Komatsu

Komatsu is a master chef at the Hotel Gourmet, which is part of the IGO. 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. He is the only chef in the world who knows the complete recipe of the Century Soup. He keeps a baby 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 in situations in which he might very well be killed. It is also revealed that despite his looks, he and Toriko are of the same age. He is also one of the few people who is able to get along amicably with all four Heavenly Kings. After gaining global recognition for finding a simple method to prepare Yuda's "Medical Cooking Mochi," Komatsu was put into the list of top 100 chefs in the world, ranked at 88.
  • 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.
  • Food Luck: Apparently Komatsu has the ability to listen to the 'voice' of ingredients, thereby determining their whereabouts and how to prepare them. His Food Luck is so high that he is able to sense extremely hard to find, high-level ingredients instinctively.

    Organizations and Groups

Four Heavenly Kings

Coco

Coco "The Gentleman" of the "Four Heavenly Kings," is good friends with Toriko. He earns most of his living by working as a fortune-teller, which also makes him extremely popular with women. While Toriko mostly relies on his brute strength, Coco prefers using stealth techniques and strategy to subdue aggressors. He has exceptional vision, where he can see in the dark and can read electromagnetic auras in order to predict a beast's next action. His specialty is poison: he has developed immunity to over 500 different kinds, and with newer poisons, generates antibodies to counter them. He attacks by converting his body fluids into poison and shooting them like projectiles with various dosages.

Sunny

; Sunny
Hunting Method: Sunny 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, Sunny uses a form of intimidation to scare an enemy into surrender. However, because of his love of beauty Sunny 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.

    Zebra

; Zebra
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.

Gourmet Hunters

; Zongeh
; Jiro
Jiro is the grandfather of the Saiseya Teppei, who has also inherited his Knocking talent. 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. When Jirō was younger, he had a wild, dangerous personality and had part of his power sealed by Acacia so that he could be taught Knocking and other techniques. In addition to his various Knocking tools, Jirō also has a handheld gauntlet with various spikes coming out of it that he only uses in incredibly serious battles, known as the "Fangs of the Wolf King".
Hunting Method: Jirō uses his mastery of Knocking to paralyze and defeat wild beasts, but can also use Knocking to revive and alter organic tissue. He also has a good amount of physical strength, having a hand chop that feels like an axe chop to Toriko, and is able to freely survive in the Gourmet World, although he has to stop drinking when he enters so he has more focus.
  • Intimidation Knocking: Jirō uses Knocking to enlarge his muscles and other tissue to appear like a giant, and then uses "Intimidation" to paralyze beasts and humans alike, like he would with a Knocking gun.
  • Knocking Rifle Hard Type: Using a long range, high-difficulty Knocking rifle, Jirō fires at wild beasts and paralyzes them through Knocking. Despite his rifle being described as having a high difficulty, he is proficient enough to fire on hundreds of beasts and paralyze each in one shot.
  • Rising Wolf - Guinness Punch: Using his "Fangs of the Wolf King," Jirō punches upward and sends out a large attack in the shape of a wolf upward toward the opponent or target. Jirō claims the attack can reach all the way up into space.
  • Grand Knocking: Jirō delivers a strong punch the ground and halts the movement of not only all living things on the planet temporarily and slows down very rotation of the planet itself. In the aftermath of this technique, the planet is rocked by massive natural disasters as a result of the Earth's rotation stopping.

    IGO

; Ichiryū
  • Chopsticks: Like Toriko's "Fork and Knife" and Chin Chinchin's "Spoon," Ichiryuu uses a utensil-like weapon in order to fight. Unlike those two, however, instead of forming his hand in the shape of "chopsticks," he holds his hand as if he was holding chopsticks " and materialize "chopsticks" out of Appetite Energy. He can produce chopsticks of varying sizes, but they are strong enough to stop powerful Gourmet World beasts and even Midora, the head of the Bishoku-kai.
  • Minority World: Taking Ichiryuu's control over his "minority atoms" to the extreme, he gives all of the stray "minority atoms" in the area around him power, fundamentally changing the physical properties around him. Solids turn soft, air becomes thick, and most importantly, the atoms inside his opponent's body can stop function as they should. This means that nerve signals are not sent effectively and eventually, organs begin to shut down.
; Shigematsu
; Mansam
  • 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.
  • Fry Pan Sandwich: Fry Panch using both hands slams in from opposite sides, hence the "sandwich".
  • Wanted Punch: Used when Mansam is in his fully released "Knocked" form, this is a powerful downward punch that has the strength to burst apart even a large, reinforced GT Robo.
; Rin
  • Battle Fragrance: Derived from the Battle Flower on an island where battle never ends, the flower affects the animal's central nervous system making them violent while at the same time stimulating the body into its peak form, because of this it is also called the "doping flower".
  • Super Relaxing Fragrance: Created from the pheromones of the Nikoniko Manatee, it relaxes nervous female manatee during mating season. The pheromone has been adapted by humans and is used in animal therapy.
  • Endorphin Smoke: A smoke laced with a high endorphin, use is restricted by law.
  • Thunder Peppermint: Rin's strongest scented fragrance, it is concentrated menthol taken from dried peppermint leaves; the scent is compared to that of lightning. One sniff is enough to keep one awake for five days.
  • Devil Durian Fragrance: The fragrance exploits the extract of the "Devil Durian". Its stench is powerful enough to repel bugs to up to half a kilometer radius.
