a second-year high school student, and (almost) all second-year high school students are 16 on the first day of the new school year, which is April 1st. Tokyo Ghoul's first chapter happens late September/early October, so she should have turned 17 in-between. That is, if she didn't skip any grades, but considering her background and Japanese school culture, that's extraordinarily unlikely.

Any other opinions on this matter? Otherwise, I'll change her age in the infobox. I already edited her age in the past (going as far as removing the field, because strictly speaking, we can only base her age on the school year), but at some point, I gave up because people kept editing it in again.
