Koutarou Amon

Due to a personal experience as an orphan during his childhood, Amon came to the conclusion that the world was wrong, therefore he made it his task to change it. Because he believes it is ghouls who are twisting the world, he views their eradication as a way to mend it. After being spared by Ken Kaneki, Amon started to question the righteousness of his crusade and showed interest and curiosity, wanting to understand the ghoul. At heart, Amon is a likable, sympathetic young man with a great sense of justice, dedicated to his cause. So much so that he views his morality as anything done in the name of justice, demonstrated when he dug into a grave, something other investigators saw as immoral. Due to the connection between ghouls and his childhood and being raised by one, the fuel for his actions lie in his soft spot for children. One of the biggest justifications for his hatred of ghouls is the loss of the precious ones for these children. This was best conveyed when he sees an orphaned child taken in by the CCG and is motivated to work instead of rest. Despite being well set in his mentality of his duties, he is quite apprehensive and insecure about losing people around him. He has lost many people throughout the course of his life and is fearful of losing more, he admits this to himself while fighting Kaneki, who incidentally feels the same. From this propensity, Amon reacted strongly to Kureo Mado's death. While investigating the ghouls responsible, he becomes near obsessed with it while feeling guilty for not arriving in time. Another incidence is when he intends to bring Seidou Takizawa, a former comrade, with him despite being transformed into a murderous one-eyed ghoul like himself which can also be used as evidence of his loyalty. After Amon was transformed into a one-eyed ghoul, his worldview underwent a gradual transformation. Since he had become the very thing he scorned and vowed to destroy, Amon could no longer hold onto the rage and hatred that once fueled his life's purpose. As a result, Amon became consumed by feelings of emptiness, feeling that the time he spent in the CCG to be a waste and could not see a place for himself in the world any longer. It was only after embracing emptiness as a "feeling" in and of itself did Amon regain a sense of direction in his life. Accompanying Amon's transformation came greater introspection about himself, his past, and lifelong beliefs about the world. Since becoming a ghoul, Amon could no longer see ghouls as abominations who prey on humans but rather individuals who exhibit human qualities such as benevolence and hatred; emotions that had once fueled Amon's life. This change is best exemplified by Amon's neutral even friendly stance with Touka Kirishima despite her being the person who killed his mentor. As Amon lives and fights as a ghoul, he comes to the realization that while ghouls are one of the causes creating a "wrong" world, he himself was a contributing factor to this distortion. This was caused by the fact that he refused to acknowledge that the simmering hatred he had felt for ghouls was really his own manipulation of his parental feelings for his ghoul foster father, Donato Porpora. Once Amon was able to accept this fact, he was able to make peace with himself and his depraved foster father.

Amon is a very tall, handsome young man with black hair and teal eyes. His distinctive eyebrows are curved at the end. Due to his constant vigorous training, he has an extremely athletic and muscular build. Like most ghoul investigators, Amon usually wore a black suit with tie. If he left for an investigation, he additionally wore a white overcoat on top of his suit. He also wears a silver necklace with a cross. Years later, he wears a cloak with a hood, and an outfit with a high collar underneath. He possesses a kakugan in his right eye. His right forearm and hand is made from a kagune, the hand itself deformed with only three fingers and a blade-like extension growing alongside the finger on the right side of his hand. After his right hand is destroyed in battle, it regenerates with four fingers, sans blade-like extension. One month after the Rushima operation, his right hand regenerates with five fingers.

Ghoul Physiology: He inherited Yoshimura's kakuhou and gained an ukaku kagune as a result, becoming a half-ghoul in the process. Shortly after his transformation, he experienced an uncontrolled surge in Rc cells and has been left in an unstable state as a result. This led to him being labeled a Floppy and discarded by Dr. Kanou. This malfunction was thereafter fixed by the CCG's experiments on him. Due to hybrid vigor, Amon's abilities are said to be more potent than that of a natural-born ghoul. * Ukaku Kagune: He appears to have an ukaku kagune of decent power, capable of firing off numerous projectiles. These can easily blast holes into another ghoul's body, as demonstrated during his brief battle with Shikorae. He exhibits great accuracy, able to hit all four of Ginkui's mouths with four projectiles in an instant. These can vary in size, from small to human-sized, and being powerful enough to pierce through the body of a quinx and to break through Urie's kagune. He also demonstrated that he could form a tentacle which can attack from short to mid-range. He is able to release round bullet-like ukaku attacks, which chopped off Takizawa's leg and broke his full kakuja into pieces. * Ukaku Kakuja: Amon possesses a grotesque and mutated armor. In this form, Amon has a mutated head with multiple eyes and a deformed mouth with multiple blades protruding out of his back. He is able to fire large drill shaped projectiles at a target that are as large as a human body. In his second kakuja form, he is able to produce two large scimitars blades from his shoulders and also multiple smaller ones protruding out of his back. He has a large humanoid form that closely resembles Yoshimura's kakuja form. In this form, he has fought off both Takizawa and Kurona with ease, until the former activated a kakuja of his own.Because of his half kakuja nature, he seems to only go into this form when in extreme duress, such as when Ginkui activated inside his body or after being experimented on by the CCG. * Kagune Arm: Amon has a kagune-like arm capable of forming a blade sharp enough to cut through body parts. This arm is durable and capable of blocking powerful attacks. * Kagune Detachment: Amon can detach kagune from his arm to complete the form of his quinque, Doujima 1/2. After escaping the CCG labs, Amon's Kagune and Quinque manipulation abilities seem to be enhanced to a whole new level, now being able to freely control the aspect of Doujima, and form Kagune appendages and shields from it. * RC Cell Backflow: Upon having been modified in the CCG Labs, Amon seems to be capable of exploding any kagune by direct physical contact, pushing back and affecting any RC cells, causing the kagune to explode completely. With this, Amon was able to effortlessly explode Takizawa's kagune blade, only a few seconds after being stabbed by him. * Superhuman Strength: Amon was part of the 0.01% of humanity with physical powers rivaling those of ghouls. As a human he trained extensively in weightlifting, his strength allowed him to wield heavy koukaku quinque. As a one-eyed ghoul, Amon manages to rip through Mutsuki's kagune, break free from Ginkui, crush Shinsanpei Aura's kagune with his hand, as well as send Touma Higemaru flying with a single hit and smash a large crater into the ground by simply stomping on it. In his second kakuja form, his strength is empowered to the point he could achieve the same with a single punch. * Superhuman Regeneration: Amon regenerated his torso after Ginkui's remote activation inside his body. In his second kakuja form, his regeneration was so fast that it took him mere moments to recover from the damage he received from both Takizawa and Kurona. * Superhuman Agility: He is incredibly fast, as he disappeared shortly after Saiko took her eyes off him for a very brief period of time. * Superhuman Durability: Amon received multiple frontal heavy attacks and yet showed no signs of weakening after being impaled with a kagune. Swordsmanship: As an investigator, Amon was proficient and deadly while wielding a quinque, able to easily and efficiently eliminate ghouls. * Doujima 1/2: A simple koukaku quinque which initially took the form of a club used to swing heavy blows that are tough to block. During a fight with Ken Kaneki, it was broken and later repaired using the Bin brothers' kagune. The repaired Doujima 1/2 takes the form of a lance-like spear. For additional offensive power, the brothers' kagune can be projected from the spearhead, spiraling around it in a drill-like manner, but it was destroyed again. Years after the Owl Suppression Operation he still wields the quinque. He carries only its handle section and, when he wishes to release it, uses parts of his kagune to complete its form. * Kura: The koukaku quinque is a quarterstaff with a large blade at its end that can take down multiple ghouls in a single swing. The blade can be separated into dual falchion blades to lure opponents off guard and have a qu...
