Tohsaka

The family is a Magus lineage belonging to the Clock Tower of the Mage's Association.
==Characteristics==
A lineage with a history worth about 200 years,Fate/hollow ataraxia - 10/10 - Streets - Rin's sorcery lesson they were once that lived inside a then foreigners-intolerant Japan. Their first head, Nagato Tohsaka, was considered the least promising of Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg's pupils. But by six generations after, the time of Rin and Sakura, the family had improved to the point of reaching the second place. They possess good connections in both the Mage's Association, due to their relationship with Zelretch, and the Holy Church, thanks to their faith. In the time of Rin's grandfather, the Tohsaka mingled with the scholars in Kamakura.Fate/hollow ataraxia - Other - Special - Sisters' summer (apple)
The Tohsaka are experts in the use of Jewel Magecraft and a secret style of Chinese Kenpo, the latter due to Nagato's emphasis in the training of not only Magecraft, but also Martial Arts. Thanks to the sudden and relatively recent progress of their mastery of Jewel Magecraft, as well as the introduction of the Gandr into their magical repertory, it is believed that the Tohsaka lineage was able to incorporate the Edelfelts' knowledge of Magecraft into their own through the younger Edelfelt twin that was supposedly defeated during the Third Heaven's Feel, for the members of that family (such as Luviagelita Edelfelt) are well known for being very capable in the use of both. It is unknown if the Tohsaka gained the abilities from the Edelfelt twin marrying with the head of the Tohsaka family of that time or simply by having her Magic Crest stolen. The former being more likely, considering both Rin and Luvia's similarities, Tokiomi being a descendant of a foreigner, Rin (and Sakura) being a quarter foreignFate/hollow ataraxia - Night - Emiya's - In London and the Edelfelts being considered distant relatives of the Tohsaka.
Back when the Tohsaka were developing the ritual of the Heaven's Feel along with the Makiri and the Einzbern, Nagato's daughter played a greater role in the completion of the Holy Grail War system than her father. The Tohsaka role in the Heaven's Feel is to provide the use of their Spiritual Land to the ritual.Fate/stay night - Fate route - Day 13: infinity arms - You're my only star
It is known that one of Tokiomi's parents was a foreigner, as Rin mentions to Luvia that she is a quarter foreign. Since his father was the head of the Tohsaka during the Third Holy Grail War, his mother must be the one that is a foreigner.
In the Apocrypha world, the Tohsaka gave up on the Holy Grail and searched for another method to reach the Root in Fuyuki. They now seek a new path in becoming one with the universe with Chinese Kenpou while learning Magecraft.
In the EXTRA universe, the Tohsaka family was mostly destroyed in the 1990s.Fate/the Fact - Interview with Rin Tohsaka
