Description
Touko, also called Hilda or White, serves as the female protagonist in *Pokémon Black* and *White*. Hailing from Nuvema Town in Unova, she sets out on a journey after obtaining a starter Pokémon and Pokédex from Professor Juniper, accompanied by childhood companions Cheren and Bianca. Her quest leads her to clash with Team Plasma and face N, a figure determined to sever the bond between humans and Pokémon, ultimately earning her the title of hero through her connection to the legendary Reshiram or Zekrom, depending on the game.
In *Pokémon Black 2* and *White 2*, she is notably absent, having ventured to distant regions in pursuit of N. Her mother briefly mistakes the new protagonist for her during this time. Animated adaptations feature her in a pivotal role opposing Ghetsis at N’s Castle, where she harnesses the Light Stone to counter N’s ambitions. A flashback reveals her nurturing a Tepig, her chosen starter, during the earlier stages of her adventure.
Her design showcases long dark brown hair styled in a ponytail, blue eyes, and a signature outfit: a white tank top layered under a black waistcoat, denim shorts adorned with white tear accents, black wristbands, ankle boots, and a pink messenger bag. In spin-offs like *Pokémon Masters EX*, she teams with Tepig and its evolutions, Pignite and Emboar, as well as sync pairs such as Diancie and Shiny Grapploct.
Known regionally as Shiro or Whitlea in pre-release materials, her Japanese name, Touko, remains unchanged. Though her personality is not explicitly defined, her decisive actions against Team Plasma and N underscore her determination and resolve to oppose oppressive forces.
