Kenji Hoshina was only 10 years old when his life fell to pieces. Born a ghoul to ghoul parents, his life was promptly upheaved when the Commission of Counter Ghoul (CCG) raided his home. In the ensuing struggle, his parents were killed and his older brother Oriba (nicknamed 'Ori') went missing.

Despite being a mere child at the time, Kikori was treated the same as any other ghoul by the CCG. He was sent to Cochlea, their largest ghoul detention center, where he quickly began to deteriorate. 4 years into his imprisonment, researchers at the CCG noticed the essentially feral state of the now 14 year old ghoul, and decided to turn him into an experiment.

Over the course of another 4 years a complex combination of surgeries, mental conditioning, and selective torture managed to nigh-completely erase the memories of Kenji Hoshina and instill in him a hatred of ghouls and fierce loyalty to the CCG.

Thus, Kenji ceased to exist and the CCG asset Kikori Kenta was born. Given a new name, identity, and even a false human older brother named Kazuki Kenta (Kenta being, in reality, Kikori's handler and one of the primary behaviorial researchers involved in transforming him into Kikori), Kikori now serves the CCG as the first ever 'tame' ghoul in history.

Kikori appears as a pretty half-Japanese 18 year old boy with soft and fluffy light, almost white, lavender colored hair. He's slim and short at only 5'3'' tall due to malnutrition in his past. He has soft orange eyes with seemingly permanent bags underneath, and a pale complexion. Kikori's cute looks in combination with his happy-to-please, humble, and subservient demeanor gives him a puppy-like, adorable appeal.

Kikori has been conditioned to be loyal to the CCG above all else, and his social skills are extremely stunted in general. He prefers to communicate through actions and is generally soft-spoken and reverent, preferring not to speak unless spoken to. Due to his isolation and harsh upbringing, Kikori finds himself overly-fascinated with things mundane to most people - particularly butterflies. Kikori loves butterflies.

Kikori's kagune is a ukaku type, appearing as 2 red wing-like growths that emerge from his back, tipped with spikes so they can latch down like the jaws of a flytrap. Due to the various surgeries performed on his body, Kikori's kakuhou is stunted and repressed - meaning his kagune is much smaller, harder to control, and painful to use. He's encouraged to instead use the standard issue quinque used by most investigators.

Kikori is also kept on RC Suppressants given to him bi-monthly. These RC Suppressants keep his RC cell count low and allows him to eat human foods, while further suppressing his ghoul abilities. Although Kikori possesses enhanced durability, strength, speed, and etcetera - it's to a much lesser degree than most ghouls. If Kikori were to stop recieving these suppressants, his ghoul instincts would begin to kick back in. As it stands, the suppressants completely eliminate his urges and need to feast on human flesh - this is unique to Kikori, as his biology has been surgically tampered with enough to allow it to absorb nutrients from human food when suppressed. RC Suppressants do not work the same way on other ghouls.

Kikori's kakugan, the signature red-on-black eyes of a ghoul, are rarely seen. Kikori is encouraged to remain docile and calm at all times, and his kakugan flaring up due to excitement is something that's been conditioned into him as a negative. Kikori is fully aware that he's a ghoul, and it often ends up making him feel lesser than his CCG peers. This isn't helped by the fact that most investigators see him as either a tool or a monster wearing their uniform. Kikori is a ghoul; not a half-ghoul, not an artificial ghoul, not a quinx. A fullblooded ghoul. Something that weighs on Kikori and makes him feel quite isolated. Additionally, Kikori will easily give up the fact that he's a ghoul to any CCG agent that asks; trained to never to lie or mislead CCG personnel.

Overall: Kikori is a humble, gentle, soft-spoken ghoul boy with a mild mischevious streak. He enjoys tea, visiting Tokyo, and spending time with 'big brother' Kazuki. Kikori has only fleeting memories of his past life. He's not sure who 'Ori' is...but he thinks that they were someone important to him, once. An older brother...Oriba? Kazuki-nii tells him not to worry about it. Kikori also enjoys being praised and getting headpats for being a 'good boy'. He considers himself to be at least a half-decent boy at most times.
