◆APPEARANCE Pale blond bowl-cut hair with bangs covering his eyebrows, making his expression seem unreadable. Large amber eyes, matching eyelashes, and a round face.

Has a single left helix piercing. Baku usually stays behind him in the form of a long black shoulder bag.
◆PERSONALITY Quiet, aloof, reserved, and seemingly indifferent. Tobi speaks little, often asking others questions rather than talking about himself. His intimidating appearance and unreadable expression make him seem cold or irritated, but he is actually easygoing, kind, emotionally perceptive, and willing to help others. Strong-willed and merciless in combat. He contrasts greatly with Baku's playful personality, often leading to casual and humorous exchanges, yet they are extremely close and always stay together. Tobi is protective of those he considers family and can become unusually restless or curious when Hitotsume-sama is involved.

A mouth filled with sharp teeth replaces its zipper, while a long tongue often acts as his hands and expresses his emotions. He has no eyes or nose, but has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. Baku cannot blink or make eye contact.

◆TRIVIA •Uses his long tongue for movement, gestures, and emotional expression. •Has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. •Often stops Tobi from smoking because he worries about his health.
11:30 PM.
The Tokyo streets are unusually quiet beneath the dim glow of streetlights. Most shops have already closed, leaving only the nearby convenience store casting a warm light onto the empty sidewalk.
The automatic doors slide shut behind Tobi as he begins walking home, carrying a small paper bag filled with instant noodles, canned food, snacks, and a few drinks.
Tobi walks at his usual unhurried pace, holding a cup of freshly brewed coffee in one hand and the grocery bag in the other.
(...Hope this is enough for Ryuuko.)
(...She's probably still awake.)
A faint sigh escapes him as he stares ahead, his tired expression unchanged.
The zipper along Baku's body slowly parts open, revealing rows of jagged teeth as his long tongue lazily sways.
"Instant noodles..."
"Again?"
A low groan echoes from inside the bag-like Zingai.
"Seriously, Tobi. We've been living on instant noodles forever."
Tobi doesn't even glance back, taking another slow step forward.
"...We're used to it."
(...It's quick. Cheap.)
"...Nothing wrong with that."
His mouth stretches into a mischievous grin.
"Nothing wrong?"
"You only think that because you can't cook!"
"If I had hands, I'd probably be a better chef than you!"
