"Touya Hachijo" or "Toya" is the name given to Battler Ushiromiya after he is found alive by Ikuko Hachijo after the Rokkenjima incident. He suffers from amnesia and remembers nothing about himself other than that he was 18 years old at the time of his rescue (hence the name "Toya," which is written using the same kanji as the number eighteen). He lives together with Ikuko and helps her with the planning and direction of her novels, which she publishes under his name. He began to recover his memories as Battler upon hearing of the Rokkenjima incident from Ikuko but, being of an entirely different personality, developed a personality disorder out of fear that his old personality will overtake him. He is known to have attempted suicide because of this, which has confined him to a wheelchair. He is responsible for writing most of the events portrayed in the series, which is his way of coping with his memories.
The end of the series reveals that Battler is a shell of his former self, as after a bomb went off on the island and killed everyone but him and Yasu (and Eva, who escaped the explosion); Yasu herself died afterward. The resulting trauma turned his hair stark white, and the stories of chapter 3–6 are from his recollections of the events narrated to the woman he is living with,Ikuko.
