[ kaneki smiles. ] You can call me whatever you'd like, with or without "san". [ saying "Dee-Thirty-Three-san" is a bit of a mouthful, so Kaneki doesn't add san to his name, but that's honestly the only reason. Was his name smaller, he probably would have ]

I don't think it matters how people call me, anymore. It was strange at first, I admit, but everyone kept call me "Ken" the first few months and I ended up just going along with it. [ its a sort of familiarity kaneki is definitively not used to. He introduces himself as Kaneki now and most people call him that, but there are still some who call him by his given name and Kaneki learned to not mind it at all. ]
