Todoroki Family is the family ship between Enji Todoroki, Rei Todoroki, Touya Todoroki, Fuyumi Todoroki, Natsuo Todoroki and Shoto Todoroki from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
The Todoroki family is not a typical loving family, but a forced, abusive, unloving one from the start, Enji marries Rei so he could get a "custom" childrem, and Rei agrees, despite knowing full well that the marriage is a quirk-marriage, she was willing to do that for her family. The biggest conflict of the family comes from Enji's treatment of Shoto and Touya. Ever since a young age, Enji has put them through a inhuman training routine with the intent of raising someone that could eventually surpass All Might. The only difference is Touya willingfully follow his father's training meanwhile Shoto is unwillingly forced to. The Todoroki's family backstory is first shown in Season 2, when Shoto talks to Izuku about his family, it gets more in The Hellish Of The Todoroki Family and the most are after Touya's Hell Dance. Enji used his power as the number two hero to force a marriage with Rei, the only reason he married Rei is that because he want to create 'custom' children with a powerful quirk, which Dr. Garaki said it's taboo in the quirk-based society, but Enji keeps on doing it.

First of all, he have Touya as his first child, Touya... isn't particularly the child Enji dreamed to have, but he was good enough for him since he have more powerful fire than his flames. Enji placed his ambitions on Touya's shoulders due to the more powerful fire quirk he inherited, the time Touya notices that he was hurt by the fire, Enji thought it was him who could be the one to reach Enji's eternal goal (Surpassing All Might), his frustration, his envy, the ugliness in his heart, Touya could have been the one to smash it all to dust. However, Enji notices that Touya's body has keep on having scars in every training, burnt scars. This is because meanwhile Touya have a powerful fire quirk, Touya's body can only handle freezing temperature, making his skin weaker than normal people to fire, if only Touya have an access to Rei's quirk (Which is ice), he can be strong and can handle the fire. Meanwhile Enji still yearned for a child that have combined quirk of ice and fire, Rei wanted another child, with the reason that she thinks they can supports each other that way, and after that, Fuyumi was born, she have an ice quirk, not like what Enji was hoping for but he was nevertheless happy with her existence. But due to Touya's fragile skin, the training that Enji gave to Touya stopped. Touya throws tantrums and being mad at Enji for suddenly changing his mind, while Enji just replies that it's for Touya's own good. Touya still stare at Enji with a stubborn angry look while Enji started to sweating. Touya talks to Fuyumi, telling her that well, yeah he got hurt, but its just a little burn scars, he think that he knows his body more than anyone! Fuyumi, while keeping on munching her snacks, answered that she don't like it when her brother get hurt either. Touya glares at her and gets off from the couch, walks away from the room while shouting at her about her not knowing anything because she is a girl. Fuyumi shouted back and tells him that she is just worried, that's all! Touya replies with tears on his eyes and a vengeful glare that he already got in his head that he need to surpass 'the other guy' (All Might) and it's Enji's fault, Enji is the one who lit that fire inside him. At night, Enji told Rei something, which made Rei reacts in disagreement, telling him that it's too much and it would be too cruel, especially when Touya knows that Enji is hoping to achieve through the children. So it's safe to assume that Enji told Rei about stopping his training for Touya. Enji, with frustrated look replies that no matter what he say, Touya always came back with fresh burns everyday. Enji knows that Touya inherited 'that pigheaded stubbornness' from him, so that's the only way to make Touya gave up, since he will not be the one to surpass All Might, making Rei's worried face turned into a terrified look. After that, Natsuo was born, Enji tries to have a new replacement for Touya and Touya knows it so well, so he isn't very happy meanwhile Fuyumi is happy. All Might keeps on being on the top, Enji became more frustrated, Rei started to lose her sanity and the Todoroki Family starts to crumble apart, until Shoto was born. Dejected, Touya tearfully trains in a forest with his fire, telling his father to look at him because of how powerful his flames already are even though his father isn't present. Enji tells Touya to stop because he is covered in burns and tells him to look beyond the world of being a hero and do things like play with his siblings or make friends at school, saying he can understand that and one day it will all be a distant memory. Touya, however, with tears flowing from his eyes, tells Enji that everyone at school wants to be heroes themselves, and he can't understand what it is like to give up because he has him as a father. He lit the fire in him to surpass All Might and it is not going out, just as he calls him by his hero name "Endeavor" rather than with "father". He tells him to look at him before he charges with his flames activated at his mother carrying an infant Shoto, Fuyumi pushes Natsuo away with her to avoid the dangerous action their older brother do.

After that accident, Enji told Rei that he will keep Shoto away from his siblings (Touya, Fuyumi and Natsuo). He told her that he is to busy with work to look after him 24/7. Which is why, he have hired someone to help, and he told Rei to not take her eyes off of Touya. Rei, with sleeping Shoto next to her, replies that Touya only wanted Enji to look at him (Acknowledge him, etc), for Enji to notice him. With darkness in his face, Enji replies that all he can show anyone is world of heroes. Rei glares at Enji, "Heroes?" She repeated. "Aren't you just running away?" she continues, making Enji sweats and widens his eyes. Timeskip to 5 years later, Fuyumi and Natsuo walked up to Touya whose sitting in front of a computer, wanting to play with him. Touya agrees and then they played ball together. Meanwhile they played balls together while being watched by their maternal grandma, Shoto, from 2nd floor watched them in jealousy, wanting to play with his older siblings
