History
Arima Kishou first appears after the death of Kureo Mado. However, he does not have a major role until near the second half of the manga. During this time it is revealed that Arima is considered the strongest of all CCG investigators. It is revealed that he is the one who killed Renji Yomo's sister. Yomo despises Arima for this reason. Arima's most major role in the first manga happens during the raid on Anteiku. Kaneki, having sough shelter under ground attempts to pass through the V-14 pass. However, upon finding this place, he sees it is littered with hundreds of dead ghouls just strewn about. Standing in the center of this valley of death is Kishou Arima, with orders to not let any ghoul pass through V-14. Kaneki and Arima fight, and Arima easily gains the upper hand. He manages to pierce one of Kaneki's eyes, causing Kaneki to go berserk. Kaneki manifests a giant Kagune and manages to destroy Arima's IXA Quinque while simultaneously slashing his cheek. Arima however once again gains the upper hand and brutally pierces Kaneki's skull with his broken quinque, seemingly killing Kaneki. After this Arima lends his had to the re-emergence of the One-Eyed Owl. The One-Eyed Owl, who had slaughtered dozens of highly skilled CCG investigators, is easily beaten by Arima. Some time after the Raid on Anteiku, Arima is seen talking to Chairman Washuu about an unknown subject. Washuu informs Arima that this subject is his. Arima chooses the name Haise Sasaki to be the subjects name.
