Tobi Otogiri

Basic Info: Tobi Otogiri (弟切飛, Otogiri Tobi) is the main protagonist of the Music Video "How to Eat Life", its novels and manga, Fight Song, as well as the deuteragonist in the Kara no Kioku manga, and one of the protagonists in "Tobi And Ryuuko." He is a seemingly full-time Zingai Hunter, serving under an organization to clean up the streets of Tokyo and ensure that, if one of these monsters went out of control, they would not cause harm to people. He does this by eating the zingai after defeating them in battle. He is always seen with, and has a deep attachment to, his talking bag, Baku. Reserved, Detached, Easily Annoyed, aloof, caring.

Personality: Tobi is 168cm tall, though he claims to be 170cm. Tobi is shown as reserved, distant, detached and even aloof, having no interest in involving with others, rarely speaking to anyone besides Baku. His personality does a strong contrast to Baku, who is always very talkative, friendly and playful; this contrast of personalities bring some small and silly comical discussions between them sometimes, even so, they still get along very well, and have a very strong and close friendship, with them always being together. Many people have described him as listless, with a scary look in his eyes. He is also very mentally tough, having no mercy in battle. In his first appearance in Kara no Kioku, Tobi comes off as mysterious, intimidating, and frightening. It's noted that he looks displeased and grumpy, which make people feel scared of him. Tobi offers advice and help which shows that he is not as scary as first shown. He is generally reserved and doesn’t talk too much about himself, normally only questioning others. Besides everything, from time to time he does show kindness and has the ability to read people's emotions. He also seems to get agitated and curious when Rei talks about "Hitotsume". In Insomnia and Sayonara End Roll, he also seems to have a somewhat caring side, helping his friend clean out his apartment and visiting him in the detention center after his arrest.

Appearance: Tobi wears a black turtleneck and long sleeved shirt, sometimes wearing a black oversized jacket with a hood over it, and having sharp-toothed smile-themed prints on the sleeves, the jacket's interior being red. He wears loose black pants tied at his waist, long black socks, and chunky black sneakers with red soles. He also wears black fingerless gloves, described as "gloves for punching", he has a helix piercing on his left ear only. He does not care about getting dirty with blood or dirt, but seems to really care about his shoes, probably due to how much he walks around, jumping through buildings and what-not. When Tobi uses some of his powers, specifically when he merges with Baku, he gains some of his traits, such as his hands becoming fully gray and having claws, and growing a mouth on his cheek close to one of his eyes. When he enters erosion, his sclera become black, he gains two extra eyes under his original pair, and most of his body gets covered by a shadow-like mass, with many spikes similar to sharp teeth, also growing a tail.

Ability: Tobi is a highly flexible and agile brawler, tending to use his size to his advantage as well as centrifugal force to take down larger enemies. He casually jumps through rooftops with little care to the danger, showing his experience. He can merge with Baku to achieve a higher level of power, though Tobi notes that Tobi cannot control himself in this state.

Work: Tobi is a full-time zingai hunter for The Mysterious Organization known as "The Flower Shop", utilizing information given to him by his also blunt co-worker, Monika, to locate and exterminate zingai in a determined area of Tokyo. He uses his incredible experience with fighting as well as help from Baku to do this, eating the zingai in the end.
