Do you watch Tokyo Ghoul? This anime series follows Ken Kaneki, who turns into a half-ghoul half-human hybrid after being attacked in an accident. Ghouls are cannibal creatures that feed on human flesh. There are many powerful Ghouls who are exceptionally powerful and difficult to beat by the Ghoul hunting organization in the anime. One of the interesting characters is Arima Kishou, one of the key characters in the storyline. On this occasion, Dunia Games would like to show you some fascinating facts about Arima Kishou. Without further ado, let's get into it.

1. The Former One-Eyed King of Ghouls

Prior to Kaneki, Arima Kishou was the One-Eyed Ghoul King. There is no ghoul that Arima can't beat except for Kaneki, this is what makes Arima one of the strongest One-Eyed Ghouls. One-Eyed Ghoul itself is a title given to the strongest ghoul. So, Arima is undeniably one of the strongest characters in Tokyo Ghoul.

2. CCG’s Reaper

The CCG (Commission of Counter Ghoul) is an organization formed specifically to eradicate ghouls in Tokyo and the surrounding areas. Arima was a member of the CCG as a ghoul investigator. He earned the title the 'Reaper' as he almost never lost a battle against ghouls. He even once defeated a ghoul with just an umbrella weapon as his quinque was still being repaired.

3. Had Three Quinques

Throughout his life, Arima Kishou had three quinques that became his primary weapons against ghouls. These three quinques are:

• Yukimura, a weapon with the shape of a thin sword that Arima used when he first joined the CCG.
• IXA, a Koukaku-type weapon that takes the form of a shapeshifting spear.
• Narukami, an Ukaku-type of weapon that looks like an electric cannon that can transform into a thin sword.

4. His Hair Turned White

Initially, Arima Kishou had blue hair, but his hair started turning white in his early twenties just like Kaneki who had white hair at an early age. His hair turned white as his body deteriorated and the cells in his body were getting thinner, just like what happens to people when they get older. This may also occur because of the Marie Antoinette syndrome that he suffers from.

5. Climbed the Ranks in a Short Time

Due to his extraordinary abilities and achievements, Arima Kishou was able to get promoted to become a 2nd class investigator in a fairly short time, just within a year. As a matter of fact, he managed to become one of the investigators besides Juuzou Suzuya.

6. Shared the Same Birth Date as Kaneki

Another fun fact about Arima Kishou is that he shared the same birthday as Kaneki Ken, the main character of Tokyo Ghoul. He was born on December 20 just like Kaneki.

7. Born Without Kagune

Usually the ghouls in Tokyo Ghoul have kagune or organs that can be used as weapons. Even Kaneki who became a half-human half-ghoul is blessed with one. Despite being a demi-human ghoul, Arima wasn't born with a Kagune. His power purely came from his abilities and intelligence.

8. His Purpose of Finding the Next One-Eyed King

Arima actually had a noble goal as he wanted to find a successor to the One-Eyed King in order to develop a good future between humans and ghouls. Eventually, Kaneki managed to defeat Arima Kishou and killed him. He believed that the rightful person to be the successor is only Kaneki Ken.

10. Could Still Dominate in 3V1 Situations

Arima was so strong that he once fought Touka, Ayato and Renji simultaneously without getting hurt at all. Touka Kirishima is a former waitress at Anteiku Cafe, Ayato Kirishima is Touka's younger brother who was just as arrogant and stubborn as the older sister. Meanwhile, Renji Yomo is the younger brother of Hikari Kirishima who had a normal life as a normal ghoul, but his life took a turn for the worse after Arima killed his older sister.

11. Blind in His Right Eye

Arima Kishou suffered from glaucoma, which led to his right eye being blinded. This happened due to the premature aging process that he experienced accelerated. His body cells were getting thinner, and gradually weakened his body.

12. Would Often Cry and Suffer from Bad Dreams

After Kaneki was defeated and captured for trial by the One-Eyed Owl, he often cried and had nightmares. Everyone thought Kaneki would die sooner or later, as Kaneki would constantly refuse to eat and ask to be released as he wanted to save his friends. But Arima gave Kaneki a book to help him recover and start a new identity for Kaneki.

Arima Kishou had an impressive extermination record. Even at the age of 16, Arima managed to kill more than 30 cannibals, including Hikari Kirishima, the older sister of Renji Yomo and the mother of Touka and Ayato Kirishima.

14. Helped Kaneki Find His New Identity

After he helped Kaneki rebuild his life under the name Sasaki, Arima became like a father figure to Kaneki. He would teach and train with him, to help Kaneki's development and recovery. According to Arima, he could have killed Kaneki 645 times if he wanted to, but he chose not to.

15. Voiced by the Same Seiyuu as Ulquiorra from Bleach

Another fascinating fact about Arima Kishou is that he's voiced by the same seiyuu as Ulquiorra from Bleach, namely Daisuke Namikawa.
