Origin: Toriko
Gender: Male
Classification: Human, Bishokuya (Gourmet Food Provider), One of the Four Heavenly Kings
Age: 25 
Powers and Abilities: Super strength, speed, durability, agility, endurance, inhuman olfactory (surpasses that of a dog’s, can use smell alone to fight in complete darkness, although not very effectively, even capable of detecting pheromones with his sense of smell) incredible willpower (huge tolerance for pain, has no problems risking parts of his body in order to make an opening for an attack, even if it means sacrificing an arm to land a blow, ate a bomb which destroyed his internal organs etc.), Shokugi expert (a fighting style based on kitchen utensils, the practitioner simulate utensils with his body and through it gains access to the properties of the utensils), hand-to-hand expert, Gourmet Cells (cells with regenerative and strength-enhancing qualities that allows the user to evolve when they consume delicious foods, the cells can also evolve as a response to harsh new environments, instantly creating adaptations which allow the user to survive, and can also initiate other self defense mechanisms for the body), has Gourmet Cell Demons which he can use to further power himself up (Toriko has three confirmed demons, "Red", "Blue" and a ''White'' demon), some immunity to poison (he has around 70 antidotes of various poisons in his body, by injecting a tiny potion of poison to various poisoned creatures for a long time, he can make antibodies in his body artificially, most of the Bishokuya’s have this ability), Gourmet Luck | Can use Appetite Energy to send out knives and forks, high level resistance to extreme climates (-70 degrees celcius to over a 1000 degrees C) | Can move flexibly in conditions exceeding 4x normal gravity, some kind of precognition and predictive capabilities (via keen perception and experience, can predict his opponents next moves through their muscle expansions/contractions and breathing, kept up with creatures who are stated to be 10x faster), can create Fork Shields | Food Honor expert (a philosophical practice of the appreciation of your food, which is pursued by seeking perfection of bodily control and power of concentration, and through it achieving enhanced physical ability and supreme energy efficiency), Food Immersion practitioner (secret technique of Food Honor, where the user through complete appreciation of the food is able to receive almost limitless nutrients from it, and also store months worth of nourishment in the body) | Can control his Flying Knives and Forks remotely (via Ultimate Routine) and home them in on the targets scent | Enbu (or Monkey Dance is a form of martial arts discipline which utilizes all the cells in the body to unleash more power) | The ability to create and maintain Back Channels
Weaknesses: Ultimate Routine consumes an enormous amount of calories
Destructive Capacity: At least multi city block level+ (resisted the bite of a Regal Mammoth for several seconds), higher via combination attacks | Multi city block level+, town level via combination attacks (destroyed a small town’s sized iceberg and matched the energy of its fall with a combination, before learning the 13-Ren Kugi Punch) | Small city level for individual punches, island level with combination attacks | Country level, superior to Four Beast limbs (7 teratons) | Country level+, higher via combination attacks (at least this high, his casual Flying Forks are a great threat to monsters strong enough to laugh off country busting onslaughts, can potentially send out thousands of country busting attacks at once) | Large planet level (as a result of Jet Knife, Hoshigiri), potentially much higher as Blue or Red Oni | Solar system level+, far superior to Teppei (after eating Red Oni, Toriko became strong enough to fight against Acacia), potentially stronger via utilizing Blue, way much stronger as White Oni (The White Oni casually defeated; a Neo/Acacia who had eaten the 8 Kings, by using just one finger, Midora also said that only Toriko's White Oni, is the only Appetite that ever gave him ''shiver'', which shows it's overall power)
Range: Average human melee range, hundreds of kilometers with projectiles

Lifting Strength: Class G (Toriko can easily lift and throw creatures well above the 100 ton range, could lift large chunks of solid rock with one arm while nearly out of energy, can resist the biting force of a Regal Mammoth) | Class G (could support a multi million ton ice boulder on one arm before the boulder shattered) | Class G+ | Class G+ (Toriko’s Gourmet Cells have evolved since the Ice Hell arc, and he’s folds stronger by this point, evident by the fact that he can use higher level Kugi Punches) | At least Class T+ (carried a bowl of food heavy enough to feed the whole of the human world) | At least Class T+ | At least Class P+ (Nosh held up AIR momentarily which had a mass equal to the mass of the atmosphere of the Earth)
Striking Strength: Class TJ (chopped off the arm of a GT Robot) | Class TJ+ (punched a huge ice boulder weighing 11 million tons into pieces with a lower level Kugi Punch) | Class PJ | Class ZJ (made a huge fissure with Leg Boomerang, also physically stronger than the Mounturtle which smashed apart Ice Hell) | At least Class ZJ+ (overall, Toriko's striking power is far greater using Ultimate Routine than normally) | At least Class XJ+ | Class XGJ+
Stamina: Large, but he uses up his stamina quickly | Incredibly large, as of now Toriko can liberally use techniques that cost millions of calories, thanks to his Food Immersion mastery
Standard Equipment: Nothing notable
Intelligence: Skilled combatant (Toriko has constantly shown his skill in combat and skill to adapt to an opponent superior in another field, this is evidence of his battle tactic to draw his opponent into close range where he in turn would have the battle advantage, his position as a Bishokuya also adds to his skill as a fighter, Food Honor master), doesn’t appear to be fairly book smart, expert in the field of hunting, learned Ultimate Routines to a respectable degree in under a month when even using it more than 3 times every few months should be considered impossible
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 

- Conduct of the King: Ultimate Routine: A mind technique to increase the success rate and potential of another technique. It's basically the "mind over body" concept taken to the next level. The user creates an image of the technique and concentrates on it in order to make themselves believe, without a doubt, that it will happen (similar to how placebo medicine can work when the patient believes it will work). The drawback is that the "impression" is sensed by those around (similar to how a confident leader can give the "impression" of success; inspiring his followers) and that the extreme concentration and impeccable self-confidence required to perform the technique consumes an enormous amount of energy to maintain.

- Food Honor: A philosophical practice of the appreciation of your food, which is pursued by seeking perfection of bodily control and power of concentration, and through it achieving enhanced physical ability and supreme energy efficiency (via using your muscles more efficiently).

• Food Immersion: Secret technique of Food Honor, where the user through complete appreciation of the food is able to receive almost limitless nutrients from it, and also store months' worth of nourishment in the body

- Gourmet Cells: Specialized cells with excellent regenerative and strength-enhancing qualities. When a human successfully adapts Gourmet Cells into their body they gain overwhelming life force and strength, creating a superhuman. An individual's Gourmet Cells increase in power when they consume delicious foods that suit them and the 'tastes' of their Gourmet Cells, causing the cells to 'evolve'; this enhances the strength of the user and their abilities. Gourmet cells can also evolve as a response to harsh new environments, instantly creating adaptations that allow the user to survive. Gourmet Cells have very high energy demands, so individuals must consume frequent large amounts of delicious food, lest the cells begin uncontrollably devouring their body at the cellular level.

• Autophagy: After all of Toriko's normal calorie reserves are used up (usually through fasting or exhaustion) his Gourmet Cells begin to "eat" themselves to supply Toriko with a temporary source of energy (This is represented in Toriko's mind as his true, wild self, eating his human body). This is extremely dangerous to his health however as if he doesn't eat the most delicious thing he can find at the time, he'll die, but if he does, his Gourmet Cells will "level up" giving him increased overall stats, as well as either powering up existing techniques or supplying him with entirely new ones. Autophagy has a time limit of five minutes before Toriko dies.

• Regeneration: It has been shown that when Toriko's body is heavily damaged if there is quality, well-prepared food in his system, any damage to his body will be reversed by his Gourmet Cells. This can be anything from deep gashes to damaged internal organs.

• High Efficiency Breathing: By preserving as much oxygen as possible in his lungs, Toriko's Gourmet Cells significantly lower the total amount of oxygen needed to function, as well as lowering the total amount of oxygen expelled with each breath, thus stabilizing the blood oxygen levels in his arteries. The result is high energy levels brought from a comparatively smaller amount of oxygen, and high-efficiency breathing. Exhalation is also stopped, which keeps body heat, moisture, and oxygen inside his body, and any carbon dioxide that is contained inside by not exhaling is expelled in an instant, while any stored oxygen is immediately sucked back in.

• Anti Gravity Cell Vibration: Toriko's Gourmet Cells vibrate against each other to generate a large amount of static electricity, to a similar magnetic charge of a high gravity environment. What would normally be a negative charge that's held in Toriko's body, is slowly changed to a more positive charge. The result is a positive charge standing against a positive charge, which increases the repulsive force in his body, making the effects of high gravity less pronounced. This, however, consumes a high amount of calories.

• Essential Oil: A volatile substance that is emitted by trees, shrubs etc, that has a function as an insecticide for insects. This stops Tommyrod's powerful bugs from attacking him and is more or less a self-defense system created by Toriko's Gourmet Cells to fend off Tommy's insects.

• "Evolved Form'': After he ate the ''Jewel Meat" his muscular body mass increased, his stats dramatically increased he was emitting a sparkling light all over his body and his wounds were healed (this form was probably for a limited time and has so far been used only once, however, some of the effects of the ''Jewel Meat" helped him later)

• "Gourmet Stand": Toriko can project his Gourmet Cells outside his body, which takes the shape of his intimidation. As of yet, however, he has only done so subconsciously and he can't control it.

- Kugi Punch (Nail Punch, up to 70-Ren): After building up power in his arm, Toriko unleashes a flurry of straight punches that appears to hit the target simultaneously, after which the accumulated punches are delivered in quick succession. Toriko can also use long-range versions, launching blasts of kinetic energy likely formed from Appetite Energy, from his fists which pierce through distant targets. Toriko can either use a concentrated or scattered version.

• Twin Kugi Punch (up to 100-Ren, 50 with each arm): Toriko throws a Kugi Punch with both arms.

• Fork Gauntlet Twin Kugi Punch: Toriko materializes a Fork Shield on each of his hands and delivers a Twin Kugi Punch.

• Kugi Gun (up to 50-Ren): By concentrating the Rens of his Kugi Punch into one attack, Toriko delivers the accumulated power of the Rens all at once, without the delay of his normal Kugi Punch. Concentrating the Rens into one attack, however, greatly exhausts his muscles.

• Twin Kugi Gun: Used with Ultimate Routine. Toriko throws a Nail Gun with both arms.

• Kugi Kick: Used with Ultimate Routine. Similar to Kugi Punch, only deliver with his leg instead of his fist.
  
  
• Mugen Kugi Punch (Infinite Nail Punch): A technique seen after Toriko awakens a part of his Gourmet Cells by consuming AIR, Toriko strikes his opponent with a Nail Punch of countless hits using Red Demon's left arm.

• Jet Kugi Punch: Using a giant-sized left arm of Red Demon, Toriko uses a Nail Punch with the striking power of a jet plane. It is implied that it is quite strong as it was able to clash equally against Teppei's giant wood arm.
  
  

- Fork & Knife: A fighting style based on kitchen utensils, the practitioner simulates utensils with his body and through it gains access to the properties of the utensils. Through Appetite Energy, Toriko uses his left hand to simulate a Fork, which is used for piercing attacks and shielding techniques, and his right hand to simulate a Knife, which is used for slashing attacks.

• Fork Kugi Punch (up to 70-Ren): Used with Ultimate Routine. Toriko combines the stabbing power of his Fork with the accumulating Ren power of a Kugi Punch. Toriko can also control and change its course remotely with gestures.

• Knife Nail Gun (up to 60-Ren): Used with Ultimate Routine. Toriko combines the piercing/slashing power of his Knife with the accumulating Ren power of a Nail Gun.

• Flying Fork & Knife: The ranged version. Using his arms to make a stab (Fork) or a slash (Knife) Toriko manifests blades made out of Appetite Energy which is launched at the opponent.

• Cannon Fork: A technique derived from the Flying Fork. Toriko sends out an untold amount of Flying Forks (which he can now achieve thanks to Food Honor) which merge into one powerful fork.

• "Homing Forks & Knives": Used with Ultimate Routine. Toriko launches hundreds of Flying Knives and Forks which he can control and direct with gestures. They also home in on targets based on their scent.

• Leg Fork & Knife: Toriko uses his legs to fire a Fork or Knife made out of Appetite Energy. Because his legs are stronger than his arms, these are significantly superior to Toriko's regular Fork & Knife. These can be both a melee technique and a ranged attack.

• Leg Boomerang: Toriko kicks and launches a blade shaped like a boomerang. Even if the target dodges it at first, it will return like a boomerang and hit them in the back.

• Kugi Leg Knife (up to 50-Ren): Used with Ultimate Routine. Like a Kugi Punch, only Toriko uses Leg Knives instead of punches.

• Fork Shield: Toriko creates a fork, composed of Appetite Energy, which covers his body, acting as a shield to block attacks.
  
  
  • Kugi Fork Shield: Used with Ultimate Routine. Toriko combines his Fork Shield with his Kugi Punch technique, thus giving Toriko a multi-layered shield.
    
    
  • Fork Armor: Used with Ultimate Routine. Wraps himself in a Fork to provide full body protection.
    
    
• Devil Fork: Can only be performed by Toriko's Blue Demon currently. After Toriko's Blue Demon jumps out from his body, it morphs its left arm into a fork with several sharp tines to attack the opponent.

• Devil Knife: Can only be performed by Toriko's Blue Demon currently. An extremely powerful Knife projectile.

• Jet Knife: Toriko uses his standard Knife with Red Demon's right arm. The arm becomes thin and slender before the attack is launched.
  
  
• Jet Fork: Toriko uses his standard Fork with Red Demon's left arm. When Toriko uses this attack, streams of steam are seen flowing out of his arm. The range of this attack is long enough to travel up to space.
  
  
  • Rapid-Fire Type Jet Fork: Toriko throws several Jet Forks in quick succession. It is first used against GOD, which redirects them with its tongue.

- Ice Pick: Using his right hand, Toriko places his middle finger over his ring and index fingers. This gives him more piercing power than his 'fork'.

• Ice Pick Kugi Punch: Ice pick combined with Nail Punch for even more piercing power. However, putting such force into a punch without a clenched fist may break his fingers, ruining his 'fork' hand for a while.

- Knocking: Toriko is skilled enough to knock one extremely sensitive Puffer Whale within an hour of trying, using just a finger from his 'fork' hand. Later on, he was able to use the skill on a Grand Land Shark.

- Life Erase: A technique that erases your presence allowing you to get close to an animal without it being aware. Toriko was able to use this technique almost immediately after seeing Coco use it while hunting Puffer Whale.

- Intimidation: A visionary optical illusion that can be used to avoid meaningless battles and can make his enemy shit his pants (he appears like a vicious bloodlusted demon, many creatures are scared as hell of it, it is a very useful ability against his opponents). Toriko appears as a hannya demon to both friend and foe.

- Enbu: A form of martial arts discipline as well as a form of ranking system. The ways of Enbu are no simple matter as it is based on working with the body as a whole. This unison of the body must be performed on a cellular level meaning that in order to master Enbu, every single cell within an individual's body must cooperate together and put aside the different emotions and thoughts which separate them from each other. One of the most important strengths of any Enbu practitioner is their cellular level of unison. Because each cell works together in order to perform different tasks, Enbu allows a practitioner's focus to be amplified beyond what they can deem possible. However, despite its great strength, Enbu itself has weaknesses. One weakness of Enbu is that all cells must constantly be cooperating with each other in order to continuously apply the strengths of Enbu. If even one cell becomes exhausted, it can create disorder in the focus of all cells, causing the whole application of Enbu to collapse, and because of this, in order to continuously apply Enbu strengths, a practitioner must have high levels of stamina and must maintain absolute focus in order to continue using Enbu strengths.

- Combo Attacks: Combination attacks between Toriko, and another Heavenly King.

• 17-Ren Speed of Sound Kugi Punch: A combo attack between Toriko and Zebra. It takes the power of Toriko's 17-Ren and increases his movement speed to make it faster.

• 36-Ren x30 Kugi Punch: A combo attack between Toriko and Sani. Sani redirects Toriko's 36-Ren and shoots the destructive force at a target with 30 times the power of Toriko's standard 36-Ren. This attack has shown the power to shatter a 1 trillion ton, 5 km tall mountain in one strike, and is by far the strongest attack in Toriko to date.

• Dinner of Kings: By equalizing his appetite with that of the other three Heavenly Kings, they can create a mass of Appetite Energy which will seek out and completely devour its target.
  
  
• Fire Jet Fork: Toriko combines his Jet Fork with Starjun's Volcano.
