History[]
Past[]
As a child, Hoeru lived a normal life with his family which consisted of his brother, Hisamitsu and their parents. Hoeru greatly admired his older brother as the latter would ace at everything that he could master. 
TV STORY-Ep. 8: Between Right and Wrong, the Ring Hunter
But one day while playing in the forest, an unspecified event caused the two brothers to be suddenly transported to the No One World with several other civilians. They all stood to see the Ring Case Castle towering above the trees only to be suddenly attacked by a horde of incomplete No. 1 Monsters, intending to use the humans as hosts to complete themselves. Hoeru, Hisamitsu, and all the other humans ran and tried to escape the world's natives. TV STORY-Ep. 6: The Final Battle! The Great Adventure of Tokonatsu Castle
After losing the horde, at some point, the siblings then met a woman named Mine Takanashi and a man named Koyo Iwao who were also spirited away with them. After the group found a home somewhere in the No One World, Koyo took care of them. The four of them (Along with the other humans) lived together for a period until they were found by Bridans again.
When Hoeru, Hisamitsu, Mine, and Koyo were left the only ones that the Bridan hadn't captured, Koyo fought the Ai but became overwhelmed and when Hisamitsu tried to help Koyo, he had himself abducted by Guardin instead, forcing Koyo to rescue him and follow the latter to Ring Case Castle, leaving Hoeru and Mine to continue living together, likely somewhere else. TV STORY-Ep. 38: Judgment: Ring Hunter
As they survived in No One World, the Mine and Hoeru somehow figured out that wishes are what caused the No.1 Monsters to target humans so Mine began to frequently tell Hoeru to repress and hold back his wishes and desires in order to prevent him from being absorbed.
At some point, the two had dashed into an alley, not too far away from Ring Case Castle and No One world. They had likely escaped another horde of No.1 Monsters or forces of the Bridan. After they were safe and far away, Mine likely knew what was about to happen to her, and once again told Hoeru never to wish for anything before disappearing into thin air due to being consumed by a No.1 monster's generative process. Hoeru was left all alone and supposedly the only survivor of the people who were abducted into No One World, having to survive for ten years in it. TV STORY-Ep. 1: Savior No.1!
Ten years later, he somehow returned to Earth and tried to reunite with his parents. When he returned to their home however, he saw that his parents had moved on and had adopted two sons in their absence, unwittingly disowning him and his brother. Not wanting to ruin anything, Hoeru then walked away without them knowing, and became an outcast. TV STORY-Ep. 6: The Final Battle! The Great Adventure of Tokonatsu Castle
At some point, Hoeru met Saori Iijima. She rented him the second floor of her business, Cafe Half Century, living in a poverish life. Though Hoeru has tried to find part-time jobs to compensate his life, he always found himself being fired soon due to his outcast personality. Meanwhile, he has also become known as the Red Folded Knife among the thugs in the city, where he fights them with bare fist alone.
Signing the Contract & Becoming GozyuWolf[]
Hoeru becoming GozyuWolf
Hoeru works sluggishly at a convenience store, but his co-worker Natsume Tsutsumi motivates him to smile and be energetic. After saving customers and staff from an armed robber, he was fired. Later, at Half Century cafe, he faced repetitive chants from a voice. He goes downstairs and is greeted by Aoi and criticized by Saori. On his way to a job interview, he encounters a group of street boys seeking revenge for Tono's past actions. He initially walks away, but when a street boy threatens Saori and Aoi, he takes a beating to make amends for his actions. Natsume arrives at the scene, worried that Hoeru might get in trouble. But Hoeru shrugs it off, calling himself an outcast and claiming that his life is worthless anyway.
He and Natsume have a conversation at the park, where they discuss the incident at the store and Hoeru's reasons for working there. He is intrigued by Natsume's wishes about being number one, but he doesn't have wishes of his own. Hoeru is caught in the crossfire of King Candelor's massive attack. He witnesses Natsume transforming into Kuwagata Ohger and is impressed. Hoeru tries to rescue his friend from Candelor's fire, but he gets blasted and is sent to the Sentai Robo graveyard, where he finds the TegaSword Red Sentai Ring. Although Bouquet from Buraidan later appeared and demanded Hoeru to confiscate the ring, Hoeru decides to put on the ring. Once again, he teleports to a space and meets Giant God TegaSword, who offers him a Ring Contract. The deity lectures him about wishes and compels him to strive to be number one. So Hoeru accepts the contract and returns to the human world.
He confronts Fire Candle, summons TegaSword Red, and emerges victorious in the first No. 1 Battle. With the Combatant Ai still standing, he transforms into GozyuWolf for the first time. He uses his ferocious fighting skills to defeat the Combatant Ai, ultimately defeating them with the Finish Finger. Hoeru meets up with Natsume again to settle his debts. When Hoeru claims he'll become number one without making a wish just yet, he and a furious Natsume clash in their Ranger forms. TV STORY-Ep. 1: Savior No.1!
The Hard Decisions & Gaining the WolfDecalibur50[]
Hoeru leaving the Gozyugers
After being coerced and manipulated by his brother, Hoeru snaps and begins to attack the other Gozyugers in a blind fit of rage to the others shock. Garyudo descends and tells the Gozyugers that he has "freed" his brothers to their shock and begin to fight them, meanwhile Hoeru gets interrupted by Fire Candle and takes his challenge for another fight. Both call upon their Mechs and begin a grueling fight, Hoeru's attacks gets easily dodged and countered by Fire Candle even mocking Hoeru for his sloppy fight.
Hoeru begins to realize and falls near some gas containers, exploding them. Fire Candle takes the opportunity to unleash King Candelor's finishing move but stops stating that this was not the fight he wanted saying that he can't feel Hoeru's flame and is now but a hollow puppet that he doesn't even feel anything if he defeats Hoeru. Fire Candle retreats in anger as Hoeru takes in what just transpired to him.
Arriving back from the fight, the other four Gozyugers surround him and are readying themselves to continue the fight that was interrupted by Garyudo, Hoeru looks blankly and takes of his ring saying that he doesn't have a dream and will never have one and throws his ring away, saying he's quit being a Gozyuger to the shock of the others. He walks off as Kuon watches over him, harking Hoeru with his X and saying that Hoeru now is his prey... TV STORY-Ep. 8: Between Right and Wrong, the Ring Hunter
After quitting his team, Hoeru finds himself employed as a butler at the Black Hole Cafe. His rough, unapologetic, "wild yankee" style quickly draws the attention of female customers and earns praise from the manager. However, when he receives an order from Fire Candle— who ends up eating Hoeru's sandwich without paying— a heated confrontation erupts. The manager intervenes by recruiting Fire Candle to work at the café, sparking Hoeru's dismay and igniting a rivalry over who should be number one.
Matters escalate when Fire Candle derides Hoeru as a "loser", provoking him into challenging Fire Candle to prove who is the best butler. As they compete in various tasks to win the manager's favor, their rivalry deepens into a soul-searching debate about the true meaning of being number one. Hoeru admits to harboring fears born from betrayal and loss, while Fire Candle insists that the thrill of the battle and the enduring inner flame are what truly matter. This bitter exchange leaves Hoeru with a burning resolve to overcome his inner doubts.
Suddenly, TegaSword appears via a commanding billboard, transporting Hoeru to a temporal space where he must confront the pain of lost friendships and repressed emotions. TegaSword reminds him that regardless of whether he fights or not, his friends are still waiting for him— and that fighting might finally free his locked emotions. Returning to the real world, Hoeru arrives just as his allies struggle against Kuon, and TegaSword's message reverberates in his heart.

Trials and RyoTegaSword[]
Hoeru drops off a package at his family's house and leaves, happy to see that his mom and everyone is doing well and that he cannot come back. Suddenly, the outcast feels a strange sensation in his brain, showing him images as he appears at Robo Graveyard again before hearing TegaSword's voice when asked why he was there. Hoeru claims he saw a sword in his mind and TegaSword claims that it needs to fight the Calamity as it glows.
With Hoeru, TegaSword tells him that the sword he saw is the Final Sword and that no one has managed to pull it out yet. He tells the stray that he saw it so he was chosen to wield it as a test. Just then, the sword lights up and Hoeru is in front of his house. Hoeru's mom opens the door and welcomes Hoeru back. Hoeru is very confused but follows and sees that there is dinner being set up. Hoeru is surprised to see his father and his brother, Hisamitsu.

With delight, Hoeru comes and sits down with his reunited family and joins them with the feast, TegaSword catches a glimpse of this from the window and is happy to see this.
Back at Hoeru's house he is playing football with his big brother and claims he will not lose his brother in it as he's the ace player. Hisamitsu claims he has gotten a lot of things that him personally didn't have before, like being serious over a hamburger steak. Hoeru suddenly messes up his kick-ups and his older tells him he's still the No.1 in kick-ups. Just then, Hoeru hears TegaSword's voice saying No.1, No.1. Hoeru then appears in front of TegaSword where he gives him two choices. A - the original world with his Gozyuger friends or B - the world he is in with his family, without TegaSword, who shows him a flashback of the previous great battle against the Calamity. Hoeru is in confusion, which to choose from, he sees his family wanting him back and he sees his friends struggling to defeat Temuno and Rei and need his help. He asks TegaSword what will happen to his friends, to which he answers that the world without him would mean the Calamity also disappearing. Hoeru without TegaSword, the other Gozyugers' wishes are gone. He apologizes to his family and decides to choose the original world with his friends, reminiscing the times they had with each other. Saying that if their wishes are gone, he'll happily become a stray again. TegaSword tells him if he is not there, Hoeru can be happy again. Hoeru claims TegaSword doesn't decide his happiness, he'll make his own path and tries to pull the sword out with no avail. TegaSword claims if he can't pull out the sword his desire isn't strong enough. Hoeru claims him and TegaSword are collaborators and asks for his help. Moved by his words, TegaSword, without hesitation, helps him and the both of them pull out the sword together.
Hoeru becoming TegaSword GozyuWolf
Meanwhile with the others, they are still fighting off Temuno and Rei and still being overpowered. Temuno aims at the weakened Gozyugers and tries to finish them off but just then, Hoeru comes and stops the attack with the RyoTegaSword. Hoeru tells them to leave the rest to him, before engaging and becoming the powerful, strong and the peak TegaSword GozyuWolf! Suddenly, TegaSword's voice is heard from within Hoeru claiming that he and Hoeru possess this power together as one. Mashiro is stunned by this, claiming they've fused and Ryugi is jealous by this.

Happy, he claims that he'll visit them again one day and leaves. When Hoeru's dad checks up on his mom, she hesitates a little and Hoeru walks off. TV STORY-Ep. 33: Choose Your World!

Personality[]
Hoeru is rude, has a foul mouth, and is strong only in his arms. He is impulsive and hard to approach, but a good guy at heart. He is a "straggler" with no family or friends and keeps switching part-time jobs because his unpleasant attitude makes it difficult for him to stay employed at his part-time jobs for a long time.
Since his incident in the No One World, he has lived his life without a wish, thus having no wish he wants to fulfill when he signed the contract with Tegasword. This affects him not having enjoy a normal school life, as he is shown interest in many child events like sports day, and enjoys learning new knowledges like gyaru culture and mochitsuki with high concentration. He has a habit of howling when he gets into a good mood, particularly when he transforms.
Hoeru is financially unstable which forces him to lead a poor lifestyle. As a result, he loves free and cheap things and reusing things for different purposes like empty milk cartons and cans as holders.
A running gag in the show is Hoeru using Tegasword for trivial purposes outside battle such as using him as a shovel or standing on his arm to get more sunlight, while even considering living in it as his new home to save rent. This constantly earns him the anger of Ryugi causing the latter to threaten to throw large and heavy objects at him.
Overtime, Hoeru starts becoming more polite and slowly starts changing himself to be a better person. However he still lose his new jobs quickly due to different reasons.

- As GozyuWolf, his suit actor was originally Kosuke Asai (浅井 宏輔 Asai Kōsuke). However, due to Asai's chronic illness worsening, he was replaced by Shigeki Ito (伊藤茂騎 Itō Shigeki) for episode 29 onwards.[7] This is Asai's final role before his departure from Japan Action Enterprise.[8]

Etymology[]
- Hoeru's given name translates into "howl," an action wolves and dogs are infamous for doing.
- His surname "Tono" translates into "distant field," referencing how guarded Hoeru is.
- His full name is a nod to wolves' "Distant Howling" (遠吠え Tōboe).
Notes[]
- Due to Hoeru's poverty, his means of acquiring sugar comes from drinking nectar from the flowers that he picked. Writer Akiko Inoue likens this habit to how certain children would drink flower nectar, as azalea was originally proposed for that scene, but was substituted with other flowers out of fear of children imitating his actions with certain poisonous azaleas. This scene was originally intended to start in episode 2, only to be carried out later in episode 4 due to time constraints.[9]
- In Episode 2, Hoeru's socks in his Cockpit Uniform are shown to have holes in them, and he's also shown to eat bread crusts and milk, further hinting at his poverty.
- Hoeru is the second Red Ranger with a canine theme after Wolzard Fire and the first to be part of a core Ranger team.
- According to an interview with Daigo Matsuura, [10]Wild GozyuWolf's tentative name was Full Moon GozyuWolf (フルムーンゴジュウウルフ Furu Mūn Gojūurufu). The original concept during the planning was "Because I'm a wolf, I want to see the full moon and power up into Full Moon GozyuWolf (tentative name)!". Traces of that idea can still be seen with Wild GozyuWolf's transformation, where a full moon is briefly seen filling in the space on his chest.
