The animator of How to Eat Life described him as listless with an 'unpleasant' look in his eyes.
In How to Eat Life, Tobi is presented as a very aloof, apathetic, indifferent and even cynical individual, keeping distance from others most of the time, his personality does a strong contrast to his zingai, Baku, that is always very outgoing, talkative, and playful; this contrast of personalities bring some small and silly comical discussions between them sometimes, even so, they still get along very well, and have a very strong and close friendship, with them always being together
In his first appearance in Kara no Kioku, Tobi comes off as rude and somewhat abrasive. Rei notes that he looks displeased and is normally in a grumpy mood. Tobi offers advice and help to Rei which shows that he is not as unpleasant as first shown. He is generally reserved and doesn’t talk too much about himself, normally he only questions other people. He seems to be slightly annoyed by Baku and other small, for most Zingai. But from time to time he does show kindness and has the ability to read people's emotions. And he seems to get agitated when Rei talks about Hitotsume.
==Powers and Abilities==
Devouring Shadows
He can eat shadows to become stronger, but he doesn’t do it for that purpose. When a heart is separated from it's host and becomes corrupted he eats it, so he can put the heart at rest which saves it's host. He also mentions the existence of "a way to Devour life" but has not elaborated on it as of yet.
