Mainly, Kaneki has such a unique kakuja was because of its symbolic value, to show that Kaneki has accepted his ghoul side and potential strength, giving a balance of purpose in his mind. He is no longer the previous shy and innocent, ‘weak’ human he was.
Kaneki lost his memory after Kaneki lose his memories in Tokyo Ghoul fight against Arima (CCG) where he pierced both his eyes. Thanks to Kaneki's regenerative abilities, his brain rebuilded itself to allow him to survive, however his memories couldn't be "regenerated" and were, unfortunately, lost.
Thus, unbeknownst to him, Kaneki was turned into a One eyed Ghoul , after Rize Kamishiro’s Kakuhou was transplanted into him following the Steel Beam incident. Having a ghoul organ transplanted into him brought about changes in his body, eventually making him an artificial part human- part ghoul.
Did kaneki eat hide? Short answer: Kaneki ate part of Hide to stay alive. Hide encouraged him to do so. He meets up with kaneki at the coffee shop and they have a heart to heart. The ending shows kaneki carrying a supposedly dead Hide through the CCG ranks and sets him down to fight Arima.
Kaneki is Sasaki which inturn tells us that Kaneki is alive. This screenshot is from the same website.
It was Jason who kidnapped Kaneki close to the season's end and who put him through unfathomable torture because he had betrayed him. Kaneki survived, but was severely damaged, both mentally and physically; he had less control over his ghoul side, he was borderline psychotic, weak and even his hair turned white.
He does not. He only gets injured due to a fight with arima due to stabs in both eyes causing him to have serious brain damage and lose his memory.
The friends eventually reunited and Hide revealed Kaneki had eaten part of his face but he'd survived the ordeal. However, in the season 2 finale of the anime (AKA Tokyo Ghoul √A) Hide sustained a fatal injury at the hands of ghoul Noro and died in Kaneki's arms.

In episode 12 of Tokyo Ghoul:re, Kaneki gets his memory back. However, I didn't understand the dialogue "well sleep, Haise" before that, and the following event regarding Kaneki's memory.
Kaneki and Sasaki are different names used for the same person. Because Sasaki is the identity Kaneki adopted in Tokyo Ghoul:re and continues to use after regaining his memory, he will be referred to as Sasaki by default in all :re sections and sections containing information from :re.
No, he is 100 % human. Touka didn't die, as a matter of fact, *spoiler alert* she married Kaneki, and have a daughter in the end of the manga.
Ken Kaneki, also known as the “Black Reaper,” is the strongest character in the Tokyo Ghoul series. Kaneki was trained by the most gifted CCG agent, White Reaper Kishou Arima himself, and has one of the most astonishing regeneration capabilities.
Ghouls will die if they receive extremely critical or life-threatening traumatic injuries that will kill them before they have a chance to heal. As you described, some ghouls are still alive while some are not even when they received similar damage.
Kaneki became ruthless, cruel, and brutal in order to protect his friends, yet he managed to maintain complete composure. He no longer feared his ghoul side and was more violent during battles, such as when he cannibalized Yamori's kagune in order to strengthen himself, and mercilessly broke 103 of Ayato's bones.
He trashed his previous ideology of "being hurt rather than hurting others," pledging to crush those who dared threaten his place of belonging. He adopted the habit of cracking his knuckles from his torturer, Yamori. In his subconscious, Kaneki ate "Rize," the image of his ghoul self.
A hallucination of Rize appears to Kaneki earlier in the anime, representing the subconsciousness of Kaneki's ghoul half. She usually haunts Kaneki when he is hungry and needs to eat human meat. Kaneki was shocked to learn Rize was still alive in Kanou's lab as an experiment during the lab raid.
During his reign as king, Kaneki displays his growing maturity upon taking up the mantle of the "One Eyed King". When meeting with the soon-to-be members of Goat, he addresses all of their concerns, even persuading Naki to join him after a brief scuffle. When dealing with the Clown's attack on the CCG, Kaneki shows his ability to direct his forces, doing so in a calm and orderly fashion, while at the same time, selecting members to join him in their attempt to obtain the RC suppressants needed to heal Akira. After Goat was forced to move underground as a result of Furuta's oppressive plan to eradicate the population of ghouls in Tokyo, Kaneki has become more morose. He's more driven and has a tunnel-vision mentality of wanting to protect the ghouls on his lonesome. This comes back to bite him as he returns to the base by himself in an effort to stop Furuta, only to be beaten in a fierce battle by Juuzou and Abara.
While living under his new identity as Haise Sasaki, he was a self-contained and good-natured individual. He was loyal, devoted, and possessed a good work ethic. Sasaki was very cooperative, as he preferred working in a group rather than working alone. He also showed mercy, as he believed that an investigator should not annihilate ghouls unnecessarily. This was sometimes to the chagrin of his fellow ghoul investigators. Sasaki enjoyed reading books in his free time and had a habit of using puns, shown by his conversation with Akira Mado in the curry restaurant. He tended to scratch the back of his head when he was thinking hard or feeling uneasy. He still had his old habit of scratching or rubbing his chin whenever he was hiding something or lying from his days as Kaneki.
The two meet while Rio is following a lead on Jail, believing the area Kaneki is in to be his turf. Rio comes across Kaneki while he is devouring powerful ghouls in order to become stronger. Seeing that they share a common goal, Kaneki and Rio work together to find Jail. It is through Kaneki that Rio is also introduced to Anteiku.
Kaneki looks up to Yoshimura, and is grateful to him helping him survive being a ghoul. Yoshimura acts as a mentor to Kaneki. He would often provide Kaneki with information regarding the ghoul world and assists in his development. In turn, Kaneki diligently serves and runs errands for him at Anteiku. He provides advice to Kaneki when the latter faces a crisis, and told Kaneki the truth about the One-Eyed Owl when Kaneki inquired him about it. He believes in Kaneki to the extent that he entrusted Kaneki with saving his daughter. When Kaneki heard that the CCG was going to attack Anteiku he immediately decided to go despite the overwhelming number of CCG forces. Even while he was critically wounded by Amon, Kaneki forced himself to go save the manager.
In their battle, Arima drives his Quinque through Kaneki’s eye and stabbing his brain. Since our hero is a ghoul, Kaneki doesn’t die and the injury heals. However, the freak injury damaged his memories. So, Kaneki suffers from a bout of amnesia. Arima brought him to CCG, where he was given the identity of Haise Sasaki.
Hidden in Plain Sight. Season 3 of the animated series is based on the manga’s sequel, Tokyo Ghoul:re. Loyal fans who have read the manga can be assured that most of the anime will not deviate from the manga.
Kaneki finally met his friend Hide face to face and no longer had to hide the fact that he was a ghoul. Of course, Hide makes him realize that there was no reason to worry. But that emotional moment is cut short when Hide unexpectedly collapses from loss of blood!
According to Kaneki, his father died when he was just four years old. As expected of a gentle person like Kaneki, he probably loved him quite a lot, but his mother didn't let him feel his absence. Nonetheless, Kaneki often wonders what kind of a person his father was, as his memory of him is hazy.
4 Kaneki and Arima. Kaneki and Arima didn't start at the best of terms. In fact, the first time they met, Arima 'killed' Kaneki Ken. However, his relationship with Haise was very different. To Haise, Arima was his father figure.
Although unknown at the time, there was always a link between Kaneki and Haise. For example, the name Kaneki means "gold tree," while Sasaki literally translates to "Helpful Wood," bridging the two personas while also providing clues about Haise's identity at the same time.
1 Kaneki's Evolution. As a character, Kaneki Ken's mental progression is one of the best qualities of both himself and the manga. At the beginning of the story, Kaneki realizes that the world is full of atrocities caused by both humans and ghouls. Initially, he blames the world for turning him into a Ghoul.
Kaneki's initial transformation from a black-haired person to one with white hair symbolizes his mental progression. It only takes place when Kaneki embraces his ghoul side and allows it to cannibalize on his human side, symbolically speaking, to break free of Jason's torture.
Starting his journey as a human, Kaneki's life is turned upside-down when meeting with a girl ghoul named Rize leads to him becoming a one-eyed ghoul. With no place to belong to and a constant thirst for his own kind, Kaneki's life is full of struggles until he meets people, both human and ghoul, who he can depend upon.
Different people attribute its change of color to different things, and a lot of it has to do with temporary melanin production due to his unstable Rc cell activity. More than that, this abrupt change is symbolic for the author of the series.
