Being the older brother, Toguro has a somewhat-elderly and bedraggled appearance. He bared a more European-like appearance, in contrast to his Asian-looking brother. His most noticeable feature is his snow-white skin color, the cause of which is unknown. He has long, unkempt, gray hair parted down the middle of his head, long, pointy finger nails, and wears a dark blue button-up shirt, and matching pants. He is significantly smaller than his brother, who is twice his size, and is initially seen perched on his younger brother's shoulders.^[1]While he is diminutive in both versions, his size is considerably different in the manga and anime. In the anime, his height is believable for a normal human being. In the manga however, he is much smaller, being the size of a small animal.
Given that Toguro is a shape-shifter with full control over his body, he occasionally twists the inside of his body, moving various organs to unusual areas, such as his heart onto his hands. Toguro could manipulate his body to such an extent that his hand could become a dummy for his full body. Toguro could even take on the form of inanimate objects, whether it was a limb or his entire body. And in one occasion, he displayed the ability of replicating the appearance of other people, namely Genkai, during his fight against Kuwabara.
It was implied, by younger Toguro, that elder Toguro had a sense of honor as he dedicated his life to martial arts. But after becoming a demon, he later becomes corrupted, resulting to his warped personality. Elder Toguro differs from his younger brother in many ways. He is noticeably sadistic, gaining pleasure from torturing his opponents both physically and mentally. This is something which has been shown to bother his younger brother. He is arrogant, stating that out of the two brothers he is the brains while the Younger Toguro is the brawn. He is disrespectful, mocking Genkai after her death. Worst of all, and much to Younger Toguro's displeasure, he has no sense of honor and has been shown to use dishonest means when fighting.

Like all of his team, he enjoys fighting, as seen when he stepped up to fight Hiei, but was interrupted by Bui. He has some respect for his brother, as he is visibly upset when Younger Toguro decided to turn on him after his disgusting insult to Genkai. Regardless, both brothers shared common interests, as both chose to become demons that never grew old, completely followed the orders of their contractor, allowed Bui and Karasu to join their team, knowing that they were planning their vengeance, and harbouring feelings for Genkai. However, Elder Toguro merely had a sexual attraction to her during her youth, as opposed to Younger Toguro's deep respect for her as a fighter and as a person
