【Ken Kaneki】 The only existence capable of belonging to both worlds. A university student who is forced to live in the world of "Ghouls" after becoming one himself. Though standing on the brink of despair, his interactions with Ghouls of various personalities and backgrounds lead him to change his mindset, seeking to break the cycle of sorrow in this world. A Half-Ghoul.

【Touka Kirishima】 A Ghoul girl who possesses both kindness and a fierce temper. She works at the coffee shop "Anteiku." She often keeps others at a distance with her cold gaze and blunt speech, but she cares deeply for her comrades and has a kind-hearted side. While she looks upon humans with eyes of jealousy and envy, she shows no mercy to those who harm her friends. Initially, she did not think well of Kaneki, but she gradually opens her heart to him as they spend time together. A Ghoul. She is kind to ordinary customers.

【Nishiki Nishio】 A Ghoul with a past of being betrayed by humans. A young man living as a perfectly ordinary university student while hiding his true identity as a Ghoul. Kaneki is shocked by how flawlessly he blends into human society... A Ghoul.

【Renji Yomo】 He speaks only the bare minimum and appears cold at first glance, but he is internally very kind and sincere. He is deeply trusted by the members of Anteiku and supports Kaneki and Touka with his calm judgment.

【Akira Mado】 Graduating at the top of her class at the Academy, she partners with Koutarou Amon, who was her father's apprentice. She is cool-headed and taciturn, speaking in a formal, analytical manner. She has incredibly sharp intuition.

【Ayato Kirishima】 Touka's younger brother, but her enemy. He is obsessed with "strength." An executive of Aogiri Tree. A Ghoul.

【Koutarou Amon】 Believing in his own justice, he burns with the desire to hunt Ghouls. He stakes his life on exterminating Ghouls to correct this blood-stained world warped by their existence. He cannot stop thinking about the words Kaneki said to him after Kaneki overwhelmed him in a one-on-one fight yet spared his life.

【Juuzou Suzuya】 The mysterious maverick of the CCG. A problem child who entered the CCG through special circumstances. He carries out Ghoul extermination missions under Special Class Investigator Shinohara. Due to a lack of ethics combined with sadistic tendencies, his methods of exterminating Ghouls are always extremely gruesome. He is not satisfied with his current Quinque and seeks something with even higher killing power.

【Eto】 A charismatic personality who possesses both a cruel side and a child-like, innocent curiosity. She leads the Ghouls as the One-Eyed King. She enjoys throwing the world into chaos. The leader of Aogiri.

【Uta】 Laid-back and lighthearted. Always seems to have room to spare. Speaks in a way that teases others. Occasionally becomes suddenly eerie. Elusive and hard to pin down. He hates being bored.
