Toji with his sister, Sakura.
In Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone not much is known about Tōji's past. He lives in Tokyo-3 with his grandfather, father and little sister. His father works at NERV forcing Tōji to take care of his grandfather and sister almost alone. He attends Tokyo-3 middle school and is friends with Kensuke Aida. During the fight between Evangelion Unit-01 and the Fourth Angel, Tōji's little sister is injured by the collateral damage. Toji later, punches Shinji for piloting the Evangelion, causing Sakura Suzuhara to get hurt in the process, and when Shinji retorts, he comes back and punches Shinji again. When the Fifth Angel attacks, he and Kensuke leaves the shelter to see the Evangelion fights and gets almost killed when Unit-01 is thrown at the mountain where they were. Toji and Kensuke are ordered to get inside the Entry Plug and swim inside holding on the seat as Shinji fights the angel. Later, he understands the terror of piloting the Evangelion and regrets his actions and apologizes to Shinji. He and Kensuke leave a voice mail for Shinji telling him to be safe and good luck. This helps give Shinji confidence before the mission against the Sixth Angel.
Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance[]
In the second film, Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance Toji has become a friend to Shinji and visits the Ocean restoration project with Kensuke, Shinji, Rei, Asuka and Pen², where they see the ocean life before the Second Impact and eat food prepared by Shinji. Toji also appears visiting his little sister in the hospital after she is discharged. His last scene in the movie is when the Tenth Angel attacks and he is seen protecting Hikari, with Kensuke and Pen² as the attack happens.
Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo[]
Toji doesn't appear in Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, although Shinji does find a shirt that has Toji's nametag.
Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon A Time[]
Toji returns in Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon A Time. He works as an unlicensed doctor in the Village 3, and is married with Hikari Horaki, now Hikari Suzuhara, with whom he has a daughter, Tsubame Suzuhara. He does not show any resentment to Shinji, and is very helpful and supportive of him, guiding him in his recovery, same as Kensuke, who also works for the people of the village. He is however puzzled at Rei, not initially realizing she is not the same Rei they knew, calling her "lookalike". When the Wunder arrives to pickup Asuka and drop mantiments, he insists that Shinji stay there and live with them. He is last seen hugging Hikari and Tsubame as the waves clash against the sealing pillars.
