As a child, Kaneki had all the same features he has now as an adult. As a normal university student, Kaneki is a scrawny young man with little to no athletic background who prefers to read books. In his free time, he wears casual clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At work, he wears the standard Anteiku waiter uniform, consisting of black trousers and a grey waistcoat over a white dress shirt, and a brown necktie. Because he couldn’t properly control his single kakugan that manifests in his left eye, he wore a medical eye patch to cover it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His ghoul mask shows resemblance to a leather gimp mask with an eye patch. It bares a lipless mouth that shows large, gnashing teeth, much like a restrained asylum monster. The bolts sticking out of his neck and the fact that he is an artificial ghoul gives him a Frankenstein<\/em> theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After being tortured by Yamori for a period of ten days, his hair became white and his nails turned black due to heavy stress, anxiety, and continuous bodily regeneration. He also began wearing a form fitting black outfit when he had the intention of fighting as a ghoul, both for intimidation and practicality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the timeskip, his white hair is now adorned by black streaks which have grown out from the center of his head, and his nails are no longer black. Similar to the other Ghoul Investigators, Kaneki is seen well dressed in the standard suit and tie most of the time. When embarking on missions, he wears a white trench coat over his uniform and occasionally carries a briefcase with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During and after his battle with Kanae and Eto, Kaneki would return back to his original black hair color, dons eyeglasses, a black investigator trench coat, and red gloves (black in the anime). Kaneki is often to have dead stares on his face. His hair would go back to being white after his fight with Arima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After being free from the dragon, Kaneki’s hair is longer in length, dragon markings under his eyes, neck and limbs. In the 6 year timeskip, Kaneki hair gets cut back to its original length, has a scar on the left side of his face from Furata’s attack, and now wears casual clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the oneshot, Kaneki’s appearance is relatively the same, except has a more muscular build, and instead of a leather mask with an eyepatch, he wears a plan white mask with exaggerated teeth and lips with one eye in the form of a plus, and the other a heart. It strangely resembles a clown mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPowers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
