Todō was first introduced when Kensei Muguruma and other high ranking seated officers of the 9th Division were sent to investigate the disappearance of the Rukongai residents. He and the other 9th Division members were seen saving a young Shūhei Hisagi and his friends from a Hollow. After the battle, they learned from Mashiro Kuna (who was absent during the fight) that there were missing Shinigami as well. Kensei connected the number of empty shihakushō that Kuna found with the number of members in a vanguard that was sent to investigate earlier. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Kensei sent Todō out to retrieve a researcher of the 12th Division to investigate the possibility of some pathogen being the cause. Todō was able to successfully enter the 12th Division's lab and have Captain Urahara assign Lieutenant Hiyori to go help. Later in the night, he returned to the camp with Kaname Tōsen, remarking on his lateness as Shinobu Eishima and Tōsen stood guard outside. Todō offered to take over guard duty watch from Tōsen so that he could have a break, but Tōsen refused, insisting that all three of them watched. While Lieutenant Kuna, Kensei and 3rd Seat Heizō Kasaki were resting, he and the other seated officers were attacked by someone. Kensei and Kasaki heard screams and rushed outside to find Todō standing with the other two lying on the ground. Initially, due to his strange behavior, Kensei and Kasaki believed that Todō was behind that attack, but this was disproved when he was also revealed to have been killed.
