Jiro (Toriko)

Jiro is the major supporting character of the anime/manga series Toriko. He is also a world-renowned Gourmet Hunter. In spite of his elderly appearance, he is one of the most powerful individuals in the world. Even after his retirement, he occasionally searches for ingredients for sport.
He was voiced by Morikawa Toshiyuki in the Japanese version, and by Philip Weber in the English version.
==Appearance==
Jiro's most distinguishing features are his hairstyle and his goatee. At the first glance, he appears as a frail hunched old man. He can utilize his power to increase the muscle mass of his body.
==Personality==
Jiro is a amicable, kindly man who seems to enjoy his life and lives to the fullest. Likewise, he has sense of honor and moral standards. The simple kindness of unselfishly offering him a drink is enough to gain his eternal gratitude, causing him to revive Komatsu and save Toriko from the Gourmet World when asked without asking anything in return.
According to Teppei, Jiro is a very laidback person who is almost always smiling. Teppei's shock at seeing Jiro stop smiling at the sight of a previous hunting ground which had been stripped barren of life influenced Teppei to become a Saiseiya.
