Todoh is the creator
and main teacher of Todoh style karate, which derives its style from Aikido
and Kendo. Todoh had a long standing rivalry with disciples of the Kyokugenryu
school of karate and considers them a threat to his style of teaching in
terms of profits as well as personal animosity dating back to a rivalry
with Takuma Sakazaki when both
men were very young.
On his quest to find
his younger sister Yuri, who had been abducted by Mr.
Big under Geese Howard's orders,
Ryo
Sakazaki blatantly attacked Todoh at his school and fought him to interrogate
him about the whereabouts of his sister. After Ryo easily defeated Todoh,
he was humiliated and saw his schools finances as well as his attendance
at his schools suffer. After the loss, Todoh went into hiding and hasn't
been seen since. Because of his disappearance, his daughter Kasumi
went on a personal quest to not only try to look for her father, but to
gain revenge on Ryo and all Kyokugenryu disciples to try to reclaim her
family's honor.
