5. Was the one who started ONE OK ROCK at like sixteen
or seventeen

both either take turns beating him up, Toru does it alone,

poured on him (WTF WHY WOULD THEY BULLY HIM?)
12. Much like Taka, he also acted like an adult in
kindergarten

admired Avril Lavigne so much
31. During Warped Tour, Toru dyed his hair brown and he
grew a mustache and then when he came back to Japan

a break from dyeing it blonde so much it’s basic hair dye
knowledge stuff but he did look good during Warped Tour
and I would not mind if he went back to looking like that)
