The manga portrays Touga with a more obvious and definite personal love for Utena Tenjou. Touga also confesses to Utena that he loves her. However, toward the end of the series, Touga's façade of chivalry is replaced with an apparently truer concern for Utena, to the extent that he very subtly attempts to substitute his head for hers on Akio's chopping block. He is the childhood friend of Kyouichi Saionji, although their relationship took a turn for the worse at a point in their childhood that is the centerpiece of their respective personal journeys. He also shares his playboy attitude and has many female lovers throughout the series. Despite his talent and intelligence, Touga eventually realizes that he's nowhere near as influential as Akio or as strong as Utena, and this causes him to change his ways as he tries to discover a new method to gain power.Īlthough he says that he wishes to be noble, he has little empathy towards anyone, and his powers of manipulation are second only to Akio. His desire to be powerful drives him to commit cruel, unscrupulous actions and he is the only regular Council Member who deliberately involves himself in Akio Ohtori's plans, and the only person besides Akio himself (in the anime's first arc, before Akio appears) who causes Utena Tenjou to doubt herself. Touga is Ohtori Academy's arrogant and handsome Student Council President who is known to be 'the biggest playboy on campus' as he is seen hanging out with every girl outside of school or in the garden house and there are also rumors saying that he has broken many girls' hearts as mentioned by Wakaba Shinohara ( Episode 3).
