koneki

Koneki is a fictional character from the popular manga and anime series Tokyo Ghoul. The character's full name is Kuki Urie, but he is often referred to as Koneki by fans due to a mispronunciation or portmanteau of his name and the protagonist, Ken Kaneki. Urie is a human investigator who works for the Commission of Counter Ghoul (CCG), an organization dedicated to exterminating ghouls, creatures that resemble humans but possess monstrous abilities and consume human flesh.

Urie is a member of the Quinx Squad, a special unit composed of investigators who have undergone surgery to wield quinque, weapons derived from ghoul corpses, and to have a limited ghoul-like ability themselves. Initially, Urie is portrayed as ambitious and ruthless, driven by a desire to climb the ranks within the CCG. His methods are often questionable, and he displays a cynical and detached personality. He harbors a deep resentment towards ghouls, stemming from a traumatic past experience involving his family.

Throughout the series, Urie undergoes significant character development. His relationships with his fellow Quinx members evolve, and he begins to question his own motivations and the morality of the CCG's actions. His struggles with his own ghoul-like abilities and the psychological toll of his work become central to his arc. Urie is a complex character, embodying themes of revenge, duty, and the blurred lines between humanity and monstrosity.
