Fursona[edit]

Toku is a self proclaimed hybrid species called a Torakami Fox.

Appearance[edit]

Toku has a canine anthropomorphic body resembling that of a fox or wolf. He has brown eyes and black nose. His fur is dark red and tan. He also has black accents on his ears, arms, legs and muzzle. Across his upper arms, thighs and back are black tiger stripes. In more recent updates, he has dark grey toes and a streak of red dye in his hair.

Species make-up and origin[edit]

The general species make up is primarily canine and feline. (Fox-50%, Wolf-25%, Tiger-12.5%, Dragon-12.5%) The term "Torakami" is a play-on word for the Japanese words for "tiger"(tora(虎) and "wolf"(Ookami(狼), making it a tiger-wolf-fox hybrid. The dragon part was inspired by the Chinese zodiac and the Huanglong dragon legends who bore great knowledge and power. It is also believed Toku was made up of so many species in order to have some degree of physical compatibility with other creatures (derived from hybridization fiction).

Fictional background and occupation[edit]

Toku was a prodigy child in his youth, however this also made him the target for abuse. One day, his envious peers attacked him, traveling deep within a secluded forest, where he was beaten and abandoned for three days and nights. It wasn't until a fox named Kyushi Tanaka found him and took him back to his isolated community of foxes. There Kyushi cared for Toku, nursing him back to health. To help with the traumatization of the episode, Kyushi insisted he stay with him and the two shared a close and intimate friendship. After several years past, he'd leave his friend to join the military, where he was an exemplary candidate for officer training. He served for five years as a intelligence officer, honorably discharged with the rank of lieutenant colonel. After his service, he returned to his new home and reunited with his best friend, and took up being a teacher and art as a hobby. His love interest was a husky/wolf named Saiyo, who he met during his deployment to Alaska.
