Tojo a grandi après la guerre au Japon sous la splendide montagne volcanique nommé Sakurajima à Kagoshima, à la pointe sud du Japon. À son jeune âge, il a voyagé à Osaka où il devient apprenti dans le célèbre restaurant Ohnoya, qui est l'un des principaux ryotei du Japon, un restaurant de type très haut de gamme et très traditionnel. Pendant des années, Tojo a travaillé 16 heures par jour à Ohnoya, il a ainsi maîtrisé un répertoire encyclopédique de près de 2000 recettes traditionnelles japonaises qu'il peut faire resurgir de sa mémoire même aujourd'hui. Ici, il a également développé les disciplines de sélectionner les poissons et les produits les plus frais . Reconnaissant que sa passion pour la créativité le conduisait au-delà des frontières strictes de la cuisine au Japon, Tojo a choisi de venir en Amérique du Nord en 1971, où il a estimé qu'une population multiculturelle sans a priori serait plus réceptif à ses idées. Il a trouvé son public parfait à Vancouver.
