Fuyumi Sakami grew up as a ghoul in Tokyo, where she trained with her uncle, Yoshimura. She got a job at Anteiku when her parents were killed by the CCG. She worked hard to help provide for Anteiku, and when a new human gets an organ transplant from the binge eater ghoul, she stays by his side to watch over him. Their relationship was that of a brother and sister bond. Kaneki had his eyes set on Touka, while Fuyumi had her eyes set on Kaneki's human friend.
