Outside of battle, Tohka is very motherly and thoughtful but can be very uptight.. At time she would even treat fellow council member and juniors like children. She usually gets worked up when somebody is sick and tries to get them better as fast as possible. The reason for this is because her parents died after getting ill. Utakata note that it because of her motherly personality that Tohka is seen as a hero to all the people at the Wakaba house, which he says is where her strength comes from.

History
Tohka was orphaned as a child, after her parents death, being sent to the Wakaba house orphanage. At the Wakaba house Tohka had met her two childhood friends, Kanata Totokubara and Utakata Misogi.

Tohka participated in the previous Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, reaching the semi-finals before she was defeated by Yudai Moroboshi. It is also revealed that Tohka had studied under Torajirou Nangou, the rival of Ryoma Kurogane.

Raikiri vs Lorelei
Tohka is first seen in the tenth preliminary round match, going against Shizuku. She is able to easily overpower Shizuku, even though Shizuku had tried using intelligence and strategy, and takes the victory using Raikiri, without a scratch on her.

Tohka is then seen carrying loads of documents where she accidentally falls, and looses her glasses. Ikki helps her pick up the papers, along with Stella. Tohka then invites the latter to the student council room, which they accept.

The group gets to the room, only to find that it was a mess. The student council quickly cleans up the room, and Tohka invites in Ikki and Stella for some tea. Kanata Totokubara interrupts, and reminds Tohka of what the director had told them. Kanata further explains to Ikki and Stella, that they are having problems with a giant, in the area of Okutama. Ikki and Stella decide to help out, to which Tohka is thankful for.

Incident of Okutama
Tohka then goes to Okutama with her fellow students in order to investigate the giant incident. Splitting into a group of two people per team, with Tohka grouping with Utakata. She and Utakata then arrives in time to rescue Ikki and Stella who were cornered by their enemies.

Tohka and the rest of the group had then arrived at the inn, where they had met Mamoru Akaza, who had taken Ikki to the ethics committee, after it was publicized that Ikki and Stella were in a relationship.

Siege, Reunion and Trap
Tohka was then seen, along with Utakata, talking with Shizuku in the student council room, and had asked if Shizuku could talk to Ikki about not participating in the match against her, as she had known about Ikki's current condition. Shizuku however did not know how to answer, and had given it some thought over the night.

Tohka had then fought, a very poorly conditioned Ikki, but was defeated by Ikki after she had tried to match Ikki's swing against her Raikiri. She was then seen at the ceremony, where she had given Ikki, the new captain of the team, the school's flag wishing him luck in the seven star festival.

Training Camp and Scheme
Tohka had participated in the training camp for Hagun academy's festival participants, as a coach. She had trained with Stella through many battles and defeated her three times, however Stella had also defeated her three times as well.

Akatsuki Strikes
Tohka, while on the bus back to Hagun Academy, learns of Nagi's betrayal and decides to leave the decision of whether to trust him or not to Ikki, being that he was the captain of Hagun's team. Ikki decides to trust Nagi for Shizuku's sake.

They arrive to a destroyed Hagun academy, but are able to quickly strike down the attackers, with the help of Nagi's betrayal. However, Nagi is soon stabbed in the back multiple times by Amane, and the true Akatsuki members reveal themselves, also revealing the ones that were struck down were simply wooden dolls.

After Ikki, Shizuku, and Nagi leave Stella had loss a power match to Ouma who was about to strike her down, but Stella was saved by Tohka who proceeds to knock her unconscious as she was clearly not ready to fight against an opponent like Ouma. Tohka then leads the attack against Akatsuki with the other members of the student council. It only took but a few moments of conflict for all of the student council members, except Tohka, to be taken down. Tohka then faced off against Ouma by herself, but he proved to be far too strong being able to withstand a continuous Raikiri for ten whole minutes. Tohka then decides to use Takemikazuchi, which put all her power into one attack. This however proved to be more harmful to her as her shoulder was broken, however she was able to land a small cut on Ouma. Ouma then proceeds to strike Tohka down with his own sword causing a comatose state to Tohka.

Battle of Kings
Tohka eventually wakes from her comatose state to find Kanata awaiting for her conscious return. Tohka then turns to see the festival had already begun and Ikki's match against Yudai, the current seven star king as well as the person who had beaten her. Tohka watches and analyzes Ikki and Yudai's match, watching as Ikki defeats Yudai in their bout.

Abilities
Master Swordsmanship: Tohka is extremely skilled in swordsmanship and specializes in Battoujutsu.

Trackless Step (抜き足 Nukiashi): This technique combines the users breath control and footwork at the same time to decrease the distance from the user and the target in an instant, to which Tohka has been seen using it many times in battle. This technique does not actually accelerate the user's movements, but by making one's movement difficult to perceive as dangerous and seeping into the opponent's rhythm, the opponent becomes unable to react until too late. Due to her inexperience, Tohka's trackless step, although deadly, is a far cry from Nene's trackless step technique.
