Toradora Wiki is a FANDOM Anime Community.
Taiga Aisaka (ι’ε 倧河, Aisaka Taiga ) is the main female protagonist of the Toradora! series. Due to her often snapping at others in brutal ways and her short stature, she is given the nickname "Palmtop Tiger."
Even though Taiga is a teenager, her very short height makes her look like a younger child. Ami frequently teases her about this. [5] Taiga has long, curly light brown hair (inherited from her mother ) that falls past her waist in waves, with large, dark amber eyes which are inherited from her father . She is "flat-chested" and is very ashamed about it, but often she makes up for this fact by her typically constant glare or menacing words. She was also describe as insanely beautiful, by others.
Taiga is usually seen wearing the school uniform, or long dresses [6] , when outside. She wears long coats on top of dresses and is seen wearing a pair of stockings under long coats. She is a very well-dressed girl, coming from a rich family, and even her pajamas are elegant.
Taiga's personality at the start of the series earns her the nickname "Palmtop Tiger". She easily gets upset over small things, especially her underdeveloped stature for a girl of her age, and reacts aggressively to people, except her only friend at the time, Minori Kushieda , and her crush, Yusaku Kitamura . Taiga is also very klutzy, a trait that others notice and she herself admits. In fact, it is her klutziness that leads her to attack Ryuuji Takasu twice, the second time in his own home which is next door to Taiga's. Initially, Yusaku takes advantage of Taiga's crush on him, to calm her down whenever she starts acting aggressively.
Due to her background, Taiga first appears unable to handle domestic chores, and initially relies on Ryuuji to do them for her. She also starts going to Ryuuji's apartment herself to have meals cooked by Ryuuji for her, but after her behavior softens, and in an attempt to get Ryuuji closer to Minori, Taiga stops going and begins to clean up after herself. She remains unable to cook anything besides basic rice balls, thus relying on takeout food in Ryuuji's absence.
When in competition with fellow classmates, especially Ami Kawashima , Taiga will often resort to underhanded tactics to win. In spite of her clumsiness, she is remarkably strong and athletic for her size. Taiga is also a fan of mixed martial arts, and her suggestion of a valetudo brawl to win over Ryuuji was overlooked in favor of Ami's suggestion of a swimming race. Nevertheless, Taiga is able to fight in the professional wrestling show that her class stages during the cultural festival. Although Taiga is able to fight with her own hands, she sometimes carries a wooden sword with her. The second time she uses it in the anime, to fight Sumire Kano , she is handed a two-week suspension from school, after which her behavior changes for the better. By the end of the series, Taiga acknowledges her own struggles and is committed to her own relationship with Ryuuji.
Despite coming from a well-to-do family, her life with her family is very difficult because of various problems. Following her parent's divorce [7] , she lived with her father for a time, but could not get along with his new wife. Eventually, she told her father that she wanted to move out, and her father's ready acceptance of this led Taiga to realize that he had chosen his new wife over Taiga and didn't want her there either. This led to her getting her own apartment, though her father still gives living expenses monthly.
After Taiga accidentally gives Ryuuji Takasu an envelope that contained a love letter that was meant to be for Yusaku Kitamura , she breaks into his home in an attempt to reclaim the letter and to wipe out Ryuuji's memory of ever reading the letter. However, when Ryuuji tells her that the envelope was empty, she stops and collapses from exhaustion and hunger.
After feeding Taiga, Ryuuji shows Taiga his collection of love letters, music, and other ideas of how his first date is going to be like but since he can't manage to let his feelings out he can only simulate what he's going to do. Upon reading one of his love letters in one of his notebooks, Taiga realizes that Ryuuji has a crush on Minori Kushieda (Taiga's best friend). After noticing how late it was, Ryuuji made a promise to Taiga that he would help her win Yusaku's heart if she left right at that moment so they could both have enough sleep for school in the morning.
During basketball shooting practice, Taiga and Ryuuji Takasu plan to knock out Yusaku Kitamura 's partner with a basketball so that Taiga can be Yusaku's partner. However, Taiga ends up being knocked out instead. She tries to make cookies, planning to give them to Yusaku; unfortunately, she falls off the stairs, throwing them out of the window in the process. Ryuuji breaks her fall, and Taiga calls herself clumsy and feels depressed. Ryuuji eats her cookies and says they are great (despite tasting horrible) and encourages her to try making cookies again. Since Ryuuji and Taiga are often together, a misunderstanding begins among their classmates that Ryuuji and Taiga are going out. This causes Taiga to rage and wreak havoc in the classroom. Taiga sets the record straight the next day, and confesses her love to Yusaku. However, he wants only to continue being friends.
After accidentally spilling Ryuuji Takasu 's drink on herself, Ryuuji offers to clean her dress if they go to the restaurant where Minori Kushieda works. However, when they get there they find out that today was Minori's day off. As they are looking at fashion magazines, Taiga notices that a girl coming into the restaurant is pictured in the magazine, a model named Ami Kawashima . To their surprise, Yusaku Kitamura is also there with her and tells them that they are childhood friends and she has come to visit for a while. Ami seems innocent, kind, polite, and a self-proclaimed airhead; but Taiga learns she only acts that way to get what she wants. Ami begins taunting Taiga to the point that Taiga slaps her. Seeing Yusaku and Ryuuji coming she starts crying. Yusaku apologizes for what happens and takes Ami home. The next day they find out that Ami will be in their school, even in their very class.
With Taiga's habit of referring to different people disparagingly as dogs, Ami soon earns the nickname "Stupid Chihuahua" ('baka-chi').
After Ryuuji Takasu tells Taiga that his relationship with Minori Kushieda has not progressed, Taiga declares the need to play Cupid for him, since she wants to be good for Santa. The next morning at school, Yusaku Kitamura announces that the student council will organize a Christmas Eve party to boost romantic feelings among students. Taiga and Ryuuji ask Minori to go to the party with them, but she vehemently declines. This causes Taiga and Ryuuji to worry about Minori.
As Christmas approaches, the whole class helps in preparing for the Christmas party, including setting up a large artificial Christmas tree. Taiga contributes a heavy glass star for the top, which she says is her most valuable Christmas ornament. Everyone is pleased with their efforts and awed by the sight of the tree lit up. However, a stray softball crashes through the gym window and knocks over the tree, smashing the star. The baseball club apologizes and Minori blames herself for losing control of the ball. She leaves, still declining Ryuuji's offer of going to the party as she feels she would not be welcome after the accident. Despite hearing that, Ryuuji promises her that he will wait for her.
On the night of the party, Taiga brings over a suit for Ryuuji to wear while he still attempts to convince Minori to come. The party begins with a special Christmas song performed by Ami and Taiga. Following the song, Taiga leaves the party to go home in order to wait for Santa Claus, stopping by Minori's house on the way to convince her to attend the party. Ryuuji goes to Taiga's apartment dressed up as a 'Bear Santa Claus', cheering her up so that she realizes she is not alone. Afterward, she tells Ryuuji to go back and wait for Minori and after some resistance-- for apparently he would rather spend the evening with Taiga-- he leaves. Taiga begins crying uncontrollably, thinking that with Ryuuji together with Minori, Ryuuji and herself can no longer be such close friends. Taiga rushes after Ryuuji, calling for him, but he is already gone. Minori, who was heading to the party, witnesses this.
The school is supposed to have a field trip in Okinawa, but the hotel where they were going to stay burned down. As a result, the trip is reorganized at a ski resort. Ryuuji Takasu blames himself for this because earlier he had wished everything would burn just to make his worries disappear. One night, Ryuuji, Yusaku Kitamura , KΕji Haruta and Hisamitsu Noto go to the girls' room to check on them but find the girls are not there. When they hear the door opening, they all dive into the closet to hide. After finding out that it was Taiga who came in, they snatch her into the closet before the other girls come in.
From the closet, all four boys and Taiga overhear an argument between Minori Kushieda and Ami Kawashima about Minori rejecting Ryuuji. The next day, Ami tries to apologize to Ryuuji about what happened last night (unaware that Ryuuji heard everything). Then, Minori and Taiga, in a sled, accidentally hit Ami; as Minori and Ami fight over the blame for it, Minori's hair clip goes flying. Taiga leaves to search for it and when the fight has been broken up the others realize she is missing. Ryuuji, Yusaku and Minori decide to find her themselves. A snowstorm has begun but near the place where the fight took place Minori discovers an opening in the fence. Ryuuji descends the hill to look for her, spying the hair clip sparkling in one of the trees. Not far below he discovers Taiga lying inert in the snow with a head wound. As he carries her back uphill, Taiga mumbles that she wants Ryuuji and Minori to be together but admits she cannot stop loving Ryuuji. Ryuuji realizes she believes Yusaku is carrying her; and once Taiga recovers he makes Yusaku promise to deny the truth and, to spare Taiga the embarrassment, to allow her to believe Yusaku had indeed been the one to save her.
Yasuko Takasu (Ryuuji's mother) collapses from exhaustion while working a second job at a bakery. To help Yasuko, Taiga agrees to take her shift at the bakery, with Ryuuji agreeing to work there as well. Taiga and Ryuuji were selling chocolates for the bakery for Valentine's Day. Taiga gets the idea to call Ami to the bakery and have her help sales by providing testimonials how much she loves the chocolates there. Ami argues with her about it but eventually takes the box of chocolates and advertises how much she and her model friends love the chocolates. Taiga and Ryuuji meet their quota and Taiga buys the rest of the chocolates.
As Valentine's Day approaches, Taiga decides to make everyone some chocolate as thanks for the things they have done for her. However, when Minori Kushieda notices that she believes Yusaku Kitamura rescued her from the ski trip instead of Ryuuji Takasu , she becomes angry. Minori confronts her, with Ami Kawashima and Yusaku blocking the exits, trying to get her to show her true feelings. After violently denying the likelihood that Minori is telling her the truth, Taiga admits she only wanted Minori to be happy, in which Minori tells her that happiness is something only she can decide for herself. Taiga runs off and Minori decides to go after her, asking Ryuuji if he will go after her too.
On her way out of the building, Taiga hears Minori shouting that she has always liked Ryuuji but she held back because she felt Taiga's friendship with him was based on a stronger emotional need. She also says that she has to obtain her own happiness as well. Later, at work, she finds Ryuuji is waiting for her and agrees to talk to him after the shift. However, after work, Yasuko Takasu (Ryuuji's mother) and Yuu Aisaka (Taiga's mother) confront their children and Ryuuji and Taiga, each seeing that their mothers are acting out of immature selfishness, decide to run away together. At a bridge, they stop to talk. After Taiga told Ryuuji that he has to live on, she accidentally pushes him into the river. Standing in the freezing water Ryuuji yells up to Taiga to admit his plan of running away and marrying her in two months. She also jumps into the river; but just as they agree to say 'I love you' to each other, Yusaku calls and asks them to meet at Ami's house. Minori, Ami and Yusaku do not agree with their plans but decide to support them. Minori and Yusaku lend them some cash and Ami lends them the key to her family's chalet.
Ryuuji and Taiga pack for a long trip; but when Ryuuji spies Yasuko's note he realizes she had run away, like a child, and he convinces Taiga that they should visit his grandparents. Taiga leaves a dramatic message on Yasuko's phone, tricking her into believing Ryuuji is in danger, and Yasuko shows up at her parents' door for the first time in ten years. Taiga is impressed to see Ryuuji's family so swiftly healed.
When she arrives back at her apartment and hears her mother's emotional voicemail messages, Taiga decides to break the promise to Ryuuji and to change her ways, preferring to mend the breach with her own mother rather than to go on fleeing and avoiding all her problems. She leaves Ryuuji a note on the table, sends him two text messages reminding him that he never did state 'I love you' to her while following it up with 'stupid', and disappears from school, but she sends everyone a mail with a picture of the night sky and a single star, representing Minori's belief that one's future belongs entirely to one's self. Minori feels that this is supposed to encourage them to do their best. Everyone gets together to send a group picture to her with the artificial star that she left for the Christmas Eve party.
A year later on Ryuuji Takasu 's graduation day, he spies Taiga in the windows of the homeroom classroom they shared and runs upstairs to discover her hiding in a cupboard, dressed in her new school's uniform. She claims she had wanted to surprise him. He admits she appears taller-- probably because he had not seen her in more than a year. She replies she has not grown even a single millimeter. Finally, he says the three words 'I love you' to her, without the slightest hesitation. But, true to character, she claims that he has terrible timing and should've picked a better place to say "such embarrassing things", giving him a headbutt that sends him flying to the floor.
Ryuuji is 18 by this time so one can assume he will endeavor to fulfill his promise to marry and support her.
This section appears in the anime during the last half of the credit sequence; it's easily missed if one tunes out at the start of the end title.
The story alludes to its title, Toradora! , by mainly focusing on Taiga's interactions with Ryuuji, t
