The son of a classical musician and a prodigy, Toya aims to surpass the legendary event RAD WEEKEND and has started composing for Vivid BAD SQUAD. Despite initially feeling overwhelmed after seeing the heights he would need to climb to reach that goal, he now hopes to use his experience to surmount this wall with his team and see the view from the top. Toya's father was a famous classical musician and trained Toya and his two older brothers in classical music from a very young age, specifically piano and violin. His father would isolate Toya and force him to study classical music at all hours of the day. This caused him to despise his father, and by association, the entirety of classical music. As such, he started performing street music to rebel against his father and eventually met Akito while singing on the street. He sang together with Akito under the name BAD DOGS before forming Vivid BAD SQUAD with An and Kohane. Even after joining Vivid BAD SQUAD, he still operates under the BAD DOGS unit with Akito. Toya has sharp grey eyes and a mole under the corner of his left eye. His hair is short and bicolored, the right side a dark blue, the left a light blue. His voice is cool and calm. He wears a white hoodie with the letter "'n" printed on a small tag on the right of the hem under a green denim jacket with frayed spots, red stripes down the sleeves, and a red strap with the word "worth" printed along its length hanging from the right pocket. He wears black denim pants with frayed holes in the knees and a hanging red belt with a white stripe through the middle. Toya is quiet and calm but has a strong mind. His face is often deadpan, and people other than Akito and Tsukasa have difficulty reading his expressions. When people talk to him, they usually mistake him for being rude, as he is blunt and often misphrases his statements. Until becoming part of Vivid BAD SQUAD, he wasn't one to smile frequently. Despite his stoic demeanor, he is kind and quick to help others. He can occasionally be airheaded or gullible. He is good at studying and gets high grades, a trait that he shares with Kohane. He can sometimes be strict with Akito about the latter neglecting his studies. With Akito: Fellow group member and best friend. They met in middle school and have been practically inseparable ever since. Akito helped him find where he belongs after he quit classical music and understands Toya's distant relationship with his father. They are partners in the unit BAD DOGS and trust each other a lot. Toya feels thankful to have Akito in his life. The two have a unique dynamic between them, as Akito is shown to be very protective of Toya, especially when Rui and Tsukasa are involved, likely due to his knowledge of Toya's gullibility and difficulty communicating. Toya is also the only character shown to have any sway over Akito's stubbornness, as on various occasions he's convinced Akito to participate in activities he didn't want to do, such as when Akito refused to help Rui as an extra dancer in An Ode for the Pure of Heart but changed his mind after Toya made his heartfelt plea to him. In THE POWER OF UNITY, KAITO claims that Akito and Toya are similar to Souma and Arata and goes on to point out that they love each other, which is then re-established in Toya's first chapter of Vivid BAD Squad's world link, BREAK DOWN THE WALL, when a poster of Arata and Souma's team, Gurney Flap, appeared in the new SEKAI. The poster was breaking away, which made Toya think that it could be reminiscent of how Arata left Vivid Street and Souma in Light Up The Fire, but he follows it up by saying that he believes in them, then goes on to mention his relationship with Akito by stating that they are indeed similar in the way that they both love their partners, and in the way that they wanted to surpass RAD WEEKEND together. During episode 18 of Vivid BAD Squad's Main Story, Toya mentions that Akito is his first true friend and thought that ‘a person like himself’ would only weigh down Akito’s dream. He goes on to say that even An and Kohane are more suitable to carry his ambitions because they’re more similar to him in the way that they chose their path and wholeheartedly believe that they could keep going. But in episode 19, Akito goes on to confront Toya about this and says that he would never team up with anybody other than Toya. Akito then calls Toya the best partner he could ever ask for who just thought that he was halfhearted, despite that not being true. As a testament to how close they are, he’s the only non-VIRTUAL SINGER character that Toya refers to by their first name without using any honorifics. In Walk on and on, Toya states that he trusts Akito more than anyone else, and wants to remain by his side as his partner “from now and forever”. Because Akito has done so much for him, Toya wants to help Akito in the same way Akito has helped him, and goes out of his way in many cases to take care of him.
