[edit] Character outline
Kyōshirō Tōdōh is a chequered former general in the Japanese army. He is the only person to have won a battle against the Empire of Britannia during the war, which he notably accomplished without the use of Knightmare Frames. This earned him the nickname Tōdōh of Miracles (奇跡 の 藤堂 Kiseki no Tōdō?), and the event itself would later be known as the miracle of Itsukushima. He is followed by the Four Holy Swords (四聖剣 Shisei-ken?), an elite unit consisting of four of his most devoted followers. He was Suzaku Kururugi's former instructor when Suzaku was a child and is one of the few Japanese people who understands Suzaku's ideals. Tōdōh is often seen bearing a katana at his side.
[edit] Character history
[edit] First season
In the first season, Tōdōh is initially a member of the Japanese Liberation Front. As the Britannian Army closes in on them, the organization is eventually scattered to the winds and Tōdōh himself captured. His subordinates turn to the Order of the Black Knights for help, and Zero assists in his rescue to win Tōdōh to his side. The Four Holy Swords become permanent member of the Black Knights, which each member leading a squad. Tōdōh is made the head of military operations. When Zero abandons the Black Knights after inciting all-out rebellion, leaving Tōdōh to command his forces, the Britannians are able to gain the upper hand and put the rebellion down.
[edit] Second season
After the failed rebellion, Tōdōh was arrested by Britannian forces and jailed. Gilbert G.P. Guilford, in an attempt to draw out Zero, threatens to publicly execute Tōdōh along with 255 other members of the Black Knights. Though the threat works, Zero is able to rescue all the prisoners. Despite Zero's former abandonment, Tōdōh does not show signs of discontent and recognizes Zero as the only man who can free Japan. When Zero announces his plans to join Nunnally Vi Britannia's renewed Special Administrative Zone of Japan, Tōdōh seems ready to abandon the Black Knights, but he goes along once Zero's plan of getting the entire order exiled to foreign soil is revealed.
