Hey there.

I personally believe the One Eyed King is Eto, which from what I've seen, is one of the less popular theories.

There's 2 reasons I believe this. The first being that there are many implications and hints throughout the story which point towards Eto being the One Eyed King. The One Eyed Owl and One Eyed King are often referred to as the same person, and Nico also states that the "One Eyed King" doesn't exist, which can be explained through Eto.

If Eto is the "One Eyed King", then technically it wouldn't exist. She would be the One Eyed Queen, however I believe that the alias of the One Eyed King was created in order to throw off people from finding Eto's identity, probably to stay hidden from V. Eto has already been confused as a male countless times with her "One Eyed Owl" alias, not only by other characters but even by the readers of Tokyo Ghoul.

The second reason I believe the "One Eyed King" only fits Eto, is because I haven't seen Ishida clearly foreshadow the One Eyed King being a different person. Other popular One Eyed King theories including Hide and Arima really don't make sense to me, because Ishida hasn't hinted either of them being a One Eyed Ghoul or their motives. Not to mention if the One Eyed King was a male then Nico's statement wouldn't make sense.

So overall I'm 99.9% sure that the "One Eyed King" is a fake alias which was created solely for Eto.
