History

Born and raised in Asakusa, Toyo grew so fond of the city that he set up an udon cart at its edge to stay there. In the Asakusa arc, during Tanjiro's second assignment investigating a demonic presence, the overwhelmed slayer flees the crowded streets and stops at Toyo's stall. As he prepares to eat, he detects the scent linked to the slaughter of his family and bolts after it, knocking his bowl to the ground.

When Tanjiro returns, Toyo scolds him for the wasted meal, so the boy buys another bowl, then a second when Toyo presses Nezuko to eat as well. Toyo watches in astonishment as Tanjiro finishes both portions almost instantly, then waves the siblings off warmly as they leave, thanking them for their patronage (Episode 7).
