"A young prodigy who was born into a famous family of classical musicians. While aiming to surpass the legendary event "RAD WEEKEND", Toya is also trying his hand at composing music. Despite being overwhelmed by the true level of the legendary event, by using the experience he has gained so far, he is now more eager than ever to overcome the barriers in order to see the view that lies beyond them together with his teammates."
Background[edit | edit source]
Toya's father raised him exclusively with classical music, learning the piano and violin. He had an extraordinary sense of music due to being educated since a very young age. His father, however, used to isolate and force him to study classical music 24/7, causing him to despise his father and by association the entirety of classical music. As such, he started performing everything else but classical music to spite his father.

Personality[edit | edit source]
Toya is silent but strong. He tends to keep to himself but deep down is truly grateful for his friends. He’s a well-mannered and polite person, but also comes off as cold at first. He cares deeply for his friends and also can be quite gullible at times. In Vivid BAD SQUAD’s main story, he feels like he isn’t passionate enough to stand at Akito’s side because he saw street music as a way to escape his father, which leads to him telling Akito that he should find a better partner than him. However, he overcomes this and realizes he wants to surpass RAD WEEKEND, just like the other members of Vivid BAD SQUAD.
Relationships[edit | edit source]

- Tenma Tsukasa: An upperclassman whom he "looks up to." The two are childhood friends, as Tsukasa's mother is a piano teacher. In the Kamikou Festival event, Toya mentions that he considers Tsukasa his "savior", as it was Tsukasa who told him it was okay to do the things he wanted, and to not do things he hated. This gave Toya the courage to quit classical music, and he says if it weren't for Tsukasa, the person he was today wouldn't exist.
