Tomoka has short dark-purple hair that has a side pony-tail and twin hairbands extend from temples. dark-purple irises and a mole under left eye.

Her body's height is average, but flat-chested, which is a major concern to her when comparing bust size with Airi Kashii.

Tomoka is one of the more mature girls in the group, as she is confident, self-assured and caring of her peers. She is also shown to be respectful to her friends.

Of all the girls, Tomoka is the one who gets closest to Subaru and seems to be the one who likes him the most.

Tomoka is rather smart as she seems to be able to do her homework ok, but still an advance learner with Saki Nagatsuka and Maho Misawa. She is also very proficient at basketball, something that even amazes Subaru, a good player in his own right. She is known for the color pink, just like Hinata Hakamada.
