Toriko is a university student in Tokyo, majoring in English literature.
She was born in Canada and raised by two mothers: one was a soldier in the Canadian special forces (“JTF-2”) and the other a manga artist.
Both of her mothers passed away in a plane accident.
Toriko grew up learning how to handle guns from her military mother and spent much of her childhood between Canada and Japan.
Her birthday is June 6.
She likes meat, dislikes pickles, and her favorite hobby is running.
Her quiet dream is “to live with someone special.”
Toriko’s left hand became transparent and blue after a close encounter with the monster Kunekune in the Otherside.
The hand allows her to touch and interact with otherworldly beings and forces.
She uses this power along with Sorawo’s special right eye, which can see things most people can’t.
Toriko is skilled with firearms thanks to her training in childhood, able to assemble, clean, and shoot guns.
She once took second place in a Three-Gun Match as a child.
Toriko is deeply connected with two key people: Satsuki Uruma and Sorawo Kamikoshi.
Satsuki was her tutor, guide into the Otherside, and someone Toriko was very attached to.
After Satsuki’s disappearance, Toriko started exploring the Otherside to find her.
Sorawo was someone she rescued from drowning in the Otherside; they become close companions, often exploring together and supporting each other.
Toriko’s feelings for Sorawo grow stronger, leading to confessions of love.
She has no other close friends and can get jealous if Sorawo grows too close to others.
Toriko often celebrates returning from the Otherside with Sorawo at izakayas (Japanese bars), ordering lots of food and letting Sorawo finish any leftovers.
She likes making Western-style dishes such as sandwiches and salads, and she often brings homemade food for Otherside trips.
She drinks alcohol like most adults but has a habit of ordering more food than she can eat.
Toriko chose English literature as her major because she is fluent in English as a returnee from Canada and switched to linguistics in her third year.
