Toka Kirishima, is a Ghoul and a former waitress of the Antique, as well as the wife of Ken Kaneki.
In battle, she wears a mask resembling a white rabbit head with pink hair, hence her nickname Rabbit. At the beginning of the series, she is a 3rd year student at Seirin High School. Some time after the operation "Owl with the scarlet eye", she becomes the boss of the coffee :Re. After its destruction, she joined the Mahr, an organization newly formed by the Demon King, moving to the 24th District with its other members.

Personality
Toka is a rather reckless girl. This attitude comes from her double life as a human and a ghoul. As a human, she is seen as a normal girl going to school with normal friends and running a café as a waitress. She has a close friend, Yuriko. She does not hesitate to eat the food her friend prepares for her to honor her despite the repulsion that ghouls have for human food, which shows great affection for her friend.
As a ghoul, she has a much more reckless and ruthless personality, she often says bad words and is often angry, but she is very kind. She has a great hatred for the GCC detectives. This comes from the fact that her family was torn apart by the GCC and she had to live a fugitive life until she led a more docile life by going to school (when she fights Ayato, you can perceive how much she loved her father).
The ghouls see her as a strong person for her determination to blend in with the humans. Uta describes her as a hard worker who walks a very fine line. After being separated from her brother Ayato, she took a liking to human life when she grew up, as Shu points out, she used to have a more dangerous and cold look but softened because of her friends and due to Ken's influence.
Indeed, when Toka was 10 years old, she expressed a much colder behavior but her features have lowered over the years. Toka appears at first as a cold and impulsive character when she meets Ken. After a few moments spent with him, she softens and becomes much more sympathetic.
We can assume that she has affectionate feelings for him as the manga progresses.
Toka also suffers from ornitophobia, she is afraid of birds. When Hinami decides to keep Chicken (a small parrot), Toka doesn't like it at all. It comes from her childhood, when she was little, she recovered with her brother an injured sparrow which they wanted to take care of. This little sparrow named Chunta had a clear preference for Ayato which made Toka jealous, and when she freed him to run away, Chunta hurt her face, since then Toka developed her phobia.
In Tokyo Ghoul: Re, Toka has a much softer and warmer personality compared to how she was back then. She smiles a lot more and greets people politely even outside her workplace.

Relations
Ken Kaneki
At their first meeting Toka sees Ken Kaneki as a simple customer of the Antique. She later meets him in an alley in Tokyo with a girl he met in the café. They meet again where Toka saves Ken from Nishiki's clutches. After defeating her opponent she proposes to Ken to eat the arm of a human murdered before. Ken, frightened, refuses and declares that he is not a monster like her, with tears in his eyes. Toka, under the effect of anger, makes him eat by force. She discovers that he has only one eye and then lectures him on his life which will become a hell. His boss intervenes and proposes to Ken to work for the Antique.
Later Ken comes to beg Toka to help him to survive as a ghoul. Toka, still resentful for his words, pushes Ken away and even wishes him dead. However, the boss of the Antique asks Toka not to reject the boy. And it is after that Toka will come to help Ken again not feeling well because of the hunger. Ken ends up joining the Antique with the disagreement of Toka and this one shows it rather explicitly by calling him incapable.
During their missions and their adventure Toka will begin to get closer to Ken, she trains him, accompanies him to make a mask, explains him the laws of his new life and even saves him from the gourmet without Yoshimura asking her. The two begin to find a common ground and Toka becomes more open, until the day when Ken will be kidnapped by the Aogiri. Toka wants to save him at all costs, to put her life at stake to deliver him. At the end of the assault on the Aogiri's buildings, Ken tells Toka that he will leave the Antique to fight the Aogiri's tree. Toka, not wanting to separate from him, is ready to join him but Ken refuses, telling her that she has to stay at the Antique and continue her studies. He wants to protect her in his turn, from the gangs of ghouls and from a certain death.
A few months after this episode, Toka finally finds Ken and is happy to see him again. She remains nevertheless intimidated in front of him. Ken confesses to her that he only wants to protect her, but also all those he loves. But Toka does not agree. She finds him quite selfish to have abandoned them. After his words, she hits him before decreeing that she regrets what he became, that she misses the old Ken. She turns her heels and feels a little guilty for what she did because she was hoping deep down that he would have come back to the Antique for good.
In Tokyo Ghoul:re, her relationship with Kaneki will evolve a lot, she will have in chapter 125 a sexual relationship with him. In chapter 126, she will give him the wedding ring of her parents, a very symbolic object for her.

Past
Tōka resided in the 20th district in a small apartment in Tokyo with her younger brother Ayato and her father Arata; where her father lived in human society. Not being very wealthy, Arata struggled to provide a decent life for his children while trying to integrate them into human society, such as by having them eat human food.
Tōka always seemed to have more trust in her father than Ayato. Tōka and Ayato began to worry about a bird, where she was shown to have an affection for birds and harvest earthworms. The night before Arata was captured by detectives, Tōka promised that she would teach Ayato many things as his older sister.
When Arata never returned, Tōka refused to believe he was dead, unlike Ayato. The children went to visit Madame Sato, where they were forced to eat human food. They refused, and then were reported to the GCC. Just as they were about to be captured, Tōka drew her kagune for the first time, so that she could protect herself and Ayato, and then killed the detectives.
