History and Personality: Touya is the ice master of the shinobi of the demon world. His team, Mashoutsukai, competed in the Dark Tournament, hoping to claim the island it was held on as their own. They had spent most of their lives in darkness, so over time, they developed a desire for the light. Touya is perhaps the one who desires it the most, for of his team, he is probably the most mature and experienced. He despises cowardly and dishonorable acts. He stood up to Risho, the team leader, when Risho tried to win against Team Urameshi using low and cowardly means. Touya is unfortunate to face Kurama in the tournament, likely the only member of Team Urameshi who could defeat him. The fight is very close (due to Kurama being both seriously injured and having his energy bound in his previous match), ending with both combatants unconscious. However, Kurama is the victor. Despite having been defeated, or perhaps because of it, Touya has great respect for Kurama.
Touya returns later in the series during the Makai Tournament saga. He makes it past the preliminaries, but is defeated by one of Raizen's old friends. Before his fight, he gives Kurama the answer to a question Kurama had asked him during the Dark Tournament. Kurama had asked him what he would do after he found the light. At the time, Touya had no answer, replying simply that the light came first. Now he has his answer; he will fight.Relationships: The only member of Touya's team to which he seems to have any personal attachment is Jin. this is likely because both have a true respect for honor and for those they fight against. The two remain friends even after their team dissolves and their ninja sect is disbanded.
Techniques: Shards of Winter, various ice attacks including the formation of a blade of ice extending from his forearm.
Why we love him: He's an awesome fighter with a sense of honor and a cool personality (pun intended, and, yes, in every way 'cool' both slang and literal). He is wise, calm, experiences, and honorable. Plus, you know, he ain't bad on the eyes either... for an ice demon.
