Toua Tokuchi is the protagonist of the One Outs manga series. At the start of the series, he is a gambler living in Okinawa who has made a name for himself as an unbeatable pitcher in One Outs, a gambling variant of baseball. After meeting Kojima, however, he is recruited as the pitcher for the Saitama Lycaons baseball team.

Skills

  • Psychology: Tokuchi's gambler instincts make him an expert in reading people, which turns out to be his greatest asset as a pitcher. His ability to accurately assess his opponent's state of mind and thought process allows him to predict what the batter expects him to pitch and instead do the opposite. Even when not pitching, this ability allows Tokuchi to come up with strategies against the other team's players that exploit and manipulate their way of thinking.
  • Pitching: Despite only being able to pitch fastballs, Tokuchi's secret weapon is his ability to skillfully adjust the spin of his pitches so that the ball unexpectedly dips or rises in midair. Being almost impossible to differentiate from a regular fastball, this gives batters the impression that the ball avoids the bat just as they are about to hit it. Combined with Tokuchi's ability to read his opponents, this allows him to choose between the three varieties of fastball at will according to what will catch the batter off-guard, forming the basis of his mind games on the pitching mound and allowing him to strike out entire lineups of batters without giving up a single run.
