It was created by Jason DeMarco and Sean Akins and produced by Williams Street. The name is a Portmanteau of the words "cartoon" and "Tsunami", suggesting a "tidal wave" of animated shows. Toonami initially ran on Cartoon Network from March 17, 1997 to September 20, 2008. In its original run, the block was famous for showcasing action anime that were popular with American audiences, including Dragon Ball Z, Gundam Wing, Rurouni Kenshin, Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo!, One Piece, Outlaw Star, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Naruto. It was also recognized for its distinctive space-themed backdrop, anime music videos, drum 'n' bass soundtrack, and host (a robot named T.O.M.). On May 26, 2012, Adult Swim relaunched Toonami as an adult-oriented animated block, which continues as a Saturday night action block.

Toonami was also known for having a darker atmosphere than other animation blocks, as well as its ambient music, and well-edited promos that were narrated by Peter Cullen (who is famously known as the voice of Optimus Prime in The Transformers). In 2008, Toonami was shut down due to low ratings, with the shows airing at the time being aired during regular Cartoon Network hours before being removed as well. On April 1st 2012, [adult swim] began their annual April Fools Day act of airing The Room, only to then cut to a brief return of the TOM 3 iteration of Toonami. The rest of the night continued with the usual airing of Bleach, followed by episodes of classic Toonami shows, advertisements for said shows' DVD releases, and a game review of Mass Effect 3. The act garnered enough positive attention that Toonami was eventually revived as a Saturday night action-animation block, airing on [adult swim] hours and replacing [adult swim] Action. Voltron: Defender of the Universe aired from March 17, 1997 to May 29, 1997 as part of their action block Toonami, with the remaining 72 episodes of Voltron: Defender of the Universe series that had not been aired on Toonami, and went on to show reruns of previous episodes. Reruns of Voltron: Defender of the Universe continued to air from May 30, 1997 until February 27, 2000, after which it was removed from the programming schedule.

On April 1, 2012, Adult Swim aired Toonami for April Fools' Day. After the scheduled Bleach airing, the network aired shows such as Dragon Ball Z, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, Outlaw Star, and YuYu Hakusho. The following day, Adult Swim posted a message on Twitter, stating, "Want it back? Let us know. #BringBackToonami". On April 4, Adult Swim followed up by stating, "#BringBackToonami We've heard you. Thank you for your passion and interest - stay tuned." On April 8, Adult Swim aired two bumpers about the Toonami tweets and answered with "[we're listening]" and "[we're looking into it]". On May 16, Adult Swim posted a message on Facebook announcing that Toonami would return on May 26. The block premiered with a line-up of Bleach, Deadman Wonderland, Casshern Sins, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Ghost In The Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig, and Cowboy Bebop. Toonami would expand to a full six hours on October 6, and Sym-Bionic Titan and ThunderCats would be added to the block, becoming the first shows not produced in Japan on the Adult Swim version of the block. On April 27, Toonami premiered its new look, featuring the return of supporting host S.A.R.A. (now voiced by Dana Swanson), and also the return of Toonami's original series IGPX: Immortal Grand Prix.

Cartoon Network made a grave mistake when they ended it's life in 2008. TOM's last words before leaving were: "Until we meet again, Stay gold...Bang." It was a reference to Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop, whose character gave co-creators Jason DeMarco and Sean Akins the idea to have Blum replace Sonny Strait as TOM's voice. Seriously, it went all downhill after Dragon Ball Z ended and Naruto came in. Curse you, Stuart Snyder. Even though Cartoon Network's late-night counterpart, Adult Swim, has since revived the block after an April Fool's stunt in 2012, any Transformers-related media will most likely never air on the block again since Toonami aims towards an older audience now, as well as Hasbro owning their own network to stream their shows on. However, a fan-based channel called Toonami Aftermath airs two consecutive episodes of Beast Wars and Generation 1 each, on weekend mornings. On a side note, Youtuber Jon3pnt0, a well-known impressionist of Peter Cullen's take on Optimus Prime, was asked recently about joining the Toonami staff as a successor to Cullen. However, he replied in saying he would like permission from Cullen himself before considering taking over such a role.

A final bumper related to Toonami aired on Adult Swim May 16, 2012 that finally revealed Toonami's true relaunch date, in the bumper's own text, "5.26.12" is what it stated as the return date of Toonami.
