Appearance[]
Toramaru has spiky blue-black hair and eyes. Endou Kanon's hair is similar to his. His jersey is the same as others, a blue shirt with white stripes on his shoulders, a red patch below his collar and a thunder sign on his left side of his shirt, and plain white shorts which have blue strips on it. His casual clothes consist of a white shirt with a yellow jacket and grey shorts.
In Inazuma Eleven GO, he grew side bangs and his hair spikes to the left. Toramaru is usually seen wearing a gray comple along with a black tie and black gloves.
Personality[]
Toramaru can be a shy and quite an innocent boy. Though he may be shy at times, he is very strong and has an unmistakable huge amount of potential in soccer, as he has an impressive natural talent at the sport. At the same time, he is a very helpful and concerned boy when it comes to helping his mother and even insists on running the restaurant himself when she was feeling ill. Both in the anime and game, after the team tells him to do his absolute best without worrying, he uses Tiger Drive and scores in the match against Desert Lion, shocking the team as his true strength was revealed. After that moment, Toramaru played freely without being pressured into thinking he is scoring too many goals, and his true energetic and competitive personality was shown.
He does not call his mom until the customers in the restaurant become rowdy. He also greatly idolizes Gouenji and even wants to become a better soccer player than Gouenji someday ever since the time they told him not to hold back in his plays, sometimes saying, "Beware, or I'll take the ace's seat from you." After that, the respect he had for Gouenji and the others had grown profusely, not only as seniors but also as friends.
Toramaru first appeared in episode 68, following Endou because he didn't know how to get to Raimon. He was also one of Japan's representatives. Because of his young age, he is exempt from joining the Football Frontier and playing professionally. Though he is brought in by Coach Hibiki to join Inazuma Japan. In the selection match of Inazuma Japan, Toramaru had a chance to shoot but passed it to someone else. The same thing happened again in the match against Big Waves.
During the training camps, Toramaru was usually seen going home earlier than the others with the coach's permission. His past was finally revealed when they fought against Desert Lion. Toramaru is a sixth-grade student and the best soccer player in his district, but then he was shunned by his teammates. This was because since he was an excellent player, he would score most of the goals, ignoring his teammates. He then made up his mind that he would always let others score while he would make assists. But in the match against Desert Lion, Gouenji and the others told him that he can always play his best and that none of them are unable to handle his plays. Toramaru then decides to play his full potential and brings out his hissatsu technique, Tiger Drive.
During the day, Toramaru helped his sickly mother with her restaurant, making deliveries during the afternoon that cut into his soccer practice. Toramaru also had no data in the Football Frontier because he is only in 6th grade Elementary school but he is allowed to play in the FFI due to the fact that it takes different cultures of countries into consideration thus, those who are 15 and younger are allowed to play. He especially looks up to Gouenji, and eventually Tobitaka, as role models.
Later, in some episodes he was given mail that contained something very important about his mother, which made him very angry and refused to speak with anyone. However, because of Tobitaka, he was able to get over it and after learned RC Shoot.
After the finals and when Inazuma Japan returned to Japan, Toramaru joined Raimon. In episode 126, he did not graduate because he was still a first-year, but he became the ace striker of Raimon. He also watched Raimon's graduation ceremony. When it was Endou's turn to receive his diploma, it was seen that he and along with the rest of Raimon were all crying because they were about to go their separate ways.
Then in episode 127, they had one last graduation match with each other which ended in both groups not scoring a goal, since they were all equally matched. All of them listened to Endou's last speech, and promised that they'll keep on playing soccer from Endou saying "Let's play soccer!!".
He first appeared in episode 37 when he talked to Ishido whether to let Amemiya Taiyou play the next match or not. In episode 41, right before the Holy Road finals, he is seen discussing the upcoming match with Ishido, who thanks Toramaru for his support. He and Ishido are then seen watching the match from the bench.
In the Inazuma Eleven GO games, it is seen on a cutscene that he is watching the finals match of the Holy Road which consists of Raimon versus the final team. Toramaru is shown watching the match alongside Ishido and Saginuma Osamu.
After this, he can be scouted for an amount of 4000 Yuujou points.
Inazuma Eleven GO Galaxy
Young form
In the Big Bang version of the game, Toramaru can be recruited by selecting him as one of the players that will join Earth Eleven during the Grand Celesta Galaxy. Otherwise, in order to recruit Toramaru, Ixal Fleet has to be defeated first in the story mode and 10 players have to be scouted from the same community master to make him a scoutable option. Also, the following requirements are needed:
His dub surname, Hobbes, is a reference to Hobbes, the stuffed tiger from the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips, which is also a reference to his hissatsu techniques, Tiger Drive and Tiger Storm.
In Inazuma Eleven 3: Sekai e no Chousen!!, differently from the Inazuma Eleven anime, Toramaru knew Endou before he, Kabeyama, Kazemaru, and Someoka defeated some bullies in a soccer battle who were tormenting him because he ran into them.
He knew about Endou due to the past events of the Aliea Gakuen tragedy, and Endou saving the world from them.
When he first debuted, his Inazuma Eleven anime outfit was different from Inazuma Eleven 3: Sekai e no Chousen!!'s:
In the anime, his outfit consists of a a blue and white tracksuit.
In the game, his outfit consists of blue shorts, and a yellow and green hoodie.
He is the youngest member of Inazuma Japan since he was in sixth grade during the FFI.
Hibiki states he has natural talent in soccer, even without hard training.
He is known to be a good cook, likely due to him helping his mother, Tae, run Toranoya and having a sense of criticism when it comes to tasting food.
In Inazuma Eleven 3: Sekai e no Chousen!!, he loosely speaks of entering Raimon, whereas, in the Inazuma Eleven anime, he enters Raimon in episode 126.
