Tōru Kishiri, a Third Generation pyrokinetic serving in Special Fire Force Company 5, sports short, disheveled blonde hair and habitually chews bubblegum, which frequently pops against his face with comedic effect. His combat prowess centers on generating explosions by inflating gum balloons with flammable gas, a method he pairs with strategic use of terrain to evade threats like Takehisa Hinawa’s ricocheting bullets. Brash and irreverent, Tōru flaunts his Third Generation heritage with sarcastic jabs and open mockery toward non-pyrokinetics such as Akitaru Ōbi, dismissing those without flame abilities as inferior. Despite his abrasive demeanor, he maintains a relaxed posture, seldom seen without gum clenched between his teeth. His primary motive for joining the Fire Force stems from a craving for fame and female admiration. During Company 8’s probe into Company 5’s operations, Tōru instigates clashes with Shinra Kusakabe and Arthur Boyle after taunting Akitaru, showcasing both his confrontational streak and tactical cunning—evident in his calculated use of cover mid-battle. He later aligns with Company 8 and allied brigades during the assault on the White-Clad, coordinating explosive assaults with Takeru Noto’s missiles to disrupt cultists and clear a path for Shinra’s pursuit of Inca. Amid the Infernal Bug crisis, he partners with Karim Flam and Juggernaut to neutralize swarms, underscoring a pragmatic willingness to collaborate against existential threats. While his earlier hostility softens into grudging teamwork, his role remains anchored in combat engagements and inter-company rivalry. No expanded backstory or character evolution beyond tactical battlefield contributions is documented, preserving his status as a secondary figure defined by explosive prowess and abrasive charm.
