Toma

Prince Toma is a character from Ranma ½. He is the ruler of Togenkyo Island. Because the island is situated on top of a spring which makes it impossible for the island's inhabitants to give birth to females, the only way for his people to find brides is to kidnap them from neighboring islands. He captures Ranma, Akane, Ukyo, Shampoo, Nabiki and Kasumi, as well as many other women. Back at Togenkyo they compete to be his bride in strange contests which are designed to amuse him. He ends up choosing Akane, despite Ranma's best efforts, because she reprimands him about his treatment of the girls.

Toma is a highly skilled swordsman and a master at creating illusions, but also proves to be near to Ranma in speed and basic combat techniques. He has a number of human-animal hybrids that act as his lieutenants.

Fighting Style
Toma's fighting style revolves around the use of illusions created by his sword, though he also uses the sword itself to attack at times. The illusions cast range from bright flashes of light, turning nearly invisible, creating high winds, teleportation, and creating a giant peach.

Mirror Aura
Toma holds his blade, still sheathed, in front of him. Toma is translucent for the duration of this technique, during which time any attack directed at him will be thrown back at the person who performed it.

Chaotic Mirage Attack
Toma's ultimate technique. The Chaotic Mirage Attack casts an illusion that forces its victims to believe they have been engulfed in flames. While the attack itself does no harm, the illusion is strong enough to make ensnared opponents feel pain. This side effect can be countered through strong focus.

Trivia

 * Although exclusive to the anime, a similar set of villains who are also animal hybrids (Herb, Mint, and Lime), appear in the manga.


 * The whole movie story seems to be based on the legend of Momotarō, as peaches (Momotarō's theme) are seen around Toma. Also, his three animal hybrids, Sarutoru, Torristan, and Wonton, are the animals that accompanied Momotarō (a monkey, bird, and dog).
