Toru

*“You, just sit down. Why don't you take a nap or just sit there bewildered in silence? And most of all, you'd better not be getting any ideas of coming towards me.”*

**Toru** is the leader of the Locacaca Orginization and the main antagonist of *JoJolion.* He is the seventh antagonist of the series.

He is a Rock Human who was born some in recent history. Through unknown means he became the leader of the Locacaca Organization and sought after the effects of the mysterious Locacaca fruit in the town of Morioh. He took on the identity of Satoru Akefu, the retired Head Doctor of T.G. University Hospital. He reassumed the position of Head Doctor and hired other Rock Humans to research the Locacaca.

Toru himself acts as an intern at the hospital and was Yasuho Hirose's ex-boyfriend. At some point he is discovered by Yasuho, Josuke Higashikata, and Rai Mamezuku, and he races the three of them for the New Locacaca fruit. During the final confrontation for the New Locacaca, Toru faces off with the entire Higashikata family, but is caught off guard by Kaato Higashikata's Stand, which she uses to manipulate the calamity into exchanging her grandson Tsurugi's disease for Toru. Toru turns to dust as the disease takes him over, and he finally disappears.

He is a Stand user, wielding the calamity inducing Stand, Wonder of U.

## History

### Early History

Toru was born the same as other rock humans, birthed from a Rock Female and raised until the age of 17 by a hive of hornets. One day, at an unknown time period, Toru emerged from the ground among his Rock Human brethren and walked towards a small town.

At an unknown point in time, Toru became interested in the Locacaca fruit, and began growing it in the holy land in Morioh along what would become the Wall Eyes faults. He placed the Rock Organism, Radio Gaga there, to guard the land where he was growing the fruit.

For the next few decades Toru's history is unknown. Presumably, he kept an eye on Morioh and continued his research into the Locacaca fruit, also probably growing his league of Rock Human affiliates.

### Contemporary History

In 2001, Toru became interested in assimilating into TG University Hospital to continue his research and development. He somehow came into the knowledge that Yasuho Hirose's Stand had the power to track people on the internet and came into contact with her as a 10-year-old girl. He befriended her at a summer camp and got her to find him a suitable candidate to steal the identity of- one Satoru Akefu, 79-year-old former head doctor of TG University Hospital. Toru uses this information to steal his identity and turn his Stand, Wonder of U, into him.

Sometime afterward, Toru infiltrated the hospital along with Poor Tom, Wu Tomoki, and Ryo Shimosato. Their research got them to developing the Locacaca 6251, but it is unknown for how long and when development started. When Holy Joestar-Kira started research as well, Toru and the doctors began experiment on her, leading to her developing a brain-deteriorating illness.

After this Toru would eventually re-meet Yasuho in high school and begin to date her, also pursuing other means of making a profit by pitching his inventions to companies like Apple, but instead got rejected.

### Conflict with the Higashikatas

At some point, it became known to Toru that Josuke Higashikata was born and had created the New Locacaca fruit. He sent his subordinates from the hospital after him and Jobin Higashikata to retrieve it but ultimately failed. He had Poor Tom killed after he "successfully" retrieved the branch, and lured Josuke, Yasuho, and Rai Mamezuku to the hospital.

The trio arrived, searching for the elusive Head Doctor, and Toru made his presence known by chatting with Yasuho and catching up after all the lost time.

## Personality

Toru is very ambitious, as he himself wants to rule the medical world with the marvels of the Locacaca fruit and has even made an invention that he wanted to send to Apple, but it was rejected. He is cunning and sly, and it seems that his relationships are mostly fueled by an ulterior motive, as he followed Yasuho throughout her life and caused calamities around her.

## Abilities

### Wonder of U

With Toru's Stand Wonder of U, he is able to protect himself from attackers by sending "calamities" in their direction. If someone even has the intent to pursue him or the Head Doctor, they will be met with danger. The more they want to pursue them, the more dangerous the thing gets sent their way. The Stand is also capable of merging between a human form and a Stand form, and it appears that those who know its true identity are able to see the Stand form and those who are unaware (or are non-Stand Users) only see him as the Head Doctor.

## Age

It is unknown how old Toru really is, but he appears to be around 19 years old, the same age as Yasuho. He appears during the flashback portion of the final episode in the year 1941, which would make him at the very least 87 years old.
