Background Info
Growing Up
It was always unclear to Toriko who his parents had been or what kind of life they lived. He never knew the comfort afforded many children of his time. As far as he was concerned, Toriko grew up alone and would one day die alone. Though he belonged to a village he never really had any friends or ones whom he called family. He had grown up knowing loneliness and often times would cry a lot. But what an ideal story no? The tale of a boy who knew sadness well and voweed he would one day make a friend and change his fate.
It wasn't easy growing up. For a particular reason no one seemed to care for Toriko except for one person, the Mizukage. He would come over to his place and left a envelope with an allowance for food and bills. He would always try to get him to get out of the house and then in time, into the academy. Toriko tried so hard for attention and wanting to be recognized because, how else would someone validate his existence. All he really wanted was to belong and feel like he mattered. So he tried his best, through his studies and training. In time his hard work became noticed by the other students and in time he came to make very good friends. But none was more prominent than his rival...Zebra. He was always so calm and collected. He was perfection at its best and always talked down to Toriko. Because of this, Toriko worked even harder to one day beat him. He trained more intensively and studied even harder. In a short time, he grew quite quickly and powerful. But no matter what he did, Zebracouldn't care less though it was apparent he felt challenged enough to train just as hard as Toriko. They soon became rivals but moreso, Toriko had found someone who acknowledged him. Though Zebra didn't talk about it, Toriko knew thatZebra's clan had been killed and all that was left was himself and a now missing brother. The two had one thing in common that they both agreed without even speaking of it, the sadness of being alone.
After several years of training with Zebra, Toriko grew....and grew...and grew some more. He had trained hard and worked really hard that he didn't notice the changes in his body. He was now more faster, stronger, and taller than when he was a kid. However, it had been several years that Zebra had left to become stronger. It was a bittersweet battle between the two. Toriko fought with all his might to get him to stay and realize that he didn't have to be so alone anymore. Zebra didn't care. He barely escaped with his life leaving Toriko just the same. Since then Toriko trained ever harder and became more focused and determined to bring Zebra back to Kiri.
Destiny and Fate
Toriko had been alone once more though now he had been surrounded by many wonderful friends who cared for Toriko in their own way. Feeling surrounded by such warmth and kindness, Toriko soon became mild mannered and gave up wanting to be acknowleged. He instead changed his goal that he would become the next Mizukage and change it to a vibrant city that it once was and make it a place that Zebra could come back to without any problems. Many became surprised by his tenacity and boldness. But in battle....that is another story. In battle, Toriko became quite ruthless. He could take on many men at a time that he gained the moniker, Wolf of the Bloody Mist. Though he was the type to jump head first in battle he always had a simple, yet naive goal of getting home in time for meal time. In fact the man was a beast at mealtime. He could eat quite a lot and to some seemed like he had a never ending pit in his gut. But it was simply because he trained and burned a lot of energy that he was able to eat as much.
One day, while on a stroll in Kiri, Toriko bumped into a man who seemed to recognize him. The man mentioned he looked a lot like a man who once belonged to the Bartholomew clan. Intrigued, Toriko followed the man into his home and was treated to a meal. It was a grand meal for the both and after all was eaten, the man went and came back with a photo album. It contained pictures of a man who really did look like Toriko. The man talked with him for a while and revealed he was from the Bartholomew clan and if he wanted to get stronger to recover his friend, he could join him. Toriko agreed and trained hard to make him proud. Now knowing of his parents, their untimely death to protect him, and their love for him made Toriko feel less lonely. In fact since then he has become quite sympathetic to the weak and always helping where he can. It is said not many lived long enough who went against him in battle after being caught cheating the weak or about to hurt them. Truly Toriko is a man who can do what he wants to and anything he sets his mind to.
Departure from the hidden mist
It was something that Toriko felt the past couple of months. Something about the village he called his him wasn't the same. He saw his friends leave like it was a norm in the village. Something was infecting the village, Toriko didn't want to believe that his home was falling apart. No. He could not believe this. But it was right in front of him, how could he not accept it. Toriko knew that to save his home he had to let it crumble to ashes for it to rise up again stronger than ever, but he couldn't be there when it fell. He gathered his items and took off into the ninja world.
