Toshi hates Steve Smith, but apparently not to the point that he has yet inflicted physical harm upon Steve (with the exception of Snot's help for stealing from them), or refuses to be in Steve's friend group.

Little information is known about his parents but some references are made. His mother can speak English, and he also has an attractive sister named Akiko, who can also speak English. In the episode "Weiner of our discontent" Steve insulted Toshi taking his chop sticks and making a walrus face with them. Toshi got fed up Steve for the last time, and had his sister Akiko translate for him.
