I think the information on the types is basically correct, but I'm not really the authority there, because I don't speak Japanese. Maybe some details are wrong. Also, some of the wording is a bit weird, but it's not like I'm free of that either (after all, my mother tongue isn't English). I will take a closer look at the page and maybe reformulate a bit when carnival is over.

Hinami states in later chapters that she is 14. Since it is July or August in these chapters (at least Touka's birthday passed), Hinami is 13 currently. There is the possibility that Hinami lied, but I don't think that's the case. She had no reason to lie.

"Kakuhou" is the name of a special organ only ghouls have. Now, I'm not fully sure how they work, but these organs contain most of these Rc cells (I think the cells are somehow concentrated there). The kagune are also created by these organs (or by the Rc cells inside the kakuhou, depending on how you look at it). Thus, the kagune emerges where a kakuhou organ is positioned in the ghoul's body. That also means that the position of this organ differs with the ghoul's Rc type. A ghoul may have more than one kakuhou, e.g., Hinami should have 2, because she can create a koukaku kagune and a rinkaku kagune. Perhaps there are even ghouls without a kakuhou organ.

The different Rc types and their strengths and weaknesses, Rc cells and kakuhou are mainly explained in chapter 53. When that chapter is translated, we will have to update the pages.
