In spite of this, Taiga tries to put up with her antics as Yusaku wants them to all get along, and Ami begins to grow feelings for Ryuji.

They meet Yusaku's childhood friend Ami Kawashima, a popular teen model who transfers into their school. Although Ryuji and Taiga try to dispel the rumors, they find that they do enjoy each other's company, with Taiga visiting Ryuji's house to share meals, and Ryuji checking up on Taiga to get her to school, and cleaning for her. Their classmates observe that they are spending a lot of time with each other, leading to rumors that they might be a couple. Over the course of the series, Ryuji and Taiga try to set up romantic situations to help each other get to know their friends, but many of the situations backfire. When Ryuji discovers that Taiga has a crush on Yusaku, and Taiga finds out about Ryuji's affections towards Minori, they make an arrangement to help set each other up with their crushes.

He is happy to be classmates with his best friend Yusaku Kitamura, as well as the girl he has a crush on, Minori Kushieda.

Inversely, ryū ( 竜) means dragon, and is synonymous with doragon ( ドラゴン), the English word dragon transcribed into Japanese. Taiga's name is almost homophonic with taigā ( タイガー) from English tiger (the final a is more lengthened in the English loanword), which is synonymous with the native Japanese word tora ( とら). The title Toradora! is derived from the names of the two main characters Taiga Aisaka and Ryūji Takasu.
