I was quite confused at first. I mean this Sasaki gives a strange 'former' Kaneki vibe while Urie gives his badass vibe...
After doing some research, I am pretty certain Sasaki is the most likely
candidate for being 'half-ghoul-turned-investigator Kaneki with memory
erased.' If he is not just a red herring, that is.
Evidences?

- It's three years after its prequel right? Why? Akira was 21 in the
first manga, and now she is 24. How is that related to Kaneki? Well, he
was 18-19 in the first and 22 (19+3) in this sequel.
- Look at the height and weight too. Kaneki = 169cm 55 kg while Sasaki =
170cm 58 kg. Only slight differences, right? It would not be weird if
Kaneki increase his weight by being well fed in the CCG....
-As most people realise, Sasaki's silhouette with his case was abt the end of the last chapter of TG.
-Most importantly, remember when Arima was asked to give a name? Yeah, someone said "Ha-I-Se (hiragana)" ==?> http://imgur.com/uuAM9vA
- If this is not enough of a clue. The kanji of haise (俳＝removal 世=
world) means "removal from the world." And Kaneki's existence is, well,
erased like the crossing out in TG last chapter.
-As someone has mentioned. Kaneki's black hair would have grown by this time. Still traces of white left, though. Hmm...
- More interestingly, look at this PV clip around 2.00 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=3_1aEI2NhM8 ) When first meeting Akira, Sasaki's hair was practically all white!
- Not to mention his passion for books. Book motif. Good rhetoric and
linguistic ability because of literature education, blah, blah...
- His self-sacrificing attitude. (The I-will-protect-everyone rubbish, yeah :/)
- His meekness
- The coloured page shows he has two different types of eyes
(half-ghoul, that is). Why is he not blind? Ghoul generative ability!
So many points that I don't have enough time to list out :O
