Yoshimura

Yoshimura, Yoshimura) is a ghoul and the manager of the Anteiku cafe.

He tries to help all ghouls, who can't hunt for themselves. He takes in Ken Kaneki and shows him how to live as a ghoul.

Under the moniker of the One-Eyed Owl (隻眼の梟, Sekigan no Fukurō) he repeatedly tried to cover up for the real Owl's behavior. When they had realized that there are two Owls, the investigators began to call him the Non-Killing Owl (不殺の梟, Fusatsu no Fukurō).

The One-Eyed Owl is revealed to be the offspring of Yoshimura and a human called Ukina.

In the past, he went by the name Kuzen (功善, Kuzen).

Appearance
A tall, powerful man who's commonly in a formal waiter uniform. When traveling he dons a black cloak and hat. He frequently smiles with his head held high and arms behind the back. With a tranquilizing composure and a discreet nature, Yoshimura is both an enigma and a gentleman.

Yoshimura's ghoul mask covers half of his face with a hooked beak that resembles an owl. In his kakuja form, Yoshimura's kagune creates a mask that resembles the One-Eyed Owl's mask, with minor differences in the mouth lines' length and eye holes' curve.

Personality
A kind and generous old man, the manager shows that he is both wise and reasonable even among the ghouls. People like Nishiki often question his motives on how and why it is that he has come to be a solemn peacemaker in the 20th ward, but he is nonetheless reliable and great for those who serve him. As head of his organization Anteiku, he's not afraid to assert his authority, but his demands are mostly agreeable to Anteiku's members. Although rare among the ghouls, Yoshimura holds equal regard to both ghouls and humans.

His kind and fair nature is a stark contrast to what Yoshimura was in the past. During his early years as Kuzen, Yoshimura had a loner's mentality. He was too strong and his strength isolated him from others. He avoided other and closed his heart to anyone he came across. He resented his existence as a ghoul, seeing himself as a curse that killed others in order to stay alive.

After meeting Ukina, his personality took a change for the better. He began to slowly open up to her and eventually came to love her immensely. It is through his relationship with Ukina that Yoshimura decided to create Anteiku and develop his goal to help those like his past self and other ghouls or humans in need. This is best represented with the birth of his child, a bridge between ghouls and humans.

Yoshimura is shown to have a great deal of paternal love for his child. This is evident by seeking to hide his child in the 24th ward from V's eyes and becoming a substitute for the One Eyed Owl in the 2nd ward attack on the CCG HQ.

Yoshimura values life and shuns people and ghouls alike if they kill. Because of his ideology, in the third attack by "Owl" on the 2nd Ward branch office, and even in the CCG raid on the Aogiri's hideout, he did not kill anyone, only injuring those he attacked.

Although he has forsaken killing since leaving V, Yoshimura is clearly aware of how his past actions have caused irreversible damage to others. As a result, Yoshimura sees himself as "evil" and is willing to accept death at the hands of his enemies if it should ever happen. Despite this sense of self-loathing, he is still willing to kill in extremely desperate situations to protect those that are precious to him such as his subordinates.
