Tomizo Todayama

Tomizo Todayama (æˆ¸ç”°å±± ç™»å·³è”µ), more commonly referred to as Todoroki, is one of the many Oni from the Japanese Tokusatsu show, Kamen Rider Hibiki. Tomizo Todayama was the original name for Kamen Rider Todoroki, the Roaring Demon. As with all Oni, this name was left behind once he was able to become an Oni. He now simply goes by "Todoroki".

Fictional character biography

Todoroki was the last of the main series' Oni to be introduced. He was first seen in episode 14 greeting Asumu at a hospital. He later returned with his master, Zanki, to fend off a pair of Makamou. Originally he was to be the next Zanki, but declined the offer from his master so that he could create his own legacy as Todoroki.

Of the three main Oni, Todoroki is the second oldest, yet he is the most childish. He still acts like a novice with many Oni matters and enjoys the simple things that life has to offer him. He is also one of the more clumsy characters on the show, this trait often leads to problems both in and out of battle. Even though often misguided, Todoroki will stand by his friends no matter what comes their way.

When he became a solo Oni, Zanki had some trouble accepting the way that he fought the Oni and his "cleansing" of the battlefield. Eventually Zanki came to accept that this was Todoroki's way of being an Oni. During the summer of training arc, Todoroki saw hibiki as a teacher, Hibiki offered Todoroki guidance on being a solo Oni and the new challenges that life would bring him now that he had no master.

Todoroki soon came to find fighting the Oni on his own to be a tough challenge. In response to this, Zanki returned to be his assistant and offer advice whenever he could.

Crush

Throughout the series, Todoroki had a crush on Hinaka Tachibana. One day he gathers enough courage to asks her out on a date on her birthday. The date goes horribly wrong for Todoroki, he makes a fool of himself and ruins her gift. Hinaka became upset with Todoroki and the two were distant with each other for a while.

Injuries

Late in the series after the Shuki incident, Todoroki was literally stepped on by a giant Makamou. This left the others questioning whether or not Todoroki would ever be able to henshin again. Zanki feared this would cause Todoroki to go into a state of depression, indeed it does. Zanki believes that Todoroki was born to be an Oni and that he knows no other way of life.

Eventually Zanki meets his end, but puts a spell on his soul to allow him to remain on earth until Todoroki no longer needs him. It was around this time that Hinaka and Todoroki became friends again, even though she offered her help to teach him how to walk again, Todoroki declined. Even when Zanki helped him out, Todoroki said he wanted to do it on his own, otherwise he would never be able to show that he is an independent warrior.

Todoroki learns to walk again and rushes into Zaki's final battle, the both make quick work of a large number of Makamou and soon it is time for Zanki to pass on. Todoroki and Zanki have one final cleansing session as Todoroki pays his final respects to his former master. After these events, Todoroki has finally become the man that he always wanted to be.

Arsenal
Henshin Item: Henshin KiGen Onjou
Unlike the other Oni's henshin items carried on their belt, this is worn on Todoroki's left arm like a bracelet. The KiGen Onjou is worn on the wrist, plucking the small chords sends out special sound waves which gives Todoroki the ability to transform into an Oni. After plucking the cords he places it in front of his forehead forming an Oni face. He raises his arm into the air as lightning strikes him with electricity surrounding him while he transforms. In addition, the KiGen Onjou can also play back the sound or video data collected by the Disc Animals.
