Biography[]
Tobin "Toby" Seville is Dave's immature and lazy cousin. He also becomes the Chipmunks' other caretaker when Dave gets injured. Toby is a slacker who loves to play video games.

He filled in as caretaker for his injured grandmother, Jackie, whom he was living with at the time, when she was incapacitated.
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel[]
Dave is seriously injured in a benefit concert as a result of Alvin being carried away and knocking a giant Alvin billboard into Dave, sending him flying a good distance. Dave survives the accident, but is left temporarily disabled as a result. During his recovery, Dave reveals that he has arranged for the Chipmunks to go to school and for Jackie to watch after him during his recovery. When Toby arrives to take care of the Chipmunks, he is depicted as lazy, and having a love for video games as well as having a sarcastic demeanor. It's hinted through movie clips that Toby is having trouble controlling them and is often quarreling with the Chipmunks. For example, while playing Wii Bowling, Alvin breaks Dave's new TV, and he nervously suggests that they play his second favorite game, which is to hide the broken TV from Dave. Much to the shock and disbelief of the Chipmunks, Toby claimed he was extremely popular when he went to school. In the flashback, he was an outsider like Simon and Theodore in high school. He is countered by the Chipmunks, who point out that he's still living with his grandmother, referring to himself as "The Tobester", and going "Pew! Pew! Pew!" all day. But unlike Dave, Toby is more loyal and very understanding to the Chipmunks.
During the Chipmunks and the Chipettes' performance at the end of the film, he runs into Julie. He nervously holds out his hand for a handshake, but she instead warmly embraces him, beginning a romantic relationship. He is last seen dancing in the finale to "Shake Your Groove Thing" with everyone else.
It's presumed that he went back home to Aunt Jackie's house once Dave returned from the hospital.
