Toru had pale and smooth skin and is typically covered up in laid-back neat clothing.
His eyes a piercing silver with lightning streaks surrounding the iris, while his fluffy hair a messy midnight black, dangling softly around the frame of his face. A nice fragrance of Cherry Blossom follows him. Juxtaposing his soft appearance, two, contrasting tattoos caught your eye, one being a sleeve of scarlet roses shrouded in dark smoke placed on the left arm. The other being a small chain tattoo wrapped around the wrist of the right arm in a loop.
Under his neat clothing, scars of many kinds could be found, ranging from scorch marks to slash and stab scars.
Voice
Toru's deep and calm voice soothed your hearing and relaxed your mind, each word spoken with diligence and meaning. Brazenly so, his voice could both intimidate as well as sooth the mind of his peers depending on the situation.
Despite appearing as perhaps intimidating and dark; his demeanour spoke otherwise, often being found trying to have fun or crack a joke or even lightening the mood. His overall kind nature holds a deep sense of care, yet he is often oblivious of his alternate blunt and down to earth demeanour.
His confidence easily displaced by sudden and random encounters and flattery which may render him awkward in conversation until he gets comfortable again.
Likes
Exploration: Toru's keen desire for exploring new places and things often puts him in a hyperactive trance, learning new things being one of the best things in his opinion.
The Arts: Toru loves to both paint and act, the thrill of performance brings him much needed confidence with a balance of the serenity applied by painting his imagination.
Writing/Poetry: Toru's imagination thrived when writing, "A Warm Embrace" being one of his most proud works. Poetry eased Toru's mind as the world around him really came to life in his mind's eye.
Volleyball: The thrill of a challenging yet fun game of volleyball makes Toru's confidence thrive the most, allowing him to completely 'get in the zone' and have fun.
Dislikes
Impolite and Rude behaviour: Impoliteness and Rude behaviour ticks Toru off, despite wanting to have fun, rude behaviour is an easy turn off for Toru.
Injustice and Overruling: Toru's "free-spirited nature" makes overruling feel like a cage, Injustice disgusts him as not everyone deserves to be wronged; though some beliefs of his suggest there is a gap between being wronged and deserving it.
Control Freaks: Control Freaks annoy the living hell out of Toru, he understands what you're saying and may just throw a slight "shut up and get over it" your way.
Materialism: Materialism in Toru's eyes seems off-putting as his free nature isnt confined to a phone or an object, but instead to the world around him.

Birth/Early Childhood - Trauma and Rebirth
At Birth, Toru had never known his father, but was often ostracised, and abused by his late-birth mother who he once believed was a goddess sent from heaven. He once believed this abused life was normal to every family yet would run away from home every so often, declaring them "explorations". On one of his 'explorations' at the age of 9, Toru met a lovely young girl named Tomoe _______, he couldn't remember her last name, let alone his own. Tomoe changed his life forever. As Toru let spill of his home life, it traumatised the young Tomoe, leaving her basically clinging onto his shirt for dear life, begging for him to not go back. He accepted her plea's and was dragged along to an orphanage where Tomoe stayed. Tomoe explained everything to the head of the orphanage and instantly, police were issued to Toru's basically broken down house and his birth mother was placed behind bars giving Toru one last line before their inevitable separation. "You're lucky to be alive, I'll make sure to kill you when I get out!", She never did, she later committed suicide in her cell a couple years later for unknown reasons. Tomoe enlightened Toru with the rights and wrongs of society through picture drawing and watching Anime, as well as helping do the chores around the orphanage, Toru found these menial tasks to be bothersome but did them as a favour to his saviour Tomoe. Toru was infatuated by Tomoe, but later became shallow towards her as he started to think that he wasn't worth the trouble and ended up running away from the orphanage at the age of 12.
Teenage years - A New Beginning
Starting Toru's new life at 13, after miraculously running away from police and the orphanage looking for him over the course of a year, and after some time gave up, as well as abandoning his childhood saviour/bestfriend, Tomoe, who he has little memory of but her general appearance and fragrance, Toru was left stranded in Karakura. A beautiful city encaptulated in mystery and excitement, Toru was ecstatic to live his life here. He enrolled at Karakura Highschool where he's met many of the sort; some being weird, some violent, yet most were welcoming with a warm smile. All of these new faces were hard to remember with his troubled memory. At this new school, Toru had become fond with Volleyball and the Arts as well as a small hobby in writing novels. He doesn't claim to be great or even mediocre for that matter, but was often complimented for his quick learning and superhuman adaptability. Toru never flexed his skill in anything, fearing that he may lose or even make enemies of people through jealousy.
Through some time spent at Karakura, Toru was approached by a young individual older than himself named Jiro Munakata, who chased Toru down, requesting that he join the Munakata Family. Toru was finally defeated after many failed attempts and a long chase around Karakura, officially joining the Munakata's. The Munakatas' were kind at heart and righteous with a quickly growing family. Toru was adopted into the Yutaro Branch, owned by Yutaro Munakata and (now married) Hanai Munakata. Where Toru had many MANY siblings, being one of the few males of the branch with a swarm of sisters. After Toru's previous experiences in his childhood with his late-mother and time at the orphanage, he was left confused whether or not to trust this new family. After some months of warming up to this new found family, Toru felt completely comfortable. However, there was still an issue, one of his siblings Colleen was mute and only spoke in Japanese Sign Language, everyone else could speak it but why couldn't he? Toru was overwhelmed with jealousy and ended up impulsively going on a holiday back to Kyoto where he was born, where he isolated himself from speaking in Japanese and only in sign language. After two months of struggle and immersing himself in this environment, he learnt it, he finally was able to communicate to his sibling Colleen.
After coming back to Karakura, Toru had picked many fights, even been shoved in an oven with a 3rd degree burn down his left leg and a 1st degree down his right arm. After this incident, Toru picked up a slight addiction to cigarettes which he got rid of soon after, as he joined a gang, expecting them to be righteous like a Yakuza. They were not. Which led Toru into a deep, dark void of self-hatred, locking himself in his apartment in Block R for a month, only going outside to get supplies like food. Nearing the end of his month long self-loathing in his apartment, his land-owner kicked him out for being a grouch and wallowing in his apartment, forcing him to socialise and catch up with some old friends that were both happy for his return as well as angry for his sudden disappearance, describing it as "Like you were wiped off the face of the Earth."
