Touka Kirishima

Touka Kirishima is one of the main characters from the Tokyo Ghoul anime and manga.

Touka is a ghoul and ex-waitress at Anteiku and Ken Kaneki's wife.

She wears a rabbit mask while hunting, earning her the alias Rabbit (Rabitto). In Tokyo Ghoul, she was a second-year student at Kiyomi High Schooland later a third-year after the post-Aogiri timeskip.

Two years after the Owl Suppression Operation, she returns as the Manager (Tenchō) of the coffee shop :re. Following its destruction she joins the newly formed organization Goat, thus relocating to the 24th ward along with its other members.

Appearance
Touka is a slender teenage girl noted for being very attractive. She has black (purple in the anime) hair cut into a bob and long bangs that reach her chin, covering the right side of her face. She appears to be a cute, normal girl that one would not suspect to be a ghoul. Her facial features and hairstyle bear a strong resemblance to her mother and her brother. She wears her waitress or high school uniform for work and school respectively, whereas her casual clothes are tomboyish streetwear.

Her waitress uniform consists of a white shirt rolled up to her elbows, a black vest, a red tie, and a black skirt down to her lower thighs. On top of that skirt, she also wears a brown skirt that reaches her upper thighs. She also wears tight red leggings.

As "Rabbit", she wears a long coat jacket, rabbit mask, and a blonde, or sometimes a pink, wig to conceal her identity. After the Aogiri arc, her hair reaches shoulder length, but her signature bangs remain the same. As a child she wore dresses, and bunny hair-clip on the left side of her bangs, and her hairstyle was much the same. However, her bangs at first were brushed to the side revealing her whole face.

After the timeskip, Touka grew into a beautiful woman. Many characters including Kaneki have been left speechless by her attractive appearance. During a negotiation between the CCG and Goat, a ghoul investigator was stunned by Touka’s beauty. She has reverted back to her short bob cut. Her bangs are shorter, reaching her nose instead of her chin and considerably bouncier than her previous bob haircut. Touka switched to a more feminine style of clothing. She wears a white wide neck blouse with a black apron over the top for her waitress outfit. When Touka's moving around as a "ghoul," she wears a trench coat, pants, and boots.

After the Clown Siege, Touka dyed her hair back to its original black (purple in anime) color.

Personality
Her rash attitude comes from having to live a hard-working double-life of a ghoul with a human identity. As a human, she presents herself as a normal girl attending school with friends and a café waitress. As a ghoul, she reveals a more reckless and ruthless personality full of hatred for ghoul investigators, stemming from the fact that her family was torn apart by the CCG and she had to live life as a fugitive. After being separated from her brother Ayato, she grows to appreciate her human life and starts to desperately hold onto it. As Shuu Tsukiyama notes, she had previously looked more dangerous and cold but has somewhat softened up because of her friends and possibly Ken Kaneki's influence. When Touka was fourteen years old, she expressed a much colder demeanor and a harsh glare, but these traits subsided over the years.

Touka suffered from ornithophobia. This may have stemmed from caring for a bird when she was a child only to be pecked near her right eye that she then covers with a hair bang.

After the timeskip, Touka possesses a much gentler and warmer personality compared to how she was back then. She is also seen smiling a lot more and greets people politely even outside her workplace. But she can revert back to her old personality if it is someone she is well acquainted with such as Nishiki and Tsukiyama.
