* Liar Liar 2 Demo

* Blood Idol Ver. 1
* Blood Idol Ver. 2

**Tohru Kunikuda** is a main character in *Liar Liar 2: Pants on Fire* and the *Liar Liar 2 Demo*, as well as in *Blood Idol Wakabayashi.*

## Appearance

Tohru is described as a pale gothic boy who usually hangs out in the occult club. He has short, muted purple hair that covers one of his eyes and barely brushes the other. He’s seen wearing the common school uniform, along with a golden cross choker and one golden cross earring. In Blood Idol Wakabayashi, he is seen wearing a black sleeveless dress with frilly edges, and the cross choker gets replaced with a black frilly choker.

## Personality

Tohru is an anxious and quiet person, who seems to have trouble talking to some people throughout the game. He seems to be lovestruck over Tanaka, following everything that he says without question. Once warmed up to someone, he gets very giddy and excited about his interests, as seen with Yukari in the Liar Liar 2 Demo when choosing to help out with his ritual. With characters like Wakabayashi, a more stern and determined side pops out.

## Backstory

His parents are very strict and overbearing, wanting him to follow in their exact footsteps so that he will be successful like them. They're depicted as the kind of parents who believe they're helping, but are ultimately making things worse. He's put under pressure by them both a lot, as they seem to only speak about his future and his love for all things witchcraft. Tohru prefers not being in his own home because of this, and tries to stay out as much as possible. Back in elementary school, he was picked on and bullied (whether this was physically or just verbally has yet to be stated) by the other students. During this time, Tohru and Koshi Tanaka were "pals", as Koshi defended Tohru and stood up for him. Eventually they lost their closeness while growing up, not talking for four years until one fateful day.

## Trivia

* Tohru's age was once said to be one year older than the rest of the cast. This has since been clarified and restated, as Akira Tobitaka is the eldest.
* Tohru has a pet pig named "Hamlet". When first getting into paganism and witchcraft, he did fall for the whole “cult ritual sacrifice” stuff. He was originally going to use it for some form of a ritual, but the pig loved him too much for him to be able to actually slaughter it[.
* Tohru is religious, as he's confirmed to be a Pagan.
* Tohru collects "creepy/cursed" looking dolls.
* Tohru is the only member in the Occult Club, and it's leader. Miho Sonoda has threatened it with disbandment, but he often scares off new members with his welcoming ceremony.
	+ If other members joined the Occult Club, anything he said would be like the official law.
	+ They would participate in Pagan practices: setting up altars, celebrating Beltane and Yule, cleansing items with sage and incense, lighting specific candles, witchcraft[*citation needed*].
	+ They would also collect items, and listen to gothic punk music.
* He sighs a lot in succession.
* He tells his parents that his favorite subjects are math and science to make them happy. However, he is passionate about literature.
* Tohru is an only child.
* Tohru's mother is a pharmacist, and his father is a surgeon.
* He planned to be in the first game, however the creator thought it would take longer and didn't know how to include him.
* He is the only character in-game to refer to Koshi Tanaka by his first name.
* Tohru's voice would sound unsure, anxious, and in a low register to appear more masculine[*citation needed*].
* He has a Link Park poster in his room
	+ This may be a typo, or a replacement name for the American rock band *Linkin Park*.
* He would be embarrassed without his eyeliner.
* Tohru is stated to be demiromantic pansexual.
