Welcome to the D community.

I've never heard of Tokyocabinet, but I did a search and the 
header files look like they'd be a straightforward translation to 
D, for instance
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~tokyocabinet/tokyocabinet/c99-posix-trunk/view/head:/tcutil.h

You can call C libraries directly. I'd suggest trying dstep on 
the header files as a first step.

These resources might help:

http://dlang.org/spec/interfaceToC.html

You only need to write a binding for functions that you actually 
want to call, which might explain why nobody has made bindings 
available.
