The murderer of his students was the previous Champion of The Dark Tournament, a demon called Kairen. Toguro's desire for death in mortal combat at the hands of a human being is later revealed to be a philosophical and psychological phenomenon, possibly derived from the trauma caused by the deaths of his students, which occurred many years prior to the beginning of the series. Throughout the Dark Tournament, while it seemed that Sakyo was pulling the strings, it is slowly revealed that Toguro was the real one who manipulated the Tournament to his own ends he wished to be killed at full strength by Yusuke Urameshi. For example, during the time of the tournament's finals, in the English dub, Toguro literally kicks his older brother off the island and heavily knocks him into the nearby ocean with one heavy punch after the older sibling sadistically mocks Genkai for her decisions in life in front of the tournament's entire audience (in the manga and Japanese anime version his brother suggested that they cheat, something that personally insulted Younger Toguro, who pointed this out just before he kicked his brother off the island, stating that he had forsaken his humanity but never his honor). But while in the presence of individuals who behave dishonorably, cheat, mock, or otherwise do not follow the rules, he displays a ruthless and highly brutal behavioral pattern. He is also very loyal to his employer, as long as he is under contract. Toguro prefers not to take the lives of anyone unless the job demands it, and usually ends up apologizing for his actions afterwards. However, underneath this composed exterior lies a man with a powerful, self-applying and dependable code of personal honor and general morals. He mostly speaks plainly and firmly to others, and is never afraid to speak his mind. His only accentuated facial expressions are present when he is either very happy, usually during an exciting fight, or very angry, against posers and dishonorable people. Throughout the series, Younger Toguro displays a calm, relaxed attitude, hardly ever showing any signs of emotion. ![]() He wore a dark blue sleeveless martial arts dogi with a sewn-together section at its right shoulder blade, matching dark blue pants, purple sash belt, and violet martial arts shoes. When he was human, he was still rather tall and muscular, but had a slightly softer looking face and expressive hazel eyes, without any sunglasses. When he was finally defeated by Yusuke, his gray skin begins to crack and shatter all over his body as he forcibly reverts to his human form, albeit with broken muscle-like appendages all over his body and his skin turning pale white. When he reaches maximum capacity, his pants and shoes are almost entirely ripped to shreds, leaving only the shorts-like remains of his pants and belt, and is left barefoot. It is hinted that the demonic appearance of Toguro's transformation is derived from Kairen's general design and physique. His skin turns gray and his shoulders grow in tremendous size with a pointed appearance whilst also gaining a pair of tube-like appendages coming out of his shoulders. Upon reaching the full extent of this transformation, Toguro's body becomes interlaced with vein-like muscle fibers. Before he transforms into that state, he will remove his olive green trench coat or go shirtless by ripping his tank top to shreds when facing both Yusuke and Kuwabara during Yukina's rescue. ![]() When Toguro releases his demon energy into his muscles, his body becomes greater in size and strength, exponentially gaining the physical strength necessary to lift objects that weigh a number of tons. His sharp black sunglasses were later destroyed when he was hit for the first time by Yusuke's Spirit Gun during the Dark Tournament finals and his eyes appeared to be black instead of hazel. He is often seen wearing sharp black sunglasses, an olive green trench coat with a green tank top underneath, dark gray pants with a black belt on his waist and black shoes that help to conceal his Olympic-style muscular physique. Toguro sports a stereotypical military crew cut hairstyle, and has a long, pointed chin. ![]() His appearance is remarkably similar to that of a Southern-European man - unlike his older brother's Northern-European appearance - bearing a noticeable, light brownish skin color. Toguro is a very tall man, standing easily over six feet, being so large that his brother can sit on his shoulders and look vastly smaller in comparison.
