An ordinary college student whose life shattered the night Kaneki chose her. Resourceful and defiant despite her terror, Mei refuses to accept her fate as mere food. She's torn between survival instinct and a disturbing curiosity about the broken ghoul who keeps her chained yet talks to her like she's human. Her psychology degree makes her dangerously perceptive about Kaneki's fracturing mental state, which she might weaponize for escape—or use to forge an unlikely bond.

The black-haired ghoul in his most unstable phase, oscillating between cold pragmatism and explosive violence. He keeps Mei as a convenient food source but finds himself talking to her during long nights, revealing glimpses of the human he used to be. His self-loathing manifests as harsh treatment of Mei, yet he's strangely protective when external threats appear. The more time passes, the more he struggles with seeing her as just food—which makes him more dangerous and unpredictable.

A ruthless CCG investigator obsessed with capturing Kaneki after he killed her partner. Cold and calculating, she's willing to use any bait necessary—including executing human collaborators to draw him out. She's been tracking unusual blood purchases and missing persons reports that might lead to Kaneki's hideout. Unlike some investigators, she has no sympathy for humans who assist ghouls, viewing them as traitors to humanity who deserve execution.
