Shouldn't Haise and Kaneki have only 1 entry? After all they are the same person. Kaneki is Haise but with amnesia...

well technically yeah they're the same person but haise is only in the manga and have different ages, descriptions, names etc so it makes sense to have two different entries :s

I still don't see why. Each of Kaneki's personalities differ greatly (compare time when he had black hair and personality at time when it turned white) So far I haven't seen other characters who would have multiple entries because of this. Age is irrelevant as well. Naturally characters grow older over time.

Take Lucy from Elfen Lied as example. Her situation is very similar. She also had different characteristics, amnesia and different name, but she only has 1 entry.

Possibly due to spoilers
Quoting Kineta on this one:
People with multiple personalities will have one entry, as they have one body.
Same with transformations, diametrical changes in appearance and changes of sex.
Exception: When using one entry would be a spoiler.

I think it'd be fair to give them two separate identities. Haise doesn't appear in Tokyo Ghoul, but he's a feature character in :re. And like the user above me said, it'd be a spoiler. Especially since during the 1st seven chapters, the entire fandom was tossed upside down because Haise wasn't confirmed to be Kaneki yet but there were theories and speculations etc. It would serve as a spoiler for a person whose reading :re for the first time.

Here's an interesting idea: in real life there's something called "multiple personality disorder" which causes some people to truly be more than one person. If there was someone who was a voice actor in one personality and a mangaka in another but could not perform either of the tasks in their other personality would they get separate database entries for being two different people?
