Last I checked, this character's cosplay outfit was available at Milanoo and Moon Costumes.
Sixteen-year-old Tohru Honda's life seems to get stranger and stranger. After a string of tragic and bizarre circumstances, Tohru found herself working as a housekeeper for the Sohma family. Tohru's generous nature, sympathetic heart, and friendly manner are in stark contrast to the prevailing mood in the Sohma House. Her calm, caring compassion is obvious as she kindly puts everyone else's needs above her own.
Tohru is a very kind girl who is always looking on the bright side of everything. Despite the attitude anyone else shows her, she always shows kindness. She even influenced Kyo and Yuki to tone the constant fighting down.
She is usually very deep in thought, and due to this fact, she is very clumsy. In turn for her room at Shigure's house, she cleans the house and makes all their meals for them. And no matter how much Yuki or Kyo get depressed or angry, she never gives up trying to get them to look on the bright side. She even blows all of her money to buy everyone chocolates for Valentine's day in episode 11.
Before she met Yuki and Shigure, she had been living in a tent on what she did not know was their property. Tohru was at first only offered a night there to recover from a fever. Then in the morning, Yuki asked her if she would like to stay there. Things get interesting when she finds out the Sohma family curse.
Tohru has had a pretty rough life, but doesn't show it around people. She loves to help people. She first meets Yuki Sohma and Shigure Sohma when she stops to look at some rocks outside a house that have the Chinese Zodiac animals, but the cat was not among them.
Shigure comes out to see her looking at them. Yuki comes out after a bit. Shortly after meeting Tohru, Yuki and Shigure discover that Tohru has been living in a tent on their property, and so they invite her to stay with them at their house temporarily. She agrees and moves in and starts get to know them and the other Sohma's more and more over time. She moves in for a longer term after Kyo and Yuki go and tell her in their own way that she belongs with them and the miss her.
Tohru Honda is a hopelessly optimistic school girl whose goal in life is to fulfill her mother's dream of finishing high school. She lives with Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure Souma of the elusive cursed Souma clan. She struggles to keep the Souma curse a secret, and to please the other family members.
Tohru's naivety is only surpassed by her endless kindness. She is also very nervous (which also makes her clumsy). She's constantly being bombarded with hugs from Momiji just because he knows its safe to hug her.

I love Tohru :) She is so cute,loving,caring and is loved by everyone in the Sohma family except Akito. Who wouldn't adore her? Akito is just mean.
He may act nice but he really isn't. He is cold hearted.
And whats outrages is he called Tohru ugly!!!
He also hurted some of the other Sohma's.
For the head of the Sohma family he sure is mean.
Tohru is lucky to have Shigure, Yuki and Kyo. They r so nice to her.

I wish I was as kind and patient as her. I have tried my hardest to be like Tohru, and have got to say, based on experience, I actually believe it is not humanly possible.

I don't know. I like Tohru and all, but (in the anime, at least) she's too perfect. She's cute, loved by all the Sohma family members except the Akito, always so kind, so caring, so selfless, innocent, and always cheerful, even in the beginning where her mother, the most important person in the world to her, had just recently died. She was teased badly when she was little but, and though I know people take that sort of thing differently, doesn't act like it even remotely. She doesn't act shy, she's completely trusting of everyone around her, and she doesn't get defensive, even at the end with Akito. I like Tohru and Fruits Basket a lot, but it would have been a lot better if the main character is someone that the audience can relate to. ... show more »

Actually, whenever Momiji hugs Tohru HE turns into a bunny. So technically, its not "safe" for them to hug. Other than that I LOVE Fruits Basket! I finished the anime a while ago, but just found a good site to read the manga!! <3

If Tohru goes anywhere near Kyo then. I will have to do something about it! But if she makes Kyo happy then *sigh* i will just give up on him. p.s KYO IS SO MINE!

At first I thought Yuki looked good with Tohru but then I saw Kyo! Both Yuki and Kyo look good with Tohru :) I have always liked Kyo because 1 my favorite animal is a cat and 2 i like him because he is a good person he just doesn't like to show it all the time. He has a hot temper and he just needs a friend and someone that will love and care about him and that person is Torhu Honda :)
