Touya

Tohya is one of the players trapped in the MMORPG Elder Tale. He is a Samurai and has a twin sister named Minori.

Appearance
Tohya's in-game character is very much like his real-world appearance, though he is wheelchair-bound in real life. His in-game character is dressed in samurai armor and he carries around a katana.

Personality
Touya is very outgoing and sometimes rude, a foil to his well-mannered and more reserved sister. However, he has shown to be quite loyal and determined to protect those he cares about. He sees Shiroe as his mentor and surrogate big brother, along with Naotsugu.

Prior to the Catastrophe
At some point, Tohya was involved in an automobile accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down and wheelchair-bound. As a result, he often had to go to painful checkups, although Minori states that he never showed that he was in pain. Because of this, the two siblings became very close. Because it was difficult for Tohya to go outside, the two persuaded their parents to allow them to play Elder Tale so that Tohya could interact with others in a more normal fashion.

The Catastrophe arc
After logging in, Tohya and his sister, Minori, discover that they are trapped in the MMORPG Elder Tale. The two decide to explore the area and are approached by a group of shady players, seemingly asking them to join their guild.

Round Table Alliance arc
The guild they joined turned out to be Hamelin, a malevolent guild recruiting new players under the pretense of trying to help them before revealing their true colors, exploiting the EXP Pots that was freely given to newer players daily by harvesting them and selling them to large battle guilds like the Black Sword Knights and Silver Sword. Unlike Minori, Tohya was in the group of kids that was forced to hunt monsters for items that they then gave to the others to tailor. During another successful hunting trip, Isuzu slumps onto him, and he helps her walk as they travel to the Cathedral to pick up members that had died. Using the knowledge Shiroe had imparted to them prior to the Catastrophe, Tohya deduces that the reason they were never succeeding and their party members dying was because Shredder was accumulating too much Hate with his higher level, thus drawing all the monsters to him and not allowing Tohya to tank like he should be.

Fallen Guardian and Gold of the Kunie arcs
None of the members of Tohya's Party appear directly in these two arcs.

Equipment
Like his mentor Naotsugu, Tohya's battle style focuses on being a frontline tank and a Hate controller. He usually dons a katana and heavy armor.
