Tohru Kunikuda/Relationships

## Tohru and Koshi

Koshi Tanaka and Tohru Kunikuda don't necessarily have the best relationship. Despite the way it appears to be, Tanaka doesn't actually care for Tohru at all. He finds him as an annoyance and an utter disturbance, and simply uses him for his own personal gain as he does with most other people. Although Tanaka defended Tohru from bullies and was generally kind to him when they were both in elementary school together, he never considered him anything more than a school friend and only assisted him because he believed it was the right thing to do. In the Liar Liar Demo, Tanaka is revealed to have been using Tohru as a stepping stool to getting closer to unraveling Yukari Minamida and Miho Sonoda. It was stated that Koshi Tanaka would actually laugh at Tohru if he did attempt to confess his feelings.

Tohru on the other hand adored Koshi Tanaka, and was utterly devastated they stopped speaking to one another for so long. He considered Tanaka his absolute best friend, and had/has a majorly possessive crush on him. When he found out he was being used by Tanaka, it very obviously crushed and upset him. In the Liar Liar 2: Pants on Fire ending where Tohru painfully amputates Tanaka's legs, he accordingly took him somewhere secluded where he couldn't get away so that his parents couldn't find out. In the far past, Tohru was extremely jealous when he found out Yukari and Tanaka had began dating in the past, but didn't want to intervene because he didn't want to upset his crush by killing off somebody who he held dear. Of course, he was extremely excited when he found out Tanaka and Yukari broke off the relationship.

## Tohru and Akira

In the "Don't look for Him/Her" ending of the Liar Liar 2 demo, Tohru is captured by Akira Tobitaka after he goes on a hunt to find Minami Minamida for Yukari. He kept him as a slave for the time being. Ironically, Minami was with Akira, as he was the cause of her consensual disappearance, and the both of them tortured Tohru endlessly for months (or possibly even a year or so). This left him with no arm and no tongue, along with horrible facial bandages. The possibilities are endless with Akira... Tohru covered himself up completely once he finally got free, keeping his body as hidden as possible. It's said that Akira would enjoy picking on Tohru and scaring him due to how easily it is to startle him and rile him up.

## Tohru and Minami

In the "Don't look for Him/Her" ending of the Liar Liar 2 demo, Tohru is captured by both Akira Tobitaka and Minami after he went on a search to find her for Yukari despite not knowing her beforehand. There, both Akira and Minami kept him as a slave, torturing him endlessly for months (or possibly even a year or so). At some point during his time with the two, Minami cut out Tohru's tongue for questioning if she'd like to run away with him and be free of Akira. Asides from that, he was left with a cut off arm and many facial bandages. Tohru covered himself up completely once he finally got free, keeping his body as hidden as possible.

## Tohru and Yukari

Tohru Kunikuda and Yukari Minamida have a perfectly fine relationship. He trusts and cares for her more than he does with most other people, going so far as to consider her a friend. They both seem to enjoy each other's presence after finding out about both Miho Sonoda and Koshi Tanaka's betrayals towards them. Rather soon the two of them opened up towards one another, getting cozy around each other. He was rather worried for Yukari's sister for her, offering to help and continuing to look even after Yukari and Wakabayashi became one and refused to help any longer. Tohru seems to have known about Yukari in the past since she was dating Tanaka, and did envy her for a short while. Once Yukari and Tanaka broke up, he never seemed to bat much of an eye towards her again until the events of Liar Liar 2: Pants on Fire and the Liar Liar 2 demo.

## Tohru and Miho

Tohru and Miho don't seem to be on the best of terms, however it's hard to determine if the two are okay with each other or not. Tanaka had tricked Tohru into spying on both Miho and Yukari for him, which clearly wasn't to Miho's liking. He was threatened by her at some point with force, a sharp weapon getting used to make him crack under pressure so that Koshi Tanaka would spill what she wanted him to. Tohru's seemingly not afraid of her, but of course she's not somebody he wants to be around. He believes the way Miho treated Yukari was gross, and wanted Yukari to have better.

## Tohru and Yukabayashi

Tohru accidentally created Yukabayashi by attempting to summon a spirit to aid his and Yukari's quest in finding Minami. This ultimately backfired, as it was the ghost of Satoru Wakabayashi. Carelessly, the dead student possessed Yukari and they became one. Tohru seemed to find them slightly annoying for getting caught up in attention so often, as he was hopeful they would come along with him to find Minami Minamida- the entire reason Yukabayashi was even created. However, even if he acted like he hated him, his true feelings towards them causes Tohru to help Yukabayashi reach stardom in the "Ticket to Stardom!" ending of the Liar Liar 2 demo.

In the "Don't look for Him/Her" endings of the same game, Yukabayashi mourns over Tohru, Minami and Akira disappearance and continues to look for them.

## Tohru and Nao

Nao and Tohru only had one encounter in one ending, which is when Tohru gets free from Akira Tobitaka and Minami Minamida in the Liar Liar 2 demo. He simply gives a letter to her so that it may get back to Yukabayashi.
