His Intimidation takes the form of a long-haired, thin wraith.



Sunny's hair isn't just for show- he's trained his locks to be an incredibly sensitive organ that can do anything from helping him lift huge weights to allowing him to sense multiple things about the locations he's in.

Easily the meanest and deadliest of the Four Kings, Zebra is a prisoner from Honey Prison, the deadliest prison on the planet. He was put in there for eating 26 entire species into extinction, and has awful table manners and an even worse attitude. Yet, underneath it all, is a guy who isn't all ''that'' bad, and fittingly, is more bar then bite.
Zebra's strength is his incredible voice and hearing, as Zebra is able to project his voice out like a physical force and use it as a weapon. This has a ton of uses, from acting as a shield to being able to scan the area around him.

can be quite kindhearted to those around him. He has a strange hatred for "cocky" people, but like how Sunny can see different kinds of beauty as being valid, Zebra can see many different things as being cocky. This includes ''nature itself.''

Our hero- a blue haired, muscle bound Gourmet Hunter who travels all over the world to capture exotic ingredients for the ever-hungry people of the Gourmet Age. He, along with the other Four Kings, were adopted by Ichiryu and trained into becoming incredibly strong Gourmet Hunters. While he's a bit rough on the outside, Toriko is a kindhearted and righteous individual.
His main ability is manipulating the shape of his hands into different shapes to strike in different ways. His SignatureMove is the Knife and Fork blows, where Toriko slices and stabs with his hands respectively. His Intimidation takes the form of a massive red {{Oni}}.


Added DiffLines:

Toriko's travelling companion and an accomplished Five-Star Chef. In Toriko's world, that's not as high as it goes (with the max being Ten-Star chefs) but his cooking skills are nothing to sneeze at. Skittish and nowhere near as strong as Toriko or the Four Kings, Komatsu nontheless proves vital to Toriko's adventure- after all, what's the use of getting good ingredients if there's no-one around to cook them?


Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: Komatsu is a lot braver than he looks or sounds, even early on in the series. In the Regal Mammoth arc, he takes Starjun's Intimidation at point-blank range and doesn't even ''flinch'', which impresses Starjun enough for him to hesitate taking Komatsu out.

Toriko's adopted siblings, and three of the most legendary Gourmet Hunters in the world.

Toriko's third brother, and one hell of a flamboyant guy. Sunny is obsessed with beauty and grace, and will refuse to associate with anything ugly. Despite that, his standards of beauty are quite lax, as he can find anything from a well-prepared meal to a person's passion to their work "beautiful". In addition, while he is vain, Sunny has a strong heart and will always do the right thing.

* BigEater: Notable for the fact that he's ''[[AvertedTrope not]]''. While he's perfectly capable of eating massive quantities of food (doing so to awaken his Gourmet Cells in preparation to battle Midora), when left to his own devices he prefers to eat tiny (even by the standards of real life) portions of completely plain foods such as a small bowlful of beans. [[spoiler: His appetite demon, Don Slime, felt no end of frustration at this and constantly urged Ichiryuu to stuff himself with the most extravagant gourmet foods]]. It's telling that, in a world where how strong you are depends on how much delicious food you can eat, he's still one of the most powerful beings in all the world despite barely eating anything.

* GameBreakingInjury: [[spoiler: He loses an arm fighting Tommyrod, but thanks to a process fueled by BodyHorror, he's able to get it back.]]
* GameFace: When he's really psyched, his face contracts into a devilish grin, and a Hannya-like [[LetsGetDangerous intimidation starts.]]
* HealingFactor: After mastering Food Honor and Immersion, Toriko gains a high degree of regeneration. [[spoiler: To the point where he can regenerate his arm and leg that were cut off by Starjun and repair his broken leg in minutes.]]
* TheHero: One of ''Magazine/ShonenJump'''s smarter and older protagonists.
* HeroesFightBarehanded: Toriko fights with his bare hands, although he can also manifest a [[ItMakesSenseInContext knife and fork]] to attack stronger enemies with.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:When Komatsu is kidnapped by Starjun, he becomes sullen and loses the will to eat.]]
* {{Hunk}}: As a throwback to older Shonen heroes.
* IdiotHero: Averted. He's rather intelligent, using cunning and trickery in battle as well as being MrExposition
* ImageSong: "Fight And Eat!!"
* LargeHam: Well, he eats everything else, why not [[ChewingTheScenery the terrain as well]]?
* ManBitesMan: [[spoiler:Toriko bites and eats a chunk of flesh from Acacia. [[YouTasteDelicious Not only does he states that NEO tastes delicious, he even goes as far to say that he will make it his meat course.]]]]
* MegatonPunch[=/=]RapidFireFisticuffs: His [[SignatureMove Nail Punch]] combines these two. Its power/how many times it hits depends on how much he charges. He can also use both fists at once for double the hits.
** Also his Nail Gun, which is just the former trope, being a punch with the combined force of multiple consecutive punches.
* MrExposition: A rare main lead in {{Shonen}} example. He often relates how the biology of animals work and the economy of the Gourmet World in general.
* MuggingTheMonster: When he came to Jidar, some gangsters with guns tried to mug him. That is, '''[[TooDumbToLive they tried to use pistols to threaten a guy who can curbstomp monsters you can't scratch with a tank.]]''' Justifiable in that Jidar was not part of IGO, meaning they didn't know that he was a world-famous Gourmet Hunter.
* NiceGuy: Despite his profession and his gluttony, he is a kind man.
* TheNoseKnows: In fact it can gauge power levels and the ingredients used in recipes through the oils of the skin.
* OfficialCouple: He eventually gets together with [[spoiler:Rin]].
* OnlyOneName: He is only referred to by his first name, Toriko.
* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: During the Bubble Fruit Arc [[spoiler: when Toriko finally masters Honoring the Food, he eats an incredible amount of Bubble Fruits to give him a power boost. In the process the nutrients from the fruit make his hair grow really long.]]
** [[spoiler:This is implied in the Gourmet World; Toriko has slightly longer hair and some stubble and mentions that it tends to grow much quicker than normal when he's there.]]
* RatedMForManly: Of course!
* RedOniBlueOni: [[spoiler:Has a blue demon inside of him along with the red demon he usually projects. {{Inverted}} in that the blue one is apparently bad enough for even the red demon to be afraid of.]]
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: His inner demon is this.
** [[spoiler:[[UpToEleven Super Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Has a ''second'' demon inside of him stronger than the first. [[HolyShitQuotient Wow.]]]]
** [[spoiler:Recent events hint at the existence of a third demon]]
** [[spoiler: This is now confirmed, with Blue stating that Toriko's body couldn't handle the third demon's emergence for even a second.]]
** [[spoiler: His body has finally gotten to the point where he can let it out. For a few seconds after eating one of his appetite demons.]]
* SeparatedAtBirth: [[spoiler:Starjun and Toriko are actually '''TWINS'''.]]
* SwordBeam: Kinda, he learns how to use techniques similar to this trope, although they're more like "Flying" forks and knives. He can also use "[[BeamSpam rapid-fire types]]" as well. [[spoiler:He speculates that they may be composed of "Appetite Energy".]] [[spoiler:Later on, he can combine them with his sense of smell to turn them into {{Homing Projectile}}s that track the targets' scent.]]
* ThouShallNotKill: While he will kill, Toriko believes in only killing when he wants to eat. This separates him from some other Gourmet Hunters. Though he did try to kill Tommyrod, though no one can blame him, considering what a monster Tommyrod is.
* TookALevelInBadass: To give a quick example, Toriko could only do a 5 Fold Spiked Punch a couple of times before getting exhausted. Later on, he can do a 50 Fold with ease and surpasses this many times over even later on in the series.
** [[spoiler:Also, the Breath Dragon that gave him trouble when he first entered the Gourmet World, he dispatched with a single Flying Fork the second time they met.]]
** [[spoiler: Even more badass after Timeskip. He's not intimidated at all by beasts with capture levels of ''770'', is the only Heavenly King who could find Ichiryuu's Main Course by just ''smelling'' the trail Ichiryuu made long ago. Even Coco exclaims that he can't see that far into the past with his electromagnetic waves.]]
** [[spoiler: After being force fed GOD and CENTER by the goumet spirits along with his with appetite demon willingly feed itself to him, Toriko was able to make Acacia take a trip around '''a planet bigger than Neptune''' with just a single punch.]]
%%*TookALevelInKindness:
* UnstoppableRage: During one of the earliest arcs, after [[spoiler: the mother Battle Wolf is shot]], Toriko loses it.
* VictoryThroughIntimidation: [[spoiler: When Toriko uses "Conduct of the King: Ultimate Routine" on the Soy Milk Roads, he scares them unconscious due to the illusion of his red oni feasting on the monsters. Toriko even states that creatures below 600 are no longer a threat because of this technique.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: [[spoiler: It was actually black when he was an infant, but turned blue [[{{Foreshadowing}} for some unknown reason.]] [[SarcasmMode Probably not anything important.]] His hair turns black again after his Blue Appetite Devil temporarily leaves his body to fight the Horse King.]]

-----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: [[spoiler: The Derous Knife he gets from Melk II. It's sharp enough to make a giant gash in a mountain from simply ''swinging it''.]]
%%* ActionDuo: With Toriko.
* ActionSurvivor: He survived having his eardrums being burst, and it gets crazier from there.
* AscendedFanboy: Spends a lot of time fanboying over the more well-known chefs in the story that he idolizes, and it hasn't quite sunk in to him yet that he himself is now a famous chef with plenty of his own fanboys. [[spoiler:This is especially true after the Four Beasts arc, when he becomes one of the Top 100 chefs in the world.]] During the [[spoiler:Cooking Festival]] he spends quite a bit of time trying to get autographs from other competing chefs.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Komatsu and Toriko, though this dynamic also extends to ''anyone'' on Toriko's party, since Komatsu is a pretty tiny guy in general.
* ButtMonkey: Early on, he was often at the receiving end of many darkly humorous punishments, including [[spoiler: dying from a heart attack thanks to Toriko Crackers]].
* TheChick: Easily the most emotional and TheHeart of the group, despite being a male example of this trope.
* CowardlyLion: He is a very meek man, but he begins to overcome his fear through his adventures with Toriko.
* {{Gonk}}: Initially had an exaggerated flat nose but [[ProgressivelyPrettier he has gotten cuter]] [[spoiler: Particularly since the Meteor Spice incident and the timeskip of years in the Gourmet World; he now has more defined boyish features and looks ''EXTREMELY'' handsome.]]
* GameFace: Komatsu himself doesn't have one [[spoiler: until the Gourmet World arc]], but [[spoiler: ''his Derous Knife does''. When he draws the knife to defend himself, the beast attacking him perceives the Derous Dragon's presence and ''flees''.]]
** [[spoiler: Said "real" game face is a near exact replica of how Froese looks when invoking ''God Cooking''.]]
* HealingShiv: [[spoiler:His Derous knife turns out to have the properties of a Revival Knife, due to Derous' having extraordinary regenerative powers. This basically makes him TheMedic.]]
* ImageSong: "Let's Cooking!", also used as a leitmotif for the "Gourmet Fortune" segment.
* KnifeNut: Well, he ''is'' a chef.
* MoralityPet[=/=][[MoralityChain Chain]]: To Zebra.
* NiceGuy: He bares no ill will to anyone without reason and his kind heart is what attracts food to him.
* TheNotLoveInterest: He's effectively Toriko's most important person and support throughout the whole series, and his Chef-Hunter partnership with him is framed similarly to a marriage, especially with how Toriko [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything prepares to ask him]]. But their relationship is nothing more than a pair of incredibly close and devoted friends.
* OhCrap: Has often this reaction to many scary/powerful beasts or fighters. One of the best examples could be chapter 217, [[spoiler: after realizing that he's alone in a very dark tent with ''Starjun'']].
* OddFriendship: With both Zebra [[spoiler: and Brunch]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: The guy is 25. Really. Lampshaded in the chapter where he and Toriko go to Drunken Frenzy Island where Toriko asks him whether he was old enough to drink alcohol much to Komatsu's chagrin.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: He has noticeably become less {{Gonk}}y as of recent chapters. In fact, the last time his face reverts back to its old state, he's [[InelegantBlubbering crying]] over all of the memories that he's made while adventuring with Toriko.
** After eating the Billion Bird's egg, he takes this to the extreme, as he looks like pre-timeskip Rin.
* ShipTease: With [[spoiler: Melk II]].
* SupremeChef: He's able to cook extravagant foods, than he [[TookALevelInBadass learns Food Honor]] and becomes able to cook difficult foods more easily, enough to compete with top ranking chefs.
* TookALevelInBadass: He's gone from being scared out of his mind by Level 5 to 9 creatures, to confronting [[TheDreaded ZEBRA]] on his actions. [[spoiler: And ''gains his respect''.]]
** Not only that, but his cooking's leveled up immensely. In order to make enough antidote cooking to save everyone, he asked for ten minutes to come up with a way to allow regular chefs to make a high-level special preparation dish. With just a few seconds remaining, he succeeds, only for it to be revealed that he found the method in FIVE minutes. The rest of the time he devoted to making it taste even better.
** Most recently, he [[spoiler: cooked a meal that was so good, Midora said he could leave Bishokukai after promising that for any chef who could make him say their food was delicious. And he did it with the left behind ingredients that weren't stolen by NEO, some of which were probably Gourmet World ingredients he'd never seen before.]]
** [[spoiler: Survives 1.5 ''years'' in the Gourmet World and thrives in it!]]
** [[spoiler: He not only manages to prepare AIR, but manages to make it tastier than using the normal preparation method would have!]]
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Receives one [[spoiler:after Teppei rips out and crushes his heart]]. Somehow [[spoiler:Teppei]] also rendered the wound impossible to heal even with "Dark" techniques. Dark techniques can ''revive the dead'' -- that's how bad the wound is. Since the "wound" is [[spoiler:a gaping hole in his chest and a missing heart]], this is a very bad thing. "PAIR" is the only thing that may be able to heal him.

* ISeeDeadPeople: [[spoiler:They gain the ability to see Food Spirits after eating "PAIR".]]

* OverlyLongTongue: [[spoiler:They get these after eating "ANOTHER". Except Sunny, who gets a mouth full of hair.]]
* PowerFist: [[spoiler:After eating "AIR", they become able to turn their left arms into the arms of their Appetite Demons. PAIR does the same for their right arm.]]

----
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: To the point where he can make new antidotes and poisons in only a few minutes.
* AuraVision: Due to his eyes being able to see light spectrums that normal people cannot, he can see the electromagnetic field around living beings, allowing him to predict their future going off the field's size, color an movements.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Coco is kind, soft-spoken, and polite. He can also generate and release deadly toxins at will.
* BigDamnHeroes: During the Regal Mammoth arc.
%%* {{Bishonen}}
* TheChessmaster: Coco is a ''brilliant'' strategist, as shown in the Regal Mammoth Arc and [[UpToEleven even more so]] in the Livebearer Arc. Hell, his actions against Livebearer put him very near MagnificentBastard territory.
* FantasticDrug: [[spoiler:His Devil Poison is essentially this. It's a highly addictive narcotic that causes those infected to become dependant on it to the point of him being able to [[MoreThanMindControl command them into doing his bidding]] and will have withdrawal symptoms like an addict if they don't get any. Even Grinpatch essentially joined his side momentarily just because he wanted to drink the poison.]]
* FortuneTeller: His "day job".
* GameFace: Coco's "intimidation" resembles a Japanese-style ghost (long black hair and a [[TheScream Scream]]-like expression.
* ImageSong: "Poison Teller".
* LockedIntoStrangeness: [[spoiler:The results of the fight with Grinpatch show it ended in a complete draw - Coco's Devil Poison (comparable to, say, Sunny's Satan Hair) damn near killed him to use, Grinpatch went a bit crazy after it got in him, and Coco's hair turned white from poison overuse.]]
* MasterPoisoner: Coco is not only able to [[PoisonousPerson create and secrete various poisons in his own body]] - he also expert in all kinds of poisons, which suitable, since his enemies often has immunity, and he has to get crafty to kill them. Not only can he create poisons with various effects, from ones that paralyse targets to ones that make their flesh melt away, he also developed adaptive poison, which can adapt to wictims' immune systems and strike down foes, who normally would be immune to it. He's so skilled, that he can poison even robots - by using gases, which turns into highly-corrosive acid on certain metals. Surprisingly, he [[BadPowersGoodPeople is the most nice person out of the Four Kings]].
* NiceGuy: He's called the "Gentleman of the Four Kings". Though, compared to [[BigEater Toriko]], [[TheFightingNarcissist Sunny,]] and [[TokenEvilTeammate Zebra]], ''anyone'' would seem like a gentleman.
* OnlySaneMan: Compared to just how quirky or downright crazy his fellow Kings can be, he is the most normal in the group.
* PoisonousPerson: He's afraid that he can hurt people with his great amount of poisons, so he shuts himself in, only interacting to tell people their fortunes...that is, until the Puffer Whale arc. After mastering Honoring the Food, he can produce more poisons at once and newer types of poisons.
** PoisonIsCorrosive: Can create acidic poison as well.
* ProphecyTwist: The two times he saw a Death Omen on somebody, they took fatal wounds, but they recovered from them.
** More specifically, they were ''physically'' dead, as in their hearts stopped. It's just that they were revived moments later.
* TheSmartGuy: While all the Four Kings are smart, Coco is easily the one with the most use of it. The [[AllThereInTheManual databook]] notably gives him a 10/10 in intelligence.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: He can create weapons out of poison by combining it with the clotting agents from his blood. To date he has made [[KatanasAreJustBetter a katana]], [[ArcherArchetype a bow and arrow]], [[BladeOnAStick a spear]], and even a suit of armor.
** MesACrowd: He can make clones of himself out of poison. [[spoiler:After the time-skip he can bring them ''to life''.]]
* TallDarkAndHandsome
* TechnicolorToxin: In the manga, his skin turns red and supposedly his poison is also red. In the anime, it's [[PurplePoison purple]]. It seems that the stronger his poison gets, the darker its color.
* TonightSomeoneDies: He gets "Death Omens" when somebody is close to getting killed. However, see ProphecyTwist.
* UniversalPoison: [[spoiler:The only way to describe his Poison Virus, a virus that that adapts into a poison to counteract the target's immune system.]]

** His Super Spatula uses multiple hairs for a single force and ''multiply it'' by varying degrees (depending on how many hairs he uses).
%%* {{Bishonen}}
* BishieSparkle: Particularly in the anime.
* DontThinkFeel: This is what Yosaku tells him to do to increase his power, and it works.
* TheFightingNarcissist: A rare non-evil version.
* HammerspaceHair: ''Weaponized''. To the extent that he can absorb energy attacks and spit them right back at his attacker with his Satan Vomit.
* ImageSong: "Arienhodo Beauty".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's vain, superficial and narcissistic, but he cares for his friends and brothers and always does what's right.
* '''LongHairedPrettyBoy''': OH YEAH.
* MegatonPunch: [[spoiler: By gathering a lot of hair together, he can create what looks like a devilish ghost to deliver great punches. He doesn't like to use it, though, because it's "not beautiful".]]
* MulticoloredHair: Justified in that his hairs are a touch sensory organ and each color detects a different stimuli.
* NotQuiteFlight: Because of how thin his hairs are, when he uses them to stand on it looks like he's floating in the air.
* PeoplePuppets: [[spoiler:He can use his hairs to tie up enemies and control them like a puppeteer.]]
** [[spoiler:It's not just 'tying them up'--that would be his "Hair Lock". Hair Marionette inserts his micron-width hairs into the opponent's body and controls their [[BodyHorror NERVES]].]]
* PowerDyesYourHair: [[spoiler:His [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Satan Hair]], which is his hair imbued with "Appetite Energy", making it an extremely shiny [[GoldenSuperMode gold color]] and ''eat anything it touches''.]]

* PrehensileHair: UpToEleven.
** To drive the point home, he can even control his hairs ''after they've been cut off''.
* RazorFloss: He can use his extremely thin hairs to cut through or impale things.
* RunningGag: He always ends up having to fight the ugliest, most disgusting opponents around. Considering that he's a LongHairedPrettyBoy obsessed with "beauty", this does not make him happy.
* TranquilFury: Seeing the rotting corpses left behind by the Gourmet Corp. during the Regal Mammoth arc sends him into a stone-faced rage.
* WalkOnWater: Only using his hair like the legs of a water spider.

----
* AntiHero: For one thing, he doesn't "give humble thanks" before eating something.
* AxCrazy: Holy shit.
* BarrierWarrior: Yes, really. He can use his voice to create armor made of sound that can protect other people. He uses it to protect Komatsu from afar during the Gourmet Pyramid arc. Much later he uses it to protect civilians during the battle with the Four Beasts.
* BerserkButton: "Cocky" people. Also, creatures that annoy him.
** He particularly hates liars, as he feels that lying to someone's face is the most "cocky" thing a person can do. One of the main reasons he likes Komatsu (outside of his cooking) is because he's particularly honest.
* BigEater: To the point where he ate 26 species ''into extinction''.
* BloodKnight: Toriko himself says that Zebra loves fighting more than anyone else he's ever known.
* BrokenAce: Technically a Type 1, he's the strongest of the four, but lacks the moral restraints of the other three.
* BrownNote: He can mlate the frequency of his voice to instantly kill anyone.
* CatchPhrase: "Don't get cocky!"
* CantHoldHisLiquor: He's insanely badass, but staying sober is one of the few things he can't do.
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: Komatsu has to offer his services to Zebra to encourage him to take part in the Gourmet Pyramid.]]
* DeathFromAbove: His Thunder Noise and Meteor Noise, the former looking like lightning bolts.
* TheDreaded: The very ''news'' of him getting release is enough to cause a global, social, and economic crisis. Entire developing countries disappear because of it.
* ElementalPunch: [[spoiler:His Sound Knuckle, which puts a bubble of sound around his fist to make his punches more powerful.]]
* FlashStep: [[spoiler:His Onsoku Idou, allowing him to move at the speed of sound.]]
* GameFace: Zebra's "Intimidation" resembles a massive, scarred, bat-like creature.
* IGaveMyWord: He might be an AxCrazy SociopathicHero with [[TokenEvilTeammate highly questionable ethics]], but [[EvenEvilHasStandards he considers lying beneath him]]. If he says he'll do something, he'll do it.
* ImageSong: "Zebra!!"
* InformedAttribute: According to his "Capture Ability Data" Zebra's intelligence is 3/10. While Zebra is obviously the Heavenly King that does the least thinking, he rarely comes off particularly stupid.
* {{Jerkass}}[=/=]JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He tends to swerve in between.
* LargeAndInCharge: Bigger than Toriko as well as the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings.
* LivingLieDetector: Courtesy of his "Hell Ears" and the reason he hates liars so much.
* MakeMeWannaShout: ''[[UpToEleven To the extreme]]''.

* NightmareFace: The left side of his cheek has been torn off, showing all of his jagged teeth
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Warden Love's pheromones have absolutely no effect on him.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Which is why IGO put him in jail in the first place.
* RatedMForManly: Even more so than Toriko.
* ShapingYourAttacks: Zebra can use his [[MakeMeWannaShout destructive voice]] in ways you never thought were possible. This includes cutting, electrocution, making explosions or barriers, and even laser beams.
* SociopathicHero: Emphasis on "sociopath".
* SmugSuper: His overall attitude, he's confident because frankly he has a lot of badassery to back it up.
* TokenEvilTeammate: He shows absolutely no remorse for his actions. None.
* TookALevelInKindness: At the beginning of the series, he was a bloodthirsty sociopath who just ate whatever he wanted; as of recent arcs, he's actively saving people from beasts and villains of his own volition.

* AmbiguouslyBrown
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: To [=IGO=].
* BadassGrandpa: Ichiryuu is, hands down, one of the three strongest men alive. The entirety of the Gourmet Corps' elites, save for Midora, would have no chance against him. The only people who stand on his tier are Midora and their brother disciple Jiro. [[spoiler: And very possibly Joie.]]
* BigGood: Shares this role with Jiro. [[spoiler: Jiro might well have to shoulder this burden alone now...]]
** [[spoiler: Good news, Midora spares him!...but then a Blue Nitro finishes him off.]]
* CainAndAbel: Zigzagged a bit. He and Midora aren't blood brothers, but they're still bitter enemies and refer to one another as brothers, though Ichiryu wishes peaceful reconciliation was possible. [[spoiler: Even at the end, Ichiryu seems oddly proud of his brother's power and deeply wishes they could have shared a last meal together.]]
* CantHoldHisLiquor: When he was younger, he'd pass out after drinking a single drop of booze. He's grown out of it with age, drinking wines with alcohol contents as high as ''85%'' (though he still complains about its strength)!
* CoolOldGuy: To Toriko, and is actually much more humble than his initial presentation presents.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He acts very goofy and senile to Toriko when we first see him. And then the sparring match starts...
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Which is odd, considering he used to have dark, brownish hair.
* GravityMaster: He can create a gravitational pull to draw in creatures much larger than himself, reverse the gravitational polarity to push them away and fly through the air.
** [[spoiler: In truth, due to his WindsOfDestinyChange ability, he is able to find the minority atoms that keep living things on the group and then alter the probability of him staying on the ground.]]
* HisNameIs: [[spoiler:After being defeated by Midora, he is struck down by a [[KingMook Blue Nitro]] before he can speak the name of the true enemy that must be vanquished.]]
* IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler:After basically showing he could kick anyone except the leader's ass easily in the Gourmet Corp., it is revealed that a lot of his Gourmet Cells were ''sleeping''. No telling how strong he will be once he is back to peak condition.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:By a Blue Nitro right after Midora defeated and spared him.]] [[spoiler: Even so, he appears later on in series in the spirit world.]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser: This guy will kick your ass with giant ''chopsticks!''

* PromotionToParent: For all of the Four Heavenly Kings. He loves them like his own sons.

* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:Essentially his ability to alter quantum physics through minority atoms in order to change the laws and nature of an object, making him able to alter the world's laws as he sees fit.]]
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:Was the first student of Acacia, a Gourmet Hunter now worshiped as a god.]]
* ShapingYourAttacks: [[spoiler:He can use Appetite Energy to create a pair of giant chopsticks to pick things up or use as melee weapons or projectiles.]]
* StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler:Ichiryuu's "Minority World" where the minority atoms, which disobey the normal laws of nature and physics, of an object take over effectively making him a RealityWarper.]]
** Its revealed later on that [[spoiler: Not only was his gourmet Demon one of the strongest in the Red Universe, Don Slime, but He himself defeated Don Slime single handed.]]
* WalkOnWater: More like he hops across it like a stone skipping on water.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: [[spoiler:His signature ability seems to manipulate quantum mechanics. He can switch the probability of events, making miracles happen on a whim (like standing in midair and turning solid ground into quagmire) and reversing the functions of his opponent's own organ systems. ]]

* RunningGag: People call him by name, only for him to mishear "Handsome". To the point that he mishears a panicking baby Regal Mammoth's shouts for "Handsome", at which point everyone and everything--including the panicking baby Regal Mammoth--stops to correct him.
* SuperMode: He also can use Knocking, this time to boost his stats up as well as his size. Or so we thought; the Knocking '''LIMITS''' his power, and he releases it to fight at full power.
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler: His immediate concern for the wellbeing of the devastated Human World, despite being heavily injured himself, causes Defense Director Rei to humor Mansam's RunningGag and falsely admit to calling him "Handsome".]]

----
* ActionGirl: Tries her best to be one, though she's sadly [[OvershadowedByAwesome overshadowed by other characters]]. [[spoiler: Chapter 221 shows that she took an upgrade.]]
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: She is technically "killed" by Starjun, but comes back thanks to her Gourmet Cells and a kiss from Toriko.]]
* BattleCouple: [[spoiler: With Toriko now they are engaged!]]
* TheBeastMaster: Her job at the first Biotope Colosseum. She uses different scents to either excite or calm down the various monsters before/after they fight.
* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: Marries Toriko in the second to last chapter of the series.]]
* ImageSong: "Ring Ring"
** StealthPun: The kanji that make up her name mean "little bell".
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Armlets that shoot perfumes and scent clouds. On the other hand, said perfumes includes very useful ones effective against beasts or as a power-up for others.
** [[spoiler: Becomes a DualWielding [[SaiGuy Sai Girl]] as seen in chapter 221.]]
* OfficialCouple: Rin eventually marries [[spoiler:Toriko]] towards the end of the series.
* RunningGag: Early on, she has a tendency to mix up Battle Fragrance and Relax Perfume.
* ScarsAreForever: Her scar is a bit unique in that she took a razor '''to her own face''' solely so she could have scars like Toriko. It hurt too much after the first one for her to keep going, though.
* ShesGotLegs: Her outfits often show off her long and slender legs.
* SiblingYinYang: She's quite a tomboy, as opposed to her '''incredibly''' campy brother Sunny.
* SingleTargetSexuality: '''Toriko'''. [[spoiler: This actually saves her life, believe it or not. And now they are engaged.]]
* SweetTooth: Eats mostly sweets, much to her brother's dismay.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: In the anime, the tomboy to Tina's girly girl.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: The next time we see her in action against the Gourmet Corp. army, she's putting tons of beasts to sleep at once and takes on Bei, Doshan, and Zaiper with her [[LaserBlade Fragrance Swords]] And she ''wins''.]]
** [[spoiler: She's now a Research Chief at IGO.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Seen to be very rude at Mansam, she also blushes whenever Toriko looks at her.
