Can Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul self cannibalize?


Would it be possible for Kaneki to eat himself to prevent starvation? Or to
keep himself from dying?




In the manga, I cannot recall that Kaneki self-cannibalized to prevent
starvation or save himself. However, in **Volume 7 Chapter 59** of the first
**Tokyo Ghoul** ,

> when Anteiku found out that Kaneki was being held by Aogiri, Yoshimura asked
> for the help of Shuu Tsukiyama. When Touka asked how he (Shuu) was still
> alive, Shuu remarked that he just followed Touka's 'advice' and that after

So, to answer your question, then **yes, it is possible for Kaneki, and even
for other ghouls, to self-cannibalize in order to save himself from starvation
or death** , as seen in Tsukiyama's case.
