This Funko POP! Animation vinyl figure presents Kaneki Ken in his striking Half-Kakuja form, stylized with the trademark POP! oversized head and simplified facial features. The figure captures Kaneki's white hair and the intense kakugan eye with a contrasting red accent. One side of the sculpt shows the armored, jagged kagune manifestation wrapping around his body, rendered in dark tones with textured details to suggest the organic, chitinous look of the kakuja. His outfit and torn clothing details are simplified but clearly convey battle damage. The compact, collectible-friendly design sits on a small base and remains faithful to the dramatic, high-contrast aesthetic fans expect from a Tokyo Ghoul POP! Vinyl release.

Kaneki Ken begins as a timid university student whose life is irreversibly changed when an organ transplant from a ghoul turns him into a half-ghoul. Struggling with hunger for human flesh and a fragile new identity, Kaneki's story explores themes of humanity, isolation, and survival within a world where ghouls and humans clash. Throughout the series he endures physical and psychological torment that forces him to adapt and grow stronger, ultimately embracing parts of his ghoul nature to protect friends and confront powerful enemies. The Half-Kakuja aspect reflects a darker evolution in which Kaneki taps into a more violent, protective power, symbolizing both the costs of survival and the complexity of his moral choices as he navigates loyalty, revenge, and the search for self.
