Summary
Kishou Arima is a Special Class Ghoul Investigator widely recognized as the CCG's strongest. Feared amongst Ghouls as the CCG's "Reaper", his stoic facade and cold professionalism hide his true feelings of loneliness and guilt for his killings, causing him to take in "Sasaki Haise" as his pupil to finally leave something other than death in his wake.

- Yukimura 1/3: A Koukaku-type Quinque that takes the form of a sword consisting of a long, thin blade without a hilt. This quinque was used during Arima's early days as an investigator. He has passed it down first to Take Hirako and then to Sasaki Haise, who currently wields this Quinque.
- IXA: A Koukaku-type Quinque that takes the form of a lance attached to a gun-sword handle with a spiked pommel. It is able to change form into a shield that is capable of blocking potent attacks coming towards Arima. It is also capable of changing into a secondary offensive form that changes the shape of the Quinque into several tentacles which can home and pierce any enemy of Arima's choosing. IXA was shown to be heavily damaged after Arima's fight with Kaneki and is not used in the following fight against Eto, whether IXA is still in use or not has yet to be revealed.
- Narukami: A Ukaku type Quinque that takes the form of 4 satellite panels attached to a rapier handle. The Quinque can shoot bolts of lightning that can home towards a target of Arima's choosing. It also has the ability to combine the panels into a single rapier blade sharp enough to slice through the Kakuja of the One-Eyed Owl.
