Toriko features story and art by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro.

Ichiryu, head of the IGO, and Midora, head of the nefarious Gourmet Corp., were once like brothers under the tutelage of Gourmet God Acacia, but now they are bitter rivals locked in a mortal combat of chopsticks vs. tongue. We take a trip hundreds of years into the past to see just what went wrong when Gourmet God Acacia's three disciples Ichiryu, Jiro, and Midora trained alongside their mentor, Acacia, and God Chef Froese to turn Midora into the monster he is today.
