Toga is a powerful Inu Daiyōkai, ("Dog-Demon") who is known quite well and feared throughout feudal Japan as being the very strongest of his kind. Toga's personality is like that of his sons'. Like his first son, the inu daiyōkai Sesshomaru, Toga displays a calm and focused demeanor, speaking with a gentle tone. At times he is more similar to second son, the inu hanyō Inuyasha, tending to make outbursts while having little composure in battle. Toga also is known to have compassion for humans.
