History
As the Fifth Kazekage travelled home from the Kage Summit, he sent Tobimaru on ahead to Sunagakure to deliver word of the outcome. In his name, tobi means to fly, paired with maru, a common suffix for boys' names conveying perfection or a full circle. Databook notes tie him to Takamaru as son to father, even if the ages given across the sources fail to match up neatly.
