## Personality

Many aspects of Toshio’s personality are what might be expected to be a doctor, he cares greatly for his friends and patients, and vows to do everything he can do to save them.

He doesn’t do it for the Maeda family or for money. He is serious and reliable during his work, though he can be cranky and sarcastic. He is also friendly and kind to his friends, young people, and children in the village.

During the akuma extermination, he displayed qualities of leadership.

Being the skilled doctor he is, he is quick to respond to medical emergencies within any team looking for clues and
