You've been a great source of inspiration so far, Azusawa. I wish you a happy birthday and look forward to seeing more from you.
—Touya's Line for Kohane's Birthday (2022)

Toukoha is the het ship between Touya Aoyagi and Kohane Azusawa from the Project SEKAI fandom.

Canon[]

Touya and Kohane are both members of the street music group Vivid BAD SQUAD. The two are good friends and meet up often, bonding over their shared interests and on very friendly terms. They are the introverts of their unit, although Kohane is shyer, while Touya is more stoic and composed, directly contrasting Akito and An, who are the fiery and determined duo of their group. They were competing against each other (though on friendly terms) at the start of their unit’s Main Story, Kohane in the Vivids with An, and Touya in the BAD DOGS with Akito. Both Kohane and Touya’s fervor for music was kindled due to their respective partners.

Main Story[]

Singing in Sync[]

In Chapter 7, Kohane enters the Street SEKAI in hopes of getting advice. She explains her situation to MEIKO and then mentions that Minori suggested she asks for pointers from those who are more experienced than her. MEIKO is flattered, but tells her to instead ask her groupmates on that. Touya enters the café, and Kohane is surprised to see him alone. He explains that he often enjoys getting a cup of coffee at Café Crase before Vivid BAD SQUAD's rehearsals. Kohane shares her worries to Touya, saying she doesn't want to fail again like she did during their STAY GOLDEN performance, before asking how he practiced to get to his skill level. Touya mentions he improved by performing in public, and how the true difference between novices and professionals is how many times they've performed in front of an audience. He explains in detail how good technique and innate talent can just mask the hours put into practicing, but that what will truly matter and help in the end is performing in front of others, and together with others as well. Kohane feels a bit insecure, before asserting herself that she wants to do it. Touya is happy seeing her determination and then mentions she should talk to An in order to clear things up. Kohane thanks him and apologizes once more, but Touya tells her he knows that Vivid BAD SQUAD matters to her a lot and how she wants all of them break their limits so he doesn't mind her questions.

STRAY BAD DOG[]

In Kohane's STRAY BAD DOG card's second side story, she arrives at Shibuya Park and only finds Touya there. She asks him about An and Akito's whereabouts, and Touya explains they won't be able to make it. Kohane worries that something happened between them, and Touya then trails off before the scene switches to Crase Cafe, where Akito and An are groaning about studying for their exams. Touya sighs about how he already warned the two about being mindful, and Kohane assures Touya that they're likely aware. Kohane adds that everyone makes mistakes, Akito and An get jittery, before KAITO asks An and Akito how many points above failing they were at. Akito and An responds with their answers, and Kohane is shocked that they have to take make-up classes when the points were close to ten, and An is angered as she agrees. Akito nods in agreement, and Touya denies Kohane's reasoning, saying An and Akito were below average and therefore need to take the test once more.

Touya then lays out the study plan, explaining he'll help Akito with English and Kohane will help An with Classics. Kohane agrees with Touya's plan and starts to help out An. She then points out that An missed many points in the vocab section, and Toya then points out the same thing in Akito's scores as well. Kohane lets An off easy while guiding her, and Touya notices this; he scolds Kohane for spoon-feeding An the answers, and he tells her that An and Akito will be put on a blacklist if the duo fails the make-up exam. Kohane shows shock, leading to An and Akito denying Touya's claim and calling it fake. Afterwards, Kohane believes Touya and gets worried that An will be ridiculed for being on the blacklist. She starts to make An memorize everything on two pages in ten minutes, and this leads to An's exasperation and asking Touya why he brought up the blacklist. He urges her that Kohane's method will help, now moving to Akito and ordering him the same.

Moments[]

"Featuring Pochacco"
  • In the first side story, after Touya mentions they should double check the performance times for MORE MORE JUMP! and Wonderlands x Showtime's Puroland shows again, Kohane hands him the notes she had written about the amusement park. Touya thanks her and while they all look at it, Touya compliments her with a "Wouldn't have expected less from the PXL Master."

Quotes[]

Touya“Azusawa, what's the name of the drink you always order at Weekend Garage? You know, the one that sounds like you're casting some sort of spell?”
Kohane“You mean, A cafe mocha with whipped cream, chocolate chips and extra caramel sauce...?”
Touya“Yes, that. I'll need to write it down so I don't mix it up when I'm ordering...”
Kohane“I don't think I've ever seen you show interest in anything other than straight blends.”
Touya“I'm just trying to find ways to expand my horizons, so I'd like to try something different for a change. It'll also be two birds with one stone since I'll get a chance to see what my teammate likes while also seeing what it's like from your point of view.”
Kohane“Oh, I see! (Hehe. That's so like him.)”
— Area Conversation at Main Street
Touya“It looks like some of the locals are coming by to wish you a happy birthday, Azusawa. How about you go say hello?”
Kohane“Happy birthday, Aoyagi-kun! For your present, I decided to get you a novel I recommend. If you're interested, please give it a read.”
— Touya and Kohane's Respective Birthday Lines (2023)
“Azusawa's growth this time around has been tremendous. As a member of the same team, I'm feeling inspired too.”
— Touya in "Awakening Beat" After Live
“As teammates, we're not about to let you leave us behind.”
— Touya in Kohane 2022 Birthday Virtual Live
Touya“I can't wait for the day when we all join together to put on the best event ever... And bear witness to something truly incredible.”
Kohane“Yeah! Let's make it happen!”

Fanon[]

They're mostly liked as a "calm and sweet" couple. With a cool tall boyfriend and cute small girlfriend image, they're often called similar to the kind of couple that appears in shoujo manga. One of most popular prompts used by shippers is how Touya would give public display of affections to Kohane without any hesitation due to his straightforward nature. The ship is also appreciated because of how Touya was nice and accepting towards Kohane even when Vivids and BAD DOGS were still rivals, in contrast to Akito's initial apprehensiveness.

Although not as shipped in the Western fandom, Toukoha has a moderate fanbase. Meanwhile in the Eastern fandom, it is currently the second most popular VBS het ship based on the number of Pixiv works. In Pixiv, they have 902 fanworks in total (294 illustrations + 79 manga + 529 fanfictions), making them the 4th het ship with most fan content after Ruinene, Emukasa, and Akian. It is mostly rivaled by Anhane and AkiToya. Many Toukoha fans also tend to ship Akian at the same time, with them appearing in their works and vice versa. It is currently the most written het ship for both of them on AO3 as well.

Ship Weeks[]

The first Toukoha Week was held on May 2-8, 2023 under the tkhweek2023 hashtag on Twitter. The prompts for the first day were "first date", "café or flowers" for the second day, "fantasy AU or ballroom dance" for the third day, "Junky Night Town or singing" for the fourth day, "sun x moon" for the fifth day, "school or surprise" for the sixth day, and the seventh and final day was "arcade or claw machine".
