Personality
Edit
Tokiomi is an arrogant and manipulative man who strives, as all powerful magi do, to reach Akasha, or the root of all knowledge. Although he cares for his daughters and his wife, he appears to be oblivious to the problems and pain they face due to his decisions.
Much to Tokiomi's displeasure, the arrogant and materialistic Gilgamesh has difficulty acting covertly. In turn, Gilgamesh dislikes his Master, who he considers boring, and is intrigued by Kotomine's participation in the war.
HistoryEdit
Tokiomi is an arrogant and manipulative man who strives, as all powerful magi do, to reach Akasha, or the root of all knowledge. He and Risei Kotomine are close acquaintances; through Risei, Tokiomi meets the young Kirei Kotomine, Risei's son, whose command spells have appeared three years prior to the start of the Fourth Holy Grail War. The two men arrange for Kirei to be transferred from the Church into the Magi's Association as Tokiomi's pupil while leaving Kirei uninformed as to the true nature of the marks on his hand. Both Tokiomi and Risei intend to use Kirei to insure Tokiomi will obtain the Grail and that Kirei's role is to provide Tokiomi with additional command spells and another Servant. Like Risei, Tokiomi holds Kirei in high regard in terms of ability and character but has little understanding of how empty the young man feels.
He is married to Aoi Tohsaka, the childhood friend of Kariya Matou. As a father, Tokiomi seems to care little for his daughters; he leaves his estate in the hands of Rin, who he intends to be his successor, and allows Zouken Matou to adopt Sakura because Tokiomi does not wish to train a second child as a magus, given that there is a traditional belief that training a second child would introduce competition. His sudden decision to give Sakura away comes as a shock to Aoi, though she does not openly oppose his decision. When Kariya confronts Tokiomi regarding Sakura's adoption, despite being aware of the nature of the Matou family's magecraft and that Rin and Sakura may become enemies as the inheritors of the Tohsaka and Matou families respectively, Tokiomi only declares that he can think of nothing greater than for one daughter to be renown as a legendary victor and her sister to be known as her formidable opponent. Towards the end of the war, during Tokiomi's visit to Rin, his true intention behind adopting away Sakura becomes apparent. Aware that both his daughters possessed exceeding rare sorcery traits: Rin possessed all five elements while Sakura, though lacking all five, possessed only Imaginary Numbers, Tokiomi knew that the daughter he did not train as the Tohsaka successor would be manipu

Considering him to be a loyal apprentice, Tokiomi gives Kirei an Azoth knife as a parting gift, only for him to be slain by it. This is the same knife that is passed onto his daughter, Rin, and is wielded by Shiro to ironically kill Kirei in the Fate Scenario.
AbilitesEdit
Tokiomi, as the head of the Tohsaka family, has mastered the principles behind their jewel based magecraft in conjunction with his own fire attribute to become an effective battle mage. Using a staff topped with

He is also shown to be capable of manipulating air currents to land from a great height and despite the elemental difference, performed an ice based magecraft whilst teaching his daughter, Rin, how to use jewel magic.
Tokiomi does not seem to believe himself a man of particular talent, but at the same time has the pride of a magus and follows an unerring path of elegance in all things. To this end he rarely shows anything but a calm demeanour, showing no hint of worry when faced in battle by another magus.
