Movie
Description
Toru Kazama is a five-year-old boy in Futaba Kindergarten's Sunflower class, sharing it with Shinnosuke Nohara. He maintains a well-groomed appearance and exhibits an academically focused demeanor, regularly attending juku (cram school) and English language classes. This dedication sometimes manifests as a know-it-all attitude, which others may perceive as snobbish. He prioritizes educational pursuits over play, excelling in English, calligraphy, mathematics, and sports like football and baseball.
His appearance features neatly styled black hair (rendered dark blue in the anime), including a distinctive tuft near his left eyebrow. He typically wears orange shorts, a sky-blue long-sleeved shirt or t-shirt with a white collar, black shoes, and white socks.
Despite his studious exterior, Toru secretly enjoys anime and manga, especially magical girl series such as *Magical Girl Moe-P*, and tries to hide this interest from friends. He develops crushes on female characters like Ai, Midori, Hanako, and Torma. After proposing marriage to Ai and being slapped, he attempted to conceal the incident. He shares a strong attachment to his mother, while his father lives abroad.
Toru frequently attempts to associate with upper-class children to join the "elite," but these efforts are often ruined when Shinnosuke's disruptive behavior causes the elite group to lose interest in him. Though Toru often denies Shinnosuke is his best friend and frequently bickers or becomes exasperated by Shinnosuke's teasing, their friendship is profoundly close. This bond is evident during Toru's moments of loneliness or frustration when Shinnosuke remains his steadfast companion, and notably when Toru chased a departing train in tears, shouting Shinnosuke’s name after the Nohara family nearly moved away. Their interactions include instances of physical affection like friendly kisses.
He also shares a close friendship with Masao Sato, often comforting him when he cries and offering assistance. Interactions with Himawari Nohara (Shinnosuke's younger sister) suggest a potential future romantic connection; they are frequently teased together, hold hands while blushing, and several episodes focus on their relationship, hinting they may eventually marry.
Toru is a member of the Kasukabe Defense Organization. He is uniquely referred to by his surname (Kazama-kun) among his peers, while his family uses his given name (Toru-chan).
