His personality seems to differ between the manga and the anime: In the manga, he was very possessive of his victims, cursing and threatening to kill Kaneki if he did not leave him to enjoy his meal. In the anime, he was polite, asking if Kaneki was feeling alright, and (as he claims he did not eat for a while) was able to sympathize with Kaneki, going far enough to offer a small portion of his victim to the boy.
