Race: Human Gender: Male Birthday: March 31st, 475 GA Age: 25 (start of the series); 29 (Post-Timeskip) Status: Alive Height: 155 cm Weight: 51 Kg Blood Type: A Affiliation: Four Heavenly Kings, IGO, Four Heavenly Kings Occupation: Chef for Hotel Gourmet; Toriko's partner Partner: Toriko A five-star chef who works for Hotel Gourmet, part of the prestigious IGO (International Gourmet Organization). Komatsu is 25 years old, the same age as Toriko. 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. It is shown that he is a highly skilled and competent chief capable on carrying out delicate procedures such as the removal of a puffer-whale's poison sack. He is also able to create delicious plates from any food giving to him and he has such a large knowledge of foods that he knows which foods would work well together. He is also very observant, being easily able to discover edible organisms in the area. His skills didn't go unnoticed since he has impressed all three of the "Four Heavenly Kings". Toriko noted he has skills even higher than five-star class, Coco who was surprised since Komatsu's skill is most likely world class and Sani seems to be in love with the way Komatsu works as a chef since it produces the "harmony" in food that Sani holds in such high regard. Because he is otherwise normal, he'll write a will whenever he come along on Toriko's hunts. He is also currently the only chef to successfully recreated the Century Soup. He keeps a baby Wall Penguin as a pet that contains the key ingredient for the soup in it's saliva.

Race: Human Gender: Male Birthday: 7 September Age: 24 (start of the series); 28 (Post-Time Skip) Status: Alive Height: 187cm Weight: 200 kg Blood Type: AB Affiliation: Four Heavenly Kings; IGO Occupation: Gourmet Hunter Hors-D'oeuvre: Beautiful Skin Caviar Soup: Charis Lobster Soup Fish Dish: Skin Whitening Tuna Meat Dish: Perfect Beauty Cattle Main: Jewel Meat Salad: Mochi Skin Bean Sprouts Dessert: EARTH Drink: Charis Dragon Scale Sake Sunny (Sani) is one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" (四天王, shitennou), he is first shown to have great strength, like Toriko, introduced carrying a Regal Mammoth with one arm, although this was merely a clever trick due to the fact that he was actually using his monstrously strong hair, each one of its strings being strong enough to lift nearly 50 pounds. He is Rin's older brother and a calm, collected pretty boy who judges the "beauty" of people's actions. He speaks in an elegant and almost flirting manner. He has a way of "knocking" without even 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 thousands upon thousands of super thin hairs that can reach a maximum of 25 feet (7.6 m) in length. Sunny'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 Sunny tasting whatever he is touching. He seeks "harmony" in his dishes which is the perfect use of ingredients, perfect handling of the food and most importantly producing a prefect taste. He seems to be slightly in love with Komatsu (or at least his skills since they seem to produce the "harmony Sunny looks for in meals). When he saw Rin, his calm personality disappears and is replaced by that of an over-protective older brother that is shocked by how much her body changed (gained weight from too many sweets), this leads to a rather comical sibling spat between the two. Despite this, anyone who harms Rin runs the risk of provoking his ire, in which case there is a 999.999 percent chance of said person dying. He is also aware of his sisters infatuation with Toriko and approves of it. He shows this when saying "If you wish to take him as a husband, as long as he keeps you safe, I will be okay with it. I will make no objections nor voice any complaints." He, and the other Four Heavenly Kings, were trained by Ichiryuu, the President of the IGO.
