Characters
Main Characters
- Toriko (トリコ)
- Voiced by: Takashi Kondō (VOMIC), Ryotaro Okiayu (TV series)
- A Gourmet Hunter with an abnormally large appetite (A food serving for 500 people could only get him 1/10 full). He is known as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings," and his nickname is "The Glutton." Despite having a huge appetite and massive power, he does not indiscriminately kill and eat any animal; he only kills those animals he decides to eat. He has immunity to seventy different poisons, created by injecting himself with a near fatal dose of each poison and causing his body to create antibodies. He also has an animal-like sense of smell. He has adopted the Battle Wolf's new born pup and named it Terry Cloth. Like the other Kings, Toriko started off as a chain animal. He and the other Four Heavenly Kings were trained by Ichiryū, the president of the IGO. He has selected Komatsu as his chef in his bishoku-ya and chef combo, which Komatsu accepted.
Hunting Method: Toriko relies on his sheer monster-like strength to capture his targets. Toriko can store 3,000,000 kilocalories in his body.
- Intimidation: When Toriko fights he appears as a hannya demon to both friend and foe.
- Fork and Knife: The first of Toriko's hunting attacks. He places his left hand in a "claw" position (Fork) and his right in a "chop" position (Knife), and with his strength he digs into and grabs hold of a beast with his Fork then quickly cut then with his Knife. Since re-growing his left arm, his Fork has gained more power.
- Ice Pick: Used against Bei's GT Robot Toriko uses his Fork hand with his middle finger over his ring and index fingers for increased piercing power than his Fork has. Ice Pick can be combined with Nail Punch to further increase its piercing power.
- Flying Fork and Knife: After consuming the Jewel Meat of an adult Regal Mammoth, Toriko's Fork and Knife have gained ranged attack capability, though they seem to be effective only at mid-range. Since re-growing his left arm, Toriko's Fork has gained power, also increasing the power and range of his Flying Fork. Each individual "Flying Fork" and "Flying Knife" burns 1,000 kilocalories.
- Leg Fork and Knife: When his Fork arm is cut off by Tommyrod and his Knife arm rendered useless from using the 13-Hit Nail Punch, Toriko resorts to using his legs to fight. As the legs have roughly 3-4 times more strength than the arms, these attacks are deadlier than his normal Fork and Knife and can also be used as projectiles, although they are harder to aim. Toriko notes that using them wears out his legs, although he still seems to move at quick speeds after using them both in succession. Using "Leg Fork" and "Leg Knife" burns 500,000 kilocalories.
- Fork Shield: After he was defeated in the Gourmet World Toriko developed his Fork into a defensive move. By arching his fork arm, he can create a large fork that can be used as a shield. He can also create several of these "Fork Shields" around him, creating a 360° defense. The "Fork Shield" is strong enough to deflect an attack from a beast with a capture level as high as 92. The major drawback is that it requires a lot of stamina to maintain the shield and he can't use it a long range. Using "Fork Shield" burns 50,000 kilocalories.
- Multi-Hit Nail Punch: By focusing his power into one of his arms he can create a punch powerful enough to give any large beast a concussion. He often fires in multiple consecutive blows, but it takes a while to gather his strength, and his muscles become sore afterwards. There is a "Scattered" and a “Concentrated”-type Nail Gun. Toriko usually uses the "Scattered"-type as the "Concentrated"-type requires many times higher concentration. Furthermore, the burden on his arm increases. However, the scope of impact for the "Concentrated"-type compared to the "Scattered"-type is drastically narrower - this allows for stronger piercing power. While fighting Tommyrod it is shown that his new limit is 13-Hits; however the 13-Hit completely renders his left arm useless. Since re-growing his left arm, Toriko's new arm is stronger than before and can withstand using the 13-Hit Nail Punch. After eating the Ozone Herb, he tests his new power on a humongous boulder, and though it is unknown what his limit is, he destroys the boulder with 15-Hit Nail Punch. Each hit of the Nail Punch burns 30,000 kilocalories, so for example, a 15-Hit Nail Punch burns 450,000 kilocalories.
- Multi-Hit Ice Pick Nail Punch: By using the "Concentrated"-type Nail Gun, while putting his hand into the Ice Pick form instead of a fist, he can use a much deadlier piercing attack. It has only been used twice, first against Bei's GT Robo and a second time unsuccessfully against Ichiryū.
- Speed of Sound Multi-Hit Nail Punch: A combo attack done with Zebra, Zebra fires a "Voice Missile" that propels Toriko forward so he is moving at the speed of sound while he powers up a Nail Punch. Zebra then restricts the target's movement with three "Sound Walls" and Toriko hits the target with the Nail Punch, the force of which is intensified by the speed.
- Knocking Gun: Using a special Knocking gun, he paralyzes an animal; this is only used for animals he does not want to eat.
- Shivering: Toriko can maintain his body temperature in sub-zero temperatures simply by his natural application of shivering. This even allows him to defrost and restore frozen body parts before necrosis can set in. Toriko has this ability thanks to his incredible metabolism, which allows him to release tens of thousands of watts of energy constantly. He has a limit of approximately two hours in these temperatures.
- Phytoncide: After being swarmed by 1,000 insects by Tommyrod Toriko's Gourmet Cells started to emit the chemical which trees use to protect themselves against insects, germs and other threats. The amount he emits is so potent that even a small amount is able to dull an insects movement.
- Autophagy: Autophagy occurs when animals are starved and need energy, so their cells consume other cells in their body to get a temporary increase in stamina, and also to remind the body to not enter this state again. Because of Toriko's high metabolism and appetite, if he has not eaten for a long period of time (usually around 12 hours), his cells begin to go into Autophagy. In Toriko's case, his Gourmet Cells are "eaten," and he gets a boost in power and stamina, good for 5 minutes. Within this 5-minute period, he needs to re-nourish his body or face serious health risks.
Full Course Menu: Currently, Toriko has yet to fill his menu in any slot but Hors d'Œuvre, soup, and dessert. He decided that the dish God will be his main dish.
- Hors d'Œuvre: BB Corn (CLVL above 30, due to the difficulty of cooking it)
- Soup: Century Soup
- Fish Dish: Blank
- Meat Dish:Blank
- Main Dish: GOD (Has yet to acquire it)
- Salad: Blank
- Dessert: Rainbow Fruit
- Drink: Blank
- Komatsu (小松)
- Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio (VOMIC), Romi Park (TV series)
- A six-star (initially five) chef who works for Hotel Gourmet, part of the prestigious IGO (International Gourmet Organization). He is timid, but greatly interested by what he finds in his travels with Toriko. As a result, he tries to overcome his fear and does his best to help. He is a highly skilled and competent chef and has a large knowledge of foods that he knows which foods would work well together. Melk the First said that the knife of Komatsu is one of the few knives he got a shock from after seeing, putting Komatsu on a level similar to legendary chefs like Frohze, Setsuno, and Zaus. Because he is otherwise normal, he writes a will whenever he comes along Toriko's hunts. He is the only chef in the world who knows the complete recipe of the Century Soup. He keeps a Wall Penguin as a pet, which is also a key element of the soup. Toriko decided on Komatsu as the chef in his bishoku-ya and chef combo, which Komatsu accepted. Despite Komatsu's small stature, he has shown remarkable courage, such as when watching several large beasts fight with nothing between him and them, confronting a GT robo, knowing that he would likely be killed, and speaking out against Zebra's crimes, again knowing he might very well be killed.
- Toriko Cracker: Special fire crackers created by Toriko for the purpose of scaring away animals by creating a loud noise. Its force is equivalent to a bomb, and the sound can stop Komatsu's heart and destroy his eardrums. Due to Toriko forgetting to tell him to wear ear plugs, Komatsu died for a brief time and was saved by Knocking Master Jirō.
- Century Soup: This legendary soup causes anyone who eats it to form a silly smile of utter satisfaction. Komatsu manages to recreate it after half of a year of experimentation. He decides not to apply to patent the recipe because the Wall Penguins would become over-hunted.
- Derous Knife: A knife made by Melk II. Using a Derous Fang and Komatsu's broken knife, she made this knife that Komatsu uses to prepare countless dishes, as its sharpness has the potential to reach even legendary ingredients. Due to being created from Komatsu's broken knife, he is able to handle its unbelievable sharpness, as noted by Sani, (who commented that the knife would have cut him in two if he tried to pick it up with his 'sense of touch').
Organizations and Groups
Four Heavenly Kings
- Coco (ココ, Koko)
- Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai (TV series)
- The "Gentleman" of the "Four Heavenly Kings," he is good friends with Toriko. While Toriko mostly relies on his brute strength, Coco prefers using stealthy techniques and cunning strategy to subdue aggressors. He is also strong defensively. He is immune to five hundred different kinds of poison. He earns most of his living by working as a fortuneteller; his fortunes have a 97% accuracy rating, which also makes him extremely popular with women and as a result he is mobbed by customers when he is in public. He also has the ability to see non-visible spectrums of light and can read electromagnetic auras in order to predict an animal's next action. He and the other Four Heavenly Kings were trained by Ichiryū, the president of the IGO.
Hunting Method: Due to having numerous poisons within him Coco's body has developed its own kind of poison stronger than what any animal produces. He can produce up to 15 liters of poison, as it is made by converting his body fluids into poison, and too much would cause severe dehydration. This poison can be secreted from any part of his body and he can control the concentration and effect of it; however, its main weakness is that the poison is easy to evade. Coco's poison also becomes darker when he increases its lethality. His body can also instantaneously create antibodies to any venom.
- Intimidation: Most animals instinctively sense the danger of Coco's poison, frightening them in a similar manner to Toriko. Coco projects the image of a Japanese ghost.
- Poison Dressing: Coco causes his body to sweat poison and cover himself with it; the rest of his attacks follow this one.
- Poison Cannon: Coco fires a blob of poison at the target.
- Poison Rifle: Coco fires a minuscule amount of poison from a small area and adds spin to it in order to increase the chance of it hitting. This compensates for Coco's venom's lack of speed.
- Poison Sword: Coco combines blood from his body into a blade and then hardens the poison using some of his blood cells to clot inside the poison and hold it together.
- Hell Poison: A powerful poison Coco uses to destroy his foe entirely. He tends to make sure no other animals are around when he uses it. The poison itself is a chemical made by rapidly vaporizing his body's waste products and has a similar composition to volcanic gas. As well as being deadly when inhaled the poison is highly corrosive and flammable, making a massive explosion when ignited by a laser from a GT Robo.
- Aqua Regia: A liquid poison Coco creates using concentrated hydrochloric acid and nitric acid at a ratio of 3 to 1.
- Erase Life: Coco can "erase" his presence, making him almost completely unnoticeable by all senses but sight. This is shown when Toriko, who was watching him, thought that Coco had disappeared for a moment before seeing him again. He does this by, in a way, "erasing" his intentions. Since animals can sense predators' "intentions", Coco empties his mind so that they cannot realize what he wants with them. Only when he is close enough or grabs them do they realize his true intentions.
Full Course Menu: Currently, Coco is missing three dishes.
- Hors d'Œuvre: Blank
- Soup: Lee Dragon's Tear (CLVL 21)
- Fish Dish: Bureau Kadziki (CLVL 18)
- Meat Dish: G2 Phoenix (CLVL 25)
- Main: Blank
- Salad: Neo Tomato (CLVL 12)
- Dessert: The Fruit of Domu (CLVL 30)
- Drink: Blank
- Sani (サニー, Sanī)
- Voiced by: Mitsuo Iwata (TV series)
- One of the "Four Heavenly Kings," he is first shown to have great strength, like Toriko, carrying a Regal Mammoth with one arm (although this was merely a clever trick from using his monstrously strong hair, each one of its strings being strong enough to lift nearly 500 pounds). He is Rin's older brother. He is a calm and collected pretty boy who judges the beauty of people's actions and speaks in an elegant, almost flirting manner. He has a way of knocking without touching the target, mostly related to his "sensor" talent which allows him to know the physical state of those around him. His sensor is actually thousand upon thousands of super thin hairs that can reach a maximum of 25 feet (7.6 m) in length. Sani's body has a very high body temperature and powerful sense of touch, being touched by his hair or any part of his body can only be described as Sani tasting whatever he is touching. He seeks "harmony" in his dishes, defined as the perfect use of ingredients, perfect handling of the food, and most importantly producing the prefect taste. He seems to be slightly in love with Komatsu (or at least his skills since they seem to produce the "harmony" Sani looks for in meals). When he sees Rin his calm personality disappears and is replaced by that of an over-protective older brother, shocked by how much weight she gained from eating too many sweets, leading to a comical sibling spat between them. He also expresses a great sense of disgust towards the Bishoku-kai, displaying anger after seeing the slaughtered creatures with a bite taken out of them that followed a GT Robo's path of destruction. He and the other Four Heavenly Kings were trained by Ichiryū, the president of the IGO.
Hunting Method: Sani hunts by using his hair to capture his prey. He can also use it to stop and counter enemy attacks.
- Intimidation: Like most of the other hunters, including the other kings, Sani uses a form of intimidation to scare an enemy into surrender. However, because of his love of beauty Sani only uses intimidation when his foe has truly disgusted him, such as when he encounters the GT Robo responsible for taking a single bite out of the creatures of an area and leaving them to rot. His intimidation is the creation of an evil spirit out of his hair, which also makes his intimidation the only one openly visible and not just sensed by killing intent.
- Spatula: using his hair Sani can reflect the force of his enemies attacks back at them.
- Hair Net: Sani uses his hairs to trap his prey and with his high body temperature, slowly cook them while they are trapped. This can also be used to catch thrown objects before flinging them back at his adversary using Spatula.
- Hair Operation: Sani can perform makeshift surgery by using his "touch," as seen when he uses it to close and stitch Rin's wounds.
- Hair Lock: Sani traps his opponent/target in his hair so they can't make a move.
- Hair Punch: After Sani activates his intimidation, he punches his target with its fist.
Full Course Menu: Note, all the food on Sani's menu all have to do with skin care. (His Full Course has been called the most unbalanced). Sani is considering the ingredient "EARTH" as his dessert dish. Sani is the closest to completing his full course meal.
- Hors d'Œuvre: Beautiful Skin Caviar (CLVL 30)
- Soup: Charis Lobster Soup (CLVL 19)
- Fish Dish: Skin Whitening Tuna (CLVL 25)
- Meat Dish: Perfect Beauty Cattle (CLVL 21)
- Main: Regal Mammoth - Jewel Meat (CLVL 48)
- Salad: Mochi Skin Bean Sprouts (CLVL 15)
- Dessert: EARTH (has yet to acquire it)
- Drink: Charis Dragon Scale Sake (CLVL 35)
- Zebra (ゼブラ)
- Described by Toriko as the most powerful of the "Four Heavenly Kings" for his pure destructive capabilities, Zebra is a very large and well-built man with scars that cover most of his body, one of the more striking ones being the half Glasgow smile on the left side of his face. His personality is very angry and small-tempered, he enjoys fighting the most out of all the Heavenly Kings and has a self-professed hatred for anyone or anything acting "cocky". He is incredibly strong, having single handily caused all the scars on Match's body, killing dozens of prisoners in "Honey Prison" in the matter of minutes, and destroying many beasts with a capture level above 60, including the Magma Tortoise (CLV 70). Until recently, he was held in "Honey Prison" for eating 26 species of beasts to the point of extinction. When the news of Zebra being released from prison was leaked to the world, just that little bit of information was enough to throw the economies of the world into a wild fervor and economists speculated that the damage Zebra would cause to the world's food supply would result in "quadrillions of yens" worth of damage and would cause at least 10 developed nations to de-stabilize. However, he has also discovered as many ingredients as Toriko. Also, while the news of his release caused much panic throughout the world, it's also caused many nations that were once at war with each other to call off all violence, and work together in order to protect themselves from Zebra instead. This shows that his mere existence is a highly effective deterrent to war, causing many people who were suffering because of war to view him as their savior. In addition, all 26 of the species that he ate to extinction were ones that were causing large negative impacts on their surrounding environment. It is later revealed the person who captured Zebra and put him into "Honey Prison" is Teppei the Saiseiya, with the assistance of his teacher, Yosaku. He and the other Four Heavenly Kings were trained by Ichiryū, the president of the IGO. Zebra has the power to both hear and send out ultrasonic waves, as well as the ability to hear even the faintest sounds from tens of kilometers away.
- Hunting Method: Zebra hunts by using his mammoth body and strength, as well as his ability to create massive bursts of "sound", capable of breaking steel and killing animals with one hit. His voice can travel up to 70 kilometers. Zebra can store 4,500,000 kilocalories in his body.
- Sound Bullet: Zebra is capable of projecting his voice to an specific target at a far away location. The limits of this ability is currently unknown but they can currently reach as far as tens of kilometers, as well as travel through the walls of Honey Prison.
- Sound Bazooka: Zebra produces an extremely loud scream from his mouth that can shatter stone and metal and make animals go unconscious. He needs to "charge-up" before he can use this ability, however. Using "Sound Bazooka" burns 400,000 kilocalories.
- Thunder Noise: Zebra makes a loud shout into the air, where it echoes within itself, gaining power and volume, and then crashes back down on the ground, causing a wider-spread of damage. Using "Thunder Noise" burns 200,000 kilocalories.
- Meteor Noise: A powered-up version of "Thunder Noise". The time it takes to echo within itself and gain power before crashing back down is longer than it is with "Thunder Noise".
- Voice Missile: A single, powerful burst of Zebra's strong shout, this is strong enough to take down the Magma Tortoise, with a capture level of 70. This attack seems to create a resounding explosion with it. Using "Voice Missile" burns 350,000 kilocalories.
- Voice Cutter: Zebra lets out a loud yell, which is capable of cutting a object into several pieces. Using "Voice Cutter" burns 250,000 kilocalories.
- Roar Bullet: Used like the sound bullet, except along with sending his voice he also sends intimidation to frighten creatures away even from a great distance. However this technique will not work on a strong enough creature who is fearless and thus immune to intimidation.
- Sound Wall: Like the Roar Bullet Zebra can use his voice to form a shield to prevent frontal attacks. Using "Sound Wall" burns 50,000 kilocalories.
- Sound Armor: Zebra throws his voice around a person or object to prevent it from harm, like the Sound Wall. Using "Sound Armor" burns 100,000 kilocalories.
- Machine Gun Voice: Zebra fires multiple shots of his voice in rapid succession. Using "Machine Gun Voice" burns 100,000 kilocalories.
- Speed of Sound Multi-Hit Nail Punch: A combo attack done with Zebra, Zebra fires a "Voice Missile" that propels Toriko forward so he is moving at the speed of sound while he powers up a Nail Punch. Zebra then restricts the target's movement with three "Sound Walls" and Toriko hits the target with the Nail Punch, the force of which is intensified by the speed.
Gourmet Hunters
- Zonge (ゾンゲ)
- Voiced by: Tomoyuki Shimura (TV series)
- A very arrogant and annoying Gourmet Hunter who wields a large axe to hunt. He is very self-centered and boasts about his completed full course menu which is made of dishes that probably don't have a capture level of more than three, the only really dangerous dish being Garara Gator he had just killed (it was also a newborn making it nowhere near as strong or as tasty as the one Toriko fought). Despite all his boasting he is a very big coward using other as shields and making excuses when confront by a beast he can't take down.
Full Course Menu: Note that all the foods on Zonge’s list seem to be easy to find foods and are mostly fish or reptiles. Also all the ingredients except White Apple have been eaten by Toriko before even meeting him, although Toriko later ate White Apples after eating the Jewel Meat. A running gag is that people think his name is a zombie or a zombie movie. This mistake is so common that even his info box makes this mistake.

- Fish Dish: Stripe Salmon
- Meat Dish: Crab Pork

He is old and a heavy drinker; when introduced he asked Toriko for some sake. He is later seen in the cave that Toriko, Komatsu and Coco are in with a bucket full of unpoisoned puffer whales. He revives Komatsu (who was going into cardiac arrest) as a way to thank Toriko and him for the sake. As a Bishoku-ya, the chef he was paired with as a combo was the legendary chef and Gourmet Living Treasure Setsuno. Jirō is also the discoverer of the original Century Soup in Ice Hell. He is the grandfather of the famous Saiseya Teppei, who has also inherited his grandfather's Knocking talent. Seeing his grandfather's emotional reaction to seeing certain Gourmet ingredients depleted is also what inspired Teppei to become a Saiseya instead of a Bishoku-ya. He is one of the three disciples of the legendary Bishoku-ya, Acacia, along with Ichiryū, head of IGO, and the boss of the Bishoku-kai, of the three he is the only one that does not the head of an organization, as well as being the only one in retirement.

IGO
- Ichiryū
- The President of IGO, he has the appearance of an old man with dark skin and white hair, along with a long white mustache. Despite his old age, he is not yet retired, although seems to vacation frequently, spending time on a private island resort. Ichiryū used to be a very powerful Bishoku-ya and is one of the three disciples of the legendary Bishoku-ya, Acacia, along with Jirō and the boss of the Bishoku-kai. Even in his old age, he is powerful and can defeat Toriko effortlessly in a fight and perform inhuman actions, such as running on water. He appears to have strange mannerisms, like eating the cork of a bottle of liquor, and mistaking the names of dishes Toriko collects (except for the rainbow fruit when Toriko brought him a bottle of Rainbow Fruit Wine, an alcohol content of 85%). He trained all of the Four Heavenly Kings since their childhood.
- Shigematsu (茂松)
- The Vice-President of IGO, he is a very large, muscular man with a big, black beard and mustache and thick, black hair with a stripe of white hair down the middle. He keeps one eye closed at all times, as well as a nose plug over the bridge of his nose. When these are removed, which he does when preparing to fight Grinpatch, he appears beastlier and his muscles bulge and his clothes begin to tear. When Grinpatch comes to the First Biotope, he is disappointed that Stājyun or Tommyrod had not come, showing not only his delight in fighting, but also his knowledge of the Bishoku-kai.
- Mansam (マンサム, Mansamu)
- IGO's Development Bureau Director and Gourmet Research Facility Chief, he holds IGO's third position, with authority below the CEO and President. He is an old friend of Toriko's and has the same body type. He runs IGO's Garden One, a facility where 30% of the world's gourmet foods are made. It also clones long extinct animals and performs selective breeding. He has an incredibly high pain tolerance, able to live through being stabbed in the gut and a hole blown through his throat, and he heals himself by drinking alcohol. He appears to be able to use the same muscle enhancing abilities that Jirō the Knocking master uses. When someone says his name he thinks they are calling him handsome; this is a pun as his name sounds similar to the English word "handsome." He seems to be always drunk or just in a really happy state most of the time, only when someone mentions a job that needs doing or when he is gets angry does he change to a more serious manner.
- Techniques:
- Intimidation: The same as Toriko's and Coco's except Mansam projects the image of an Ashura, with eight arms instead of the six arms.
- Fry Panch: It is a pun on the Japanese "pan" and "punch" being pronounced similarly. The technique is similar to Toriko's Fork and Knife except this is a punch, and the arm is shaped like a frying pan.

Bishoku-kai (literally: Beautiful Food Organization), a rival organization to the IGO, their headquarters are Castle Shokuyokubō (Appetite's Desire) located in the Forest of Sorrow, "Thorn Wood."
- "The Boss"
- The leader of the Bishoku-kai who has so far only been shown as a silhouette with very long, dark hair. He is extremely powerful and has an insatiable appetite, which Kuromado and Alfaro both comment on. He is extremely powerful, as he resides in the Gourmet World, and after drinking the legendary Century Soup, Alfaro notices that the increase in his Gourmet Cells is comparably small to the rest of his body. As further testament to his power, he is the only person who does not smile when drinking the Century Soup. His goal, and therefore the main goal of the Bishoku-kai, is to obtain the ingredient GOD and control all of the world's ingredients. He is one of the three disciples of the great Bishoku-ya Acacia, along with Jirō and Ichiryū.
- Kuromado (クロマド)
- The Head Chef of the Bishoku-kai, he has black eyes with white pupils, a thin yet long mustache, and he wears a black chef's uniform with a very tall, black chef's hat. He is one of the few Bishoku-kai members that Alfaro says are capable of entering the Gourmet World.
- Alfaro
- The waiter (Garcon) of the Bishoku-kai and Kuromado's personal aide. He has a very large nose and eight arms, giving him the appearance of a spider. He also has been seen to resist the intense cold of Ice Hell while wearing just a tuxedo and cape. Alfaro is a very intelligent fighter knowing that a fight with Setsuno would result in them losing the Century Soup; this is indicated by Setsuno's ability to shatter Alfaro's plates with a glance. His attacks are all based on the plates he keeps hidden in his tuxedo, he is able to throw them fast enough to cut both the Parasite Emperor and Hellsboros (each with capture levels of 81 and 72 respectively) literally to pieces. He is one of the few Bishoku-kai members capable of entering the Gourmet World, shown when he brought the Boss his soup inside the Gourmet World.
- Plate Shuriken: Alfaro throws several plates at a target at high enough speed and with enough force to cut through multiple targets at once.
- Limon
- The sommelier of the Bishoku-kai, who has yet to be shown. He is one of the few Bishoku-kai members that Alfaro says are capable of entering the Gourmet World.
- Stājyun (スタージュン, Sutājun)
- Voiced by: Shinichirō Miki (TV series)
- Vice Head Chef of the Bishoku-kai, has a currently unexplained ability to roast things by {possibly moving his hand on something it heated up by friction though it is not verified if this is in fact how he actually does it}. His name is sometimes pronounced Star-Jun, he is not one to mince words and will admit his mistakes, and e.g. he operates the GT Robo that Toriko defeats in the Regal Mammoth. He appears to be noble, or at least respectful to those he considers strong, since in his fight with Toriko he set the GT Robo's pain sensors to 100% to test and feel Toriko's maximum power. Later he claims that it would be difficult to not test Toriko. He has a habit of scratching his head with one finger. He is one of the few Bishoku-kai members that Alfaro says are capable of entering the Gourmet World.
- Intimidation: Like Toriko's or Mansam's intimidations, except Stājyun projects a one-eyed demon.
- Barbecuing: Stājyun appears to have the ability of barbecuing animals by simply touching them.
- Grinpatch (グリンパーチ, Gurinpāchi)
- Vice Head Chef of the Bishoku-kai. He can suck up large amounts of food with his giant straw and has an extra pair of arms. He has the same eyes as Kuromado and Yū except he has three pupils in each eye instead of just one. For transportation and food collection, he has a pet Jack Elephant (CLVL 85), which is large and strong enough to cut down an entire ear of BB Corn and carry it. He seems to be very lazy as he does not fulfill his mission of retrieving the GT Robos because he does not feel like fighting the Gourmet Association's second and third. Another example of his laziness is that he does not finish the full names of places and things, calling the Regal Plateau the "Regal-whatever" and the Devil's Athletics the "Athletics-looking place." He agrees with Stājyun that it is hard to not test Toriko's strength. He is one of the few Bishoku-kai members that Alfaro says are capable of entering the Gourmet World.
- Breath: Grinpatch's lung capacity is inhuman, as shown during his brief fight with Toriko, as he can use his breath like a gun or bazooka when combined with his straw. After their brief battle, Toriko realizes that he was just playing around the entire time.
- Devil Mosquito Straw: A straw made from the mouth of a "Devil Mosquito"; it is very resistant that Toriko could not cut it with his normal Knife. Grinpatch uses it mainly for sucking food. With his lung capacity, he also uses it to fire air bullet that could easily damage Toriko.
- Breath Gun: A technique combining Grinpatch's impressive Breath with the use of his Straw, he shoots fast bullets of air that are strong enough to tear through Toriko's flesh. It is considered his low-power attack.
- Breath Bazooka: A technique combining Grinpatch's impressive Breath with the use of his Straw, he shoots a massive cyclone of air that can tear through rock. This technique, although much stronger than the Breath Gun, takes time for Grinpatch to take prepare and his vision is obscured while using it. It is considered his high-power attack.
- Tommyrod (トミーロッド, Tomīroddo)
- Vice Head Chef of the Bishoku-kai. Having a bug-like appearance, complete with wings, Tommy raises "parasite bugs" inside his body and can spew them out at will. His lack of emotion allows him to fight at complete efficiency, focusing solely on the goal at hand. It is also revealed that his armbands allow him to limit his strength. He is the first Bishoku-kai to seriously fight Toriko head-to-head (without using a GT Robo) with the intent to kill him. He is one of the few Bishoku-kai members that Alfaro says are capable of entering the Gourmet World.
- Intimidation: Like Toriko and Mansam, except Tommyrod's is a projection of a demonic octopus-like being with a vein-filled, pulsing head.
- Insect Production: Tommy's main ability is to produce a number of parasitic bugs from his body. He has approximately 10,000 parasitic eggs in his body, though it requires him to expend 1,500 kilo calories to hatch one egg in his esophagus before sending them out, because of this he cannot produce more than 1,000 insects per setting. The bugs' capture levels range from very weak to some in the 40s, with 44 being the highest seen, aside from the Parasite Emperor.
- Exploding Insects [Insect beast] Capture Level 10 and Detonator Insect Capture Level 25: Tommy produces several small cylinder-shaped insects to latch onto an opponent, then he produces a much larger insect which, when killed, will detonate all the smaller insects in a very large explosion.
- Jongal Stag Beetle [Insect beast] Capture Level 38: Stag beetles with the size of a human hand. They are strife and their jaws can easily bite through human bones and flesh. A large gathering gave Toriko’s group a lot of trouble with none of them managing to harm the insects due to their fast reactions and their tough shells.
- Parasite Emperor: A "devil that will eat anything without discrimination," the Parasite Emperor is a hybrid insect beast with a capture level of 81; it is created through cross-breeding numerous ferocious insect species. To be born it requires in essence all of Tommyrod's bodily energy, a testament to its power. Tommyrod also comments that he uses most of his energy to restrain this creature from being born. The beast's breath is below freezing; it can also release high temperature gas for flame-based attacks as well as excrete scorpion poisons and a spider web.
- Fangs: Tommyrod can grow fangs which are very sharp; normally he keeps them retracted to allow his insects to be born out of his mouth.
- Super Heated Breath: It is revealed that Tommy can heat his breath to very high temperatures and fire them off like bullets which explode when they hit the enemy though he normally uses this power to cause the eggs in his throat to hatch.
- Full Power Form: When removing the set of rings he keeps around his arms and waste Tommy's muscles and body grow to nearly double his own size.
- Wings: Tommyrod's insect wings are capable of flight and are extremely durable.
- Elg (エルグ, Erugu)
- The First Branch Chef. He is one of the few Bishoku-kai members that Alfaro says are capable of entering the Gourmet World.
- Yū (ユー)
- The Second Branch Chef, he has the same kind of eyes as Kuromado, dresses in renaissance-like clothes, and is somewhat of a blond pretty boy. He appears to be the politest of the Chefs. He is the only member of the Bishoku-kai to be able to pilot the "Micro-Model" GT Robo, for unknown reasons. With this GT Robo, he attacks and incapacitates Komatsu and is able to take the last bits of Century Soup that he collected away.
- Jerry Boy (ジェリーボーイ, Jerībōi)
- The Third Branch Chef, a tan blond man who greatly resembles Toriko in appearance and clothes, save for his fanged teeth and his veins that show from his nose to his forehead as well as extended earlobes with multiple piercings.
- Barry Gamon (バリーガモン, Barīgamon)
- The Fourth Branch Chef, a stocky, bearded man with protruding tusks. He wears very little clothing, even in frigid conditions, and displays incredible resilience to these temperatures. The Fourth Branch is the cookware supply team for the Bishoku-kai, which explains Barry's unique armor: made from the shell of the Crush Turtle, a level 60 beast. This shell is several times superior to steel, and is also used by master craftsmen to manufacture the best pans and utensils in the gourmet world. He also produces naturally occurring antifreeze, allowing him to survive arctic conditions and use the same slick to deflect gunfire. It is shown he also has very effective healing abilities, after being cut several times by Match his organs are able to paste themselves back together until he is fully healed.
- Bogie Woods (ボギーウッズ, Bogīwazzu)
- The Fifth Branch Chef, he wears a jogging suit, sport shades, and some kind of shell with a mask made from the body of an IGO agent that he used his ability on. He has approximately 4,000 bones and 4,600 joints, which he can easily detach and manipulate to allow him complete mobility and flexibility. He uses this quirk for his Lodge, a technique which allows him to inhabit another creature, assuming its form. Even if his bones are broken and removed, he can manipulate the rest of his unnatural capacity to compensate, barring the sacrum. However, even if the sacrum would happen to be removed or dislocated, his body will adjust in time and repair the nervous system, this process takes time but will be fully healed afterwards.
- Sedoru (セドル)
- The Sixth Branch Chef, the operator of the GT Robo that Sani defeats. He uses the skulls of animals as shoulder pads and has some kind of interest with eyeballs since he wears a necklace of them, which he collects from the animals he kills and throws them away when they rot and stop moving.
- Bei (ベイ)
- The man responsible for the GT Robo attacks. Mansam seems to know him. A member of the Bishoku-kai, Stājyun claims he has bad taste. He looks like a sort of goblin, and is a major glutton.
- Joejoe (ジョージョー, Jōjō)
- Voiced by: Bin Shimada (TV series)
- An old man in a black robe who works for the Bishoku-kai and monitors the GT Robos for them. He also appears to be the one who made Grinpatch's Straw. His mouth is stitched closed.
Saiseiya
The Saiseiya are a gourmet police, given the power of judgment to arrest anyone dealing with illegal gourmet products, in both procurement and black market trading. Their powers also extend to those who break the law by over-fishing and poaching certain species.
- Yosaku
- An expert Saiseiya and Teppei's master. He is nicknamed "Blood-stained Yosaku" due to his seemingly brutal methods of healing. He wears a blood-soaked doctor's coat (befitting to his nickname), a black bandanna worn over his hair and is always seen smoking a cigar branch. He hates following rules of any kind, be it simple rules such as to not smoke in a restaurant or go against rules of life itself. He has been described as a very strong person able to take down one of the Four Heavenly Kings, with Teppei's assistance (though Teppei notes that Yosaku had fully restrained him), a testament to his power. Despite his rough appearance he is a master in healing, proven when he completely heals three of Match's subordinates (all of whom were in critical conditions) in a matter of minutes, he also has in his possession medicine that can cure any disease in the Human World. He has also stated that he could completely heal Toriko's missing arm, though the process would take twenty years to complete. He has been to the Gourmet World and knows the location of the dessert Sani is looking for, EARTH. He appears to be fighting and training Sani to see if he has the level of power needed to enter the Gourmet World.
Techniques:
- Kidzuke Shock: Yosaku brutally presses at all the body's pressure points, waking the target. This can wake people from comatose states in an instant.
- Paste Spittle: Yosaku's saliva works as a strong bonding agent and he uses it to seal wounds. He uses this on a Gourmet Yakuza whose arm is nearly ripped off and states that in will heal within ten minutes.
- Teppei (鉄平)
- A top level Saiseiya, Teppei is a considered an expert Knocker, able to deal with numerous hybrid insects birthed by Tommyrod as well as the Bishoku-kai Vice Chef himself. Teppei has been under the tutelage of the "Knocking Master" Jirō (his relative), the fruits of which are shown through his adept Knocking ability as well as his pompadour. Teppei also carries with him supplies such as Forest Seeds and liquids capable of instantly growing these sturdy plants.
- Knocking: Teppei is able to perform very precise Knocking using his bare hands. His mastery of Knocking allows him to paralyze even rare insects. His Knocking as a form of combat appears to have various levels of intensity. In his fight against Tommyrod, he uses "Medium" Knocking, and as a finishing move, "Well Done" Knocking. The levels of Knocking appear to be named after ways of cooking meat.
Gourmet Yakuza
An organization much hated by the constitutional countries, seemingly made up completely of orphans and slum dogs from the crime slum Nerg, a non-IGO affiliated city. 10% of the prisoners in Gourmet Prison come from this city, giving it the nickname "Criminal-Producing Factory." The Yakuza, seemingly altruistic, are told by the Boss upon joining to repay their debt not to him, but to the "hungry children of the slums."
- Ryu
- The boss of the Gourmet Yakuza, not much is known about him other than he is a good friend of Yosaku and that he has never been arrested.
- Match (マッチ, Matchi)
- Vice Chief of the Gourmet Yakuza, he is completely covered in scars received at the hands of Zebra of the Four Heavenly Kings. He wields a single sword and is adept in the art of Iai, unsheathing, striking and sheathing the sword in a single movement. His ability allows his strength to be proportionate to his exhaustion, so the more tired he is, the more powerful he becomes. The sword he uses is made from a fang of the king of aquatic dragons, the Leodragon. This beast hunts and is capable of crushing the shell of a Crush Turtle with its jaws. Match takes advantage of this fact to cut through Barry Gamon's armor made of the same shell.
Gourmet Knights
The Gourmet Knights follow "gourmet doctrine": to entrust one's life completely to nature. This means shunning man-made medicines, putting Takimaru at odds despite his affiliation.
- Aimaru (愛丸)
- Leader of the Gourmet Knights, nothing more is known except that he is afflicted with an illness that he gained from Takimaru when he tries to cure him of a disease from the Gourmet World. He is capable of eating bacteria and viruses, which enables him to devour diseases. He is one of Toriko's old friends and they have a friendly rivalry to see who can obtain GOD first.
- Takimaru (滝丸)
- A new member highly skilled in martial arts, he joins Toriko's party as they enter the Ice Hell in search of Century Soup, as he needs money to buy medicine for Aimaru. He faces off against Bogey Woods and manages to discover his weakness about his sacrum, proving his intelligence, as well as momentarily defeating him albeit becoming gravely injured. He once suffers a disease from the Gourmet World, which are referred to as curses because known science has no cure for them. Aimaru consumes the disease and leaves only one of his eyes infected, at great personal expense. He is later rescued by Teppei and healed completely by Yosaku. He also receives the medicine which can cure any disease in the human world from Yosaku.
Techniques:
- Pre-Shot Routines: His attacks are all based around a type of martial arts involving his Pre-Shot Routines, were he focuses his energy in a specific stance. This makes his attacks take longer to hit and leaves him vulnerable to attacks; however, once he completes the routine his attacks have perfect accuracy and high destructive power.
- Sennuki Shot: An attack that requires intense concentration, hence the need for the Pre-Shot Routines, Takimaru grabs the opponent and twists deeply into their body to dislocate one of their bones, usually a spinal vertebrae, and usually causes paralysis or death. The attack means "Corkscrew Shot," and because Takimaru twists his hands into his opponent and then "pops out" their vertebrae, it is similar to a corkscrew un-corking a bottle.
- Sennuki Shot: Ōgi Cork Screw: A more intense version of the Sennuki Shot that requires Takimaru's best Pre-Shot Routine to prepare. This attack physically tears out the bone that Takimaru targets. "Ōgi" is Japanese for "Secret Technique."
- Sennuki Press: A move that does not require a Pre-Shot Routine, Takimaru raises and turns one of his legs sideways and then presses an opponent between his raised knee and his two elbows.
Other characters

- Setsuno (節乃)
- Voiced by: Kei Hayami (VOMIC)
- A Gourmet Living National Treasure, Setsuno is Jirō's long-time partner, and has the same Full-Course Meal as him. She has the skill and capability of easily doing the work of eight top-level chefs. Setsuno attempts to recreate the legendary Century Soup Jirō gave to her at some point; however, it is incomplete and she requests Toriko and Komatsu to find the missing ingredient after being impressed by their relationship and strong knowledge and respect of the gourmet ingredients. Although an old woman, she still has incredible power, breaking all of Alfaro's Plate Shuriken from far away without seeming to move, and is one of the few people brave enough to call the Bishoku-kai boss an "idiot." However, she has still lost some of her power since her early days, losing some of her ability to let her Gourmet Cells "adapt." This is characterized by her having "White Breath" in Ice Hell, meaning her Cells did not adapt to the cold environment and warm her body accordingly. Melk the First said that the knife of Setsuno is one of the few knives he got a shock from after seeing.
- Zaus
- The "King of Cooking", a yet-unseen world-famous chef. Little else is known about him. Melk the First said that the knife of Zaus is one of the few knives he got a shock from after seeing.
- Melk the First
- A master craftsman, responsible for the high-quality "Melk Knives". He is reportedly very strong, testing his knives on wild animals and living at the top of a large mountain, the steps to which he carved out himself. He was the one to discover the grindstone, the "Melk Stardust", which when used to sharpen knives, produces the Golden Powder, a seasoning of unknown savoriness, and he has been searching for it for six years. He is currently been shown to be living on the lowest level of the "Heavy Hole", as well tame the master of the area the Sasori Magyuu, with a capture level of 53, to the point where it is visibly frightened of just being close to Melk. He can only communicate in ultrasonic waves, it was because of this that Toriko could not understand anything he was saying when they first met, only through the use of a special stone was his voice able to become audible.
- Melk the Second
- A Gourmet craftsman, she is the disciple and adopted daughter of the top knife maker and knife sharpener in the world, Melk the First.She is a slender young-looking woman, and was confused to be a man when first meeting Toriko and Komatsu. She also told them that she was the original Melk, but Toriko figured out that this is not the real Melk due to the age difference and the fact that she would not be able to defeat a high level beast to get materials for the knives. She originally had little confidence about her abilities in sharpening, despite being noted as a prodigy by Melk the first. After Komatsu proved to her how good her knives were however, she became confident in her abilities and combined Komatsu's old, broken knife with the legendary Darous fang. She appeared flustered when she saw Komatsu in his underwear, and when he saw her naked, possibly hinting towards a crush on Komatsu.
Techniques:
- Scale Cut (Uroko Giri): A move used by Melk with her knives, it was first used on a Scale Kong to remove most of its scales from a few meters away.
- Grindstone Boots: Melk's boots act as grindstones, so if her knives get damaged in battle, she can quickly re-sharpen them so she can continue to fight.
