This is the current guideline for Kaneki's identity:

For consistency, we ask you to follow the following guidelines when editing the Ken Kaneki page: ---
 * Kaneki and Sasaki are different names used for the same person. Because Sasaki is the identity Kaneki adopted in Tokyo Ghoul:re and continues to use after regaining his memory, he will be referred to as Sasaki by default in all :re sections and sections containing information from :re.
 * Sasaki's mental projection of Kaneki is to be either referred to as a "mental projection" or placed in quotations (i.e. "Kaneki") when it's referred to as Kaneki.
 * In sections where information from the first series and :re are mixed, any new instances of Sasaki being used should have :re specified and/or "as Sasaki" or some variant to allow for smooth transition.
 * By community consensus, this guideline shall stand until the conclusion of the current arc.

Although we can still say that he is technically Sasaki during the later parts of the the Cochlea arc, I find that he is currently Kaneki by common sense. Instances include:

- characters such as Arima and Touka refering to him as Kaneki.

- his conversation with Hide

- the recent (possibly symbolic) bleaching of hair

 I personally propose for his naming to be Haise Sasaki until the end of chapter 67, and changed to Ken Kaneki for chapter 68 onwards. This is because this is the point where he defects from the CCG. My viewpoint on this (which means that I am open to opinions) is that Sasaki is his identity as a ghoul investigator.

'''I think it is a good idea to have another discussion at this point. '''It would be strange to wait until the end of the arc because that would mean that he is doing all this as Sasaki, which seems strange to me.
