Todd Ianuzzi is a violent hoodlum in Highland, age unknown -he's said to have dropped out of Highland High two years before the episode Steamroller but fandom usually assumes he's an adult. That's a bit worrying because various media has him dating Gina, one of Daria Morgendorffer's classmates...

Beavis and Butt-head look up to Todd and aspire to become part of his gang which consists of himself, his friends Slade and Earl, and various minor goons. Todd, however, expresses only contempt for the two, assaulting them with little or no provocation; he will sometimes exploit their gullibility (which can backfire on him). The lads are too thick to notice this.

His surname was revealed as Ianuzzi in This Book Sucks.

In canon, Daria had no interaction with him (except for him damaging the family's mailbox in Beavis and Butt-head issue 10) though she did go to school with Gina and Earl. Fandom has long exploited this link between Daria and a hyperviolent criminal, however; various fanworks have her running afoul of him in Highland, use him as a threat later on, and in one case had him as a serial killer dating Jane in a pastiche of Natural Born Killers.
