He is Bardock's best friend and is like a brother to him. Toma along with Bardock, Seripa, Totepo, and Panbukin attacked Planet Kanassa as Oozarus. After Bardock is attacked by one of the last surviving members of Kanassa, Tora and others decided to return him back to their home world Planet Vegeta so that he could be healed. After hearing that there is some possible damage in his brainwave patterns they've decided to leave without him to destroy the inhabitants on Planet Meat as their next assignment. After reaching Meat they immediately destroy all of its natives, but before they could celebrate the moment, they were ambushed.As Toma's was severly beaten, Dodoria revealed Freeza's true intentions: To destroy the entire Saiyan race to prevent the Super Saiyan of legend from emerging in order to challenge him. Toma initially survives this brutal assault, but dies of his wounds when informing Bardock of what happened. Toma is the only person Bardock gets a chance to talk to when he finds his group slaughtered by Dodoria and his elites. When Bardock discovers his ravaged comrades, and to some fortune finds that Toma is alive but in critical condition. Vowing to avenge the four, Bardock removes Toma's armband, now soaked in blood, and dons it over his head (providing an emotional backstory for one of Bardock's most recognizable physical features).

He also made a cameo appearance along with Bardock and Seripa in an episode of Dragon Ball Z (The Ultimate Battle), during Freeza's recollection of various Saiyans whose deaths he was responsible for. 

Toma's original character design by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru differed much from the final draft by Akira Toriyama. Originally he had hair that closely resembled Vegeta's. His body was not muscular like it is now, he was actually drawn with a much thinner body, which made him look taller than Bardock. Like a few other members of Bardock's team, Tora's name was not changed completely from the original draft to the final draft, as it was Tomā; the other members consist of Bardock and Panbukin (Shugesh in American Dubs)
