**Touyou Momochi** (桃知 東洋, *Momochi Tōyō*?) was the first major antagonist of the anime *All-Star Taimanin*, who was a traitor who betrayed the Taimanin and became a terrorist out of his desires for conquest and victory.

## Appearance

Touyou donned an entirely-black samurai-like armor with spikes all over it. His helmet had horns on the forehead, red visors on the eyepieces and white hair hanging at the back. His armor also had arm blades on the gauntlets and chains wrapped around his right arm and left leg. He wore a dark-blue torn scarf.

## Personality

He was a very determined ideologically driven person. Hating the United States and People's Republic of China and seeing the war as the worst of humanity itself, he wishes to see these two superpowers destroyed, resorting to several immoral acts to cause disruptions in them and collect data so that their weaknesses could be exploited. Touyou also despised the Japanese government for being run by incompetent and weak-willed politicians, as well as the Taimanin for being "lapdogs of the governments". However, even as a former Taimanin who has severed ties with them, he still had little admiration left with them, as shown when he had respect for Asagi Igawa even as an enemy, and had expectations for them to guide humanity to the right path, since while he didn't like the Justice Alliance for being more merciful than they needed to be, he lamented their demise in the Mycenean War and secretly wanted the Taimanin to take their place as the new protectors and guardians of a strong human race where he believes should be the rulers of their own destinies. He also has great hatred towards demons as a whole and desired a complete genocide of all demonkind on Earth, be they good or evil. To achieve these objectives, he would use draconian methods, such as joining NOMAD to gather data from them and then leaving, allow many of his comrades to die or sacrifice some of his own to get these done.

He was also aware of his own weakness, being a Taimanin who didn't have a Ninja Art, and sought power in whatever way he could reach, such as when he drank demon blood to become more powerful but also poison his own body in the process.

## Background

### His Purpose

The Taimanin Task Force sought after Touyou and discovered him in a factory, to stop his plans and retrieve back the data he stole. After an even battle between the Task Force and the betrayer's renegade forces, Touyou battled Asagi again but his body had been very weakened and he had been coughing up more blood because of the demon blood he consumed. To make matters worse, Omorfia Astaroth appeared, took the data from Touyou and had a succubus lackey of hers leak it to the world's media, to destroy NOMAD's image and reveal to all their crimes. Omorfia fended off the Taimanin, as they were unable to stop the data from getting leaked. Fia, suspected that Touyou knew too much from the data, was about to kill him but after the Taimanin became persistent to stop the demoness from harming the man, she decided to have herself a little more fun by ridding them of their misery. Throughout the fight against her, Fia had an overwhelming advantage against the Taimanin, even as Asagi and Touyou decided on a truce and fought together. After Noah Brown drank Kotaro's blood from the wound that he slit on his had as a desperate measure, she was able to distract Fia enough for Asagi and Touyou to deal damage at her. Knowing she had enough after getting hurt, Fia caused an explosion that send everyone flying and to the ground and fled. Nagi quickly escaped with her weakening father before the smoke cleared.
