Appearance

• Tall, heavily muscular build: Todo has broad shoulders and a towering physique that immediately draws the Tokyo students’ attention 30 31 32.
• Expressive demeanor: He frequently crosses his arms, grins broadly, and displays open excitement when assessing prospective opponents 30 32 44.

Personality

Todo values an exciting fight more than a straightforward victory. He approaches the Goodwill Event without nervousness or fear of Yuta Okkotsu’s Special Grade status, seeking opponents whose strength and character can “resonate with his soul.” His enthusiasm is self-centered: he resents Noritoshi Kamo’s instructions and ignores objections when pursuing his own interests 30 31.

He believes romantic preferences reveal a person’s soul and questions potential rivals about their tastes. Although his judgments are eccentric, he respects sincerity. Yuta’s devotion to Rika earns his serious approval, while Dai Li’s answer prompts him to declare their souls incompatible—even as he acknowledges Dai’s willingness to state his preferences openly 30 32.

Todo remains determined when outmatched. Against Yuta and Rika, he continues fighting despite mounting injuries and near-exhaustion, then acknowledges their strength and promises to win their next encounter 39.

Abilities & Skills

Boogie Woogie

Todo’s cursed technique switches positions between targets carrying cursed energy, using a handclap as its activation signal 32 34.

• Position switching: He swaps positions with Dai Li, Rika, and cursed-energy-bearing objects to change attack angles and create openings 32 38 39.
• Projectile counter: Dai Li’s projected cursed tools are valid swap targets, making massed weapon barrages ineffective against Todo during their team-match duel 34.
• Prepared targets: Cursed-energy-infused rubble provides additional options for repositioning during his fight with Yuta 38.
• Clap feints: Todo can clap without switching positions to attempt to mislead an opponent 39.
• Demonstrated limitation: Yuta and Rika neutralize his openings by staying close together and checking his position whenever he claps 39.

Close-Quarters Combat

Todo combines powerful, cursed-energy-reinforced punches with rapid movement and skilled positioning 32 38.

• The force of a missed punch splits a tree behind Dai Li 32.
• His fist cracks a projected short blade during their first exchange 32.
• His opening attack drives Yuta backward and leaves his arms numb 38.
• He fights Dai Li to a prolonged standstill, with both remaining uninjured and retaining substantial cursed energy 34.

Combat Analysis

Despite his brawny appearance, Todo quickly reads unfamiliar abilities and chooses when to reveal his own technique 32.

• Identifies that Dai Li reproduces cursed tools through cursed energy after a single exchange 32.
• Withholds Boogie Woogie until Dai Li commits to a projectile attack, nearly turning the weapons against their creator 32.
• Recognizes how Yuta and Rika’s coordination prevents him from separating them or exploiting a swap 39.

Relationships

• Dai Li — Self-declared archrival. Their evenly matched team-battle duel excites Todo, who believes destiny will arrange a rematch in the individual tournament. He later expresses respect for Dai while watching the final 32 34 35 44.
• Yuta Okkotsu — Respected opponent. Todo approves of Yuta’s commitment to Rika, challenges him in the semifinal, and promises to win next time after losing 30 38 39.
• Noritoshi Kamo — Kyoto teammate. Kamo briefs Todo on Tokyo’s dangerous competitors and repeatedly tries to rein in his disruptive behavior; Todo resists being directed 29 30 31.
• Kinji Hakari — Prospective opponent whose enthusiasm interests Todo. Todo names him alongside Yuta and Dai as someone he wants to test 31.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event

Kamo warns Todo that Tokyo’s newcomers are unusually dangerous, but Todo welcomes the prospect of challenging them. Before the competition, he interrupts the schools’ argument to question Yuta about his romantic preferences, accepting his heartfelt answer about Rika without ridicule 29 30.

Match / Round	Opponent	Result	Key Details
Team battle	Dai Li	Unresolved duel; Tokyo wins the team event	Todo charges toward Tokyo’s group, but Dai intercepts him. Their fight remains evenly matched until the event-ending whistle 31 32 34.
Individual tournament: first round	Hiroshi Sato	Victory	Todo overwhelms Sato in close combat 35.
Individual tournament: second round	Kirara Hoshi	Advances by forfeit	Kirara declines to face him 37.
Individual tournament: semifinal	Yuta Okkotsu and Rika Orimoto	Defeat	Their coordination counters Boogie Woogie. Rika blocks Todo’s final punch while Yuta stops him with his blade 38 39.

His semifinal defeat prevents the anticipated tournament rematch with Dai. Nevertheless, Todo watches the final attentively and describes both finalists as men he respects 39 44.

Influence on Dai Li’s Projection

• Todo’s extended duel with Dai gives Dai enough familiarity with his cursed energy and technique to reproduce Boogie Woogie’s effect after mastering Projection’s “true essence” 45.
• Dai successfully swaps places with a cursed-energy-infused pebble, but the imitation consumes considerable energy and temporarily causes sluggishness and unstable cursed-energy circulation 45 46.
