Trivia / Toriko

• Actor-Shared Background: Tina's Mexican voice actress Angélica Villa is also a newscaster in real-life.
• Cancellation: The series only received dubs for the first 50 episodes and was then cancelled for unknown reasons.
• Celebrity Voice Actor: The narrator in the anime series is voiced by actor Kenjiro Ishimaru.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: Komatsu; only on TV, though. The English dub averts this.
• Dueling Shows: With One Piece. Its author even considered the author of Toriko to be his rival/equal.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: Only the first 50 episodes (not counting the One Piece crossovers) were released by Funimation on DVD; though it seems they lost the license entirely as it’s no longer on their streaming service. The only way to watch the whole show legally is via Crunchyroll (and by extension VRV) or Hulu, and there's no telling how long they'll stay.
  • Averted for the second movie as it will be released on Blu-Ray subtitled by Discotek Media in late-March 2018.
• The Other Darrin:
  • Toriko is voiced by Takashi Kondo in the Jump Festa OVA, while the TV anime has him voiced by Ryōtarō Okiayu.
  • Komatsu is voiced by Daisuke Kishio in the Jump Festa OVA, replaced by Romi Park for the TV anime.
  • Brunch went from Tomoyuki Dan to Katsuyuki Konishi by the following episode of his official debut due to Dan dying of an aortic dissection in October 2013.
• Official Fan-Submitted Content: Some of the manga's bread and butter was accepting food ideas from readers and implementing them into the world of Toriko. It gets to the point where you can see at least one of them per chapter.
• Playing Against Type: Toriko is certainly the manliest voice that Ian Sinclair has done so far. For someone for usually goes for the loud or soft voices, he uses a deep tone for this role.
• Unfinished Dub: FUNimation only dubbed and released the first 50 episodes, and nothing afterwards despite some encouraging from Ian Sinclair. The only way to watch the rest of the series is subtitled on Crunchyroll and Hulu.
• What Could Have Been: When Toriko was licensed for a Latin American release, the series was intended to be dubbed at The Kitchen in Venezuela. However, when The Kitchen decided to focus on subtitles for other anime, the series ended up being dubbed at Candiani Dubbing Studios, which also dubbed One Piece and Dragonball Z Kai in Latin America.
