Tōru Kishiri, a Third Generation pyrokinetic of Special Fire Force Company 5, wields explosive power paired with a bold, irreverent persona. His short, tousled blonde hair and sharp orange eyes mirror his fiery nature, often accentuated by bubblegum snapped between his teeth—a habit that leads to comical mishaps when bubbles burst across his face. Clad in Company 5’s standard gear marked by blue lines and a cross insignia, brigade patches declare his allegiance.
Brash and unrestrained, Tōru charges into conflicts with careless words, flaunting pride in his pyrokinetic prowess while deriding non-pyrokinetics like Akitaru Ōbi. His ambitions center on chasing fame, especially among admirers, yet beneath his bravado lies unwavering loyalty to Company 5’s leader, Princess Hibana—a devotion tinged with jealousy when rivals like Shinra Kusakabe draw her attention.
In combat, Tōru employs the Backdraft Bubblish Gum technique, inflating gum with flammable gas to craft precision explosions. This tactic lets him strike from hidden angles, manipulating backdraft surges for strategic blows. His quick thinking shines when dodging Takehisa Hinawa’s bullets, exploiting terrain to outmaneuver threats.
Key clashes define his path: taunting Company 8 during Setsuo Miyamoto’s capture, hurling insults at Akitaru, and sparking fights with Shinra and Arthur Boyle. Defeat comes via Hinawa’s ricochet tactics during Company 8’s infiltration, yet Tōru later pivots to collaboration. He distracts Karim Flam during probes, joins allied strikes against the White-Clad, and teams with Takeru Noto to rescue Shinra—mixing explosive gum with missile barrages. Amid the Infernal Bug crisis, he coordinates with Karim and Juggernaut to neutralize threats, proving his worth in unified operations. While his journey transitions from fiery rivalries to uneasy alliances, Tōru’s hunger for acclaim and steadfast loyalty to Hibana endure, anchoring his volatile spirit.
