About Tokyo Ghoul names

Tokyo Ghoul names work on two layers. Every character has an ordinary-sounding modern Japanese name (Ken Kaneki, Touka Kirishima, Koutarou Amon, Akira Mado), usually a common given name paired with a slightly uncommon surname built from striking kanji: Kaneki (metal tree), Kirishima (mist island), Tsukiyama (moon mountain), Fueguchi, Yomo, Suzuya. Sui Ishida rarely uses flashy names for humans; the everyday quality is the point, because ghouls pass as ordinary people until they do not.

The second layer is the alias. The CCG files ghouls under a single descriptive codename taken from a mask, a habit or a kagune shape: Eyepatch, Rabbit, Black Rabbit, Gourmet, Serpent, Jason, Binge Eater, the One-Eyed Owl, Black Dog, Raven, Nutcracker, Torso. A good original alias is one concrete noun, ideally a little unsettling and tied to what the ghoul looks like or does. Investigators get rated quinques with names that are either Japanese words or odd foreign ones, often followed by a fraction like Yukimura 1/3 or Scorpion 1/56 that marks the series number.

This list gives you canon characters and aliases, quinque and organization names, and a large set of original full names and codenames in the same register for ghoul, investigator or Quinx OCs.

How to choose Tokyo Ghoul names

  • Give a ghoul OC a plain modern name and a separate CCG alias; the contrast between 'Sae Yuzuriha' and 'Moth' is exactly how the series builds characters.
  • Aliases should be single concrete nouns tied to the mask, kagune or feeding habit (Rabbit, Serpent, Nutcracker), not adjectives like 'Shadow' or 'Dark'.
  • Surnames carry the mood. Pick kanji-heavy names with nature or darkness imagery (Kuromine, Tsukimori, Kagehara) for ghouls, and more institutional-sounding ones (Shinohara, Hirako, Washuu) for investigators.
  • Name a quinque after something sharp, fast or mythic and add a fraction for series number: Hakuro, Tsubaki 1/7, Raijin 3/3. Bikaku and koukaku quinques suit blade names; ukaku suits bird or wind names.
  • Use ward numbers and organization names (the 20th Ward, Aogiri Tree, Anteiku, Cochlea) to place your OC in the world instead of inventing a new city.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a Tokyo Ghoul OC name?

Combine a common Japanese given name with a surname built from vivid kanji, then give the character a one-word CCG alias if they are a ghoul. For example, Haruto Kuromine, alias Lantern, or Kanon Shirakawa, alias Paper Crane. Investigator OCs do not need an alias but often get a nickname from colleagues.

What are the ghoul aliases in Tokyo Ghoul?

Kaneki is Eyepatch, later Centipede and the Black Reaper; Touka is Rabbit; Ayato is Black Rabbit; Tsukiyama is Gourmet; Nishiki is Serpent; Rize is Binge Eater; Yamori is Jason; Eto is the One-Eyed Owl; Irimi is Black Dog; Yomo is Raven; Uta is No Face; Hinami is Yotsume; Shachi is Orca.

How are quinques named?

Quinques are named by the CCG, often after Japanese words or mythic references (Narukami, Amatsu, Yukimura, IXA, Arata) and sometimes given a fraction such as 1/3 or 1/56 to mark the model within a series. Many are named after the ghoul whose kakuhou was used, like Fueguchi One and Fueguchi Two.

Can I use these names in fan fiction or roleplay?

Yes. The original names and aliases are free to use. Canon names belong to Sui Ishida's work and are included for reference; you can reference them in fan works but should not use them for commercial projects.
