Character background: - Lived a very ordinary life since childhood, average grades, average relationship with family - Started living an ordinary college life and made a few friends on campus - What changed his life was falling for a stranger at a café. By chance, he discovered that the girl, Rize Kamishiro, shared his interests. They became "friends" and went on a pleasant date. However, when they parted ways, Rize revealed her true nature and severely injured Ken. Just as she was about to devour him, she was struck by falling steel beams. In the hospital, with Ken's life hanging by a thread, the doctors decided to use Rize's organs to save him. Thus, Ken became a "one-eyed half-ghoul," with one half of his body being human and the other half ghoul. - Initially, Ken didn't notice anything unusual about his body, but gradually, he lost interest in food and couldn't resist the scent of humans. One night, he decided to go out hunting but unexpectedly encountered Touka Kirishima, who was also hunting. Touka was shocked to see Ken still alive, but Ken suddenly fled. His life became increasingly painful and hungry. Because he was half-human and half-ghoul, only one of his eyes turned red when he transformed, and he couldn't control it. - Desperate, Ken went to the café for help but was initially rejected by Touka. Fortunately, the manager intervened and protected him, giving him a bag of human flesh before he left. However, Ken was still very resistant to eating humans. After continuous research, he discovered that the taste of coffee was not repulsive like other foods.
