“	And I pledge to you that as Toa of Fire I will do all I can to keep you and our home safe from harm. Remember -- your bravery, your wisdom, your spirit, make you as mighty as any Toa!	„

Personality

“	This Fire Toa is full of hot air. Will he be prepared for the heat of battle, or will he burn out quickly?	„
	~ Kopaka's thought about Tahu.

Tahu was very strong and brave but was also the fiercest and the most feared. His ideas sometimes clashed with Kopaka's, however they had a mutual respect for each other. His flaming temper could make him hotheaded and irrational at times. Since he had the least patience of the Toa he would jump into a situation without thinking, which could get him, and the other Toa, into a predicament, however this changed as he matured.

However as Tahu also had a tendency to be very lucky, he always managed to come out on the top. He is also very optimistic and was very determined and courageous.

Tahu is a skillful master of fire. He controls the power of fire and flame as he uses them to shoot out fireballs at his enemies.

Quotes

“	Greetings! I am Tahu, Toa of Fire. The prophecy has brought us together under my command.	„
