Todō was first introduced when Kensei Muguruma and other high ranking seated officers of the 9th Division are sent to investigate the disappearance of the Rukongai residents. He and the other 9th Division members are seen saving a young Shūhei Hisagi and his friends from a Hollow. After the battle, they learn from Mashiro Kuna (who was absent during the fight) that there are missing Shinigami as well. Kensei connects 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 sends Todō out to retrieve a researcher of the 12th Division to investigate the possibility of some pathogen being the cause. Todō is able to successfully enter the 12th Division's lab and have Captain Urahara assign Lieutenant Hiyori to go help. Later in the night, he returns to the camp with Kaname Tōsen remarking on his lateness as Shinobu Eishima and Tōsen stand guard outside. Todō offers to take over guard duty watch from Tōsen so that he can have a break, but Tōsen refuses, insisting that all three of them watch. While Lieutenant Kuna, Kensei and 3rd Seat Heizō Kasaki were resting, he and the other seated officers are attacked by someone. Kensei and Kasaki hear screams and rush 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 is disproved when he is also revealed to have been killed.
