Personality
Due to his parents rarely being home and being a target of getting bullied, Touma seemed to have a very cold and aloof personality. Avoiding making friends, Touma seemed very distant to many people. He was shown to be quite apathetic. However, deep down inside, Touma can be described as a very kind person.
His personality seems to drastically change to a more fanboy-like way if the card game, "Lighting Speed Age" is involved. He is shown to act slightly more awkwardly when put in an awkward position, When Sendou Rei was in the shower and asked Touma to get her a couple things, Touma had a very odd reaction, while trying to keep his cool. He seems to have a soft spot for when it comes to his lonely childhood.

He met Natsume when they were in elementary school when she had scratched her knee and he had helped her.

Soon, after Natsume cured the darkness in his heart, after that he and Natsume have been shown to have a strong friendship.
Mafuyu Tsukinami
Mafuyu is Touma's mother. As a child, Touma felt neglected by his parents, however it was soon revealed that they did truly love him.
Akinori Arihoshi
