Coco (ココ) is the "Gentleman" of the "Four Heavenly Kings" (四天王 Shitennou) and is good friends with Toriko, with whom he was raised and trained with. While Toriko mostly relies on his brute strength, Coco prefers using stealthy techniques and cunning strategy to subdue aggressors. He is also strong defensively; he is immune to over five hundred different kinds of poison. Coco is also a world-famous Fortune Teller whose fortune-telling abilities and good looks have made him extremely popular with women and results in him being mobbed by customers when he is in public. He, and the other Four Heavenly Kings, were trained by Ichiryu, the President of the IGO.
Coco is a tall and muscular man with an attractive face. He has black hair the style of which fluctuates frequently; it is wavy with loose curls naturally and is choppy when cut short. With the exception of when his hair is at its longest, Coco wears it in a forward-swept cowlick. Coco has prominent sideburns running down to the angles of his jaws, and short bushy eyebrows. He has piercing brown eyes; they are black in the manga but are colored a much lighter brown in the anime. Coco generally wears an all black suit with green bands wrapping around it at the wrists, elbows, waist, neck and an additional one on top of his head. He has been shown to remove these bands to fight, suggesting that they restrict his poison capabilities somewhat. On his turban he wears a purple pin in the shape of the letter "P". Coco's ears are pierced; his right ear sports gold stud in the lobe and what is either two purple studs or an industrial piercing in the scapha, and in his left ear is a single gauged plug from which dangles a fuchsia chain that attaches to a clasp worn on the helix of the same ear.
Coco is the "Gentleman" and one of the "Four Heavenly Kings". Known for his strategic mind, stealth, and immunity to hundreds of poisons, he uses his refined skills to excel as a fortune-teller and a powerful gourmet hunter. His exceptional vision allows him to see in the dark and read electromagnetic auras, giving him predictive abilities and making him a deadly ranged combatant.
Cocos powers and abilities
Poison Manipulation
Coco's powers revolve around his ability to control and generate poisons, a skill developed after exposure to countless types of toxins. He possesses immunity to hundreds of poisons, can convert his body fluids into various poisons to use as projectiles or in body armor and weapons, and can even create poison clones. In addition to his toxic abilities, Coco has exceptionally enhanced vision, enabling him to see in the dark, perceive electromagnetic auras for fortune-telling, and predict events with high accuracy
Toxikinesis:
Coco can create and manipulate over 500 different types of poisons, converting his body fluids into potent toxins.
Poison Projectiles:
He can shoot poison like a cannon or rifle, controlling the dosage and effect.
Poison Cannon (毒砲 Doku Hō): Coco gathers a ball of lethal poison around his fist and fires it as his opponent
Poison Rifle (ポイズンライフル Poizun Raifuru): Coco fires minuscule amounts of poison from his fingertips, sometimes adding spin to increase his accuracy.
Poison Sword (ポイズンソード Poizun Sōdo): Using Poison Solidification, Coco creates a blade of solidified poison. The sword is stated to be stronger than steel.
Poison Bow (毒弓 Doku Yumi): Using Poison Solidification, Coco can create a solid bow and arrow made of poison to fire it as a long-range attack. He has incredible aim with it as he is able to hit targets despite the long distance between them
Mold Spear (モールドスピア Mōrudo Supia): A spear made with poison similar to mold spores, its the speed of light, making it the fastest speed reached by any living creature in the world and making it almost impossible to dodge when thrown. Formerly, Coco could only manage to create one spear at a time.
Poison Armor & Weapons:
Due to being exposed to so many poisons, Coco's body became capable of synthesizing its own powerful poisons, making him a Poisonous Human (毒人間 Doku Ningen). His poison can be secreted from any part of his body, and he can control its concentration and effects. His poison is composed of his own bodily fluids, meaning he becomes dehydrated the more poison he produces, with his initial limit being 15 liters. By the time he does battle with Invite Death, the volume of poison he could produce increased an unknown manifold. His poison tends to become darker when he increases its lethality. Producing different types of poison and applying them in different ways gives him a variety of abilities. His body contains over 500 different types of poison antibodies, and can adapt nearly instantly to new ones with the exception of Gourmet World poisons like the Green Rain. It should be noted that some of his poisons act more like acid, and in some cases, they are actually composed of acid, giving his poison highly corrosive properties. He can also absorb his poison back into his body.
Superhuman Vision
Coco's enhanced sense as one of the Four Heavenly Kings is vision. He has the ability to see non-visible spectra of light due to the high amount of cone cells in his eyes and can read electromagnetic auras in order to predict an animal's (or person's) next action. This serves as the basis of his fortunetelling abilities. Coco's visual processing abilities are similarly enhanced to keep up with this visual prowess; Toriko notes that the symbols on Gourmet Casino's enormous and unpredictable 100-wheel slot machine are essentially 'standing still' for Coco.

Fortune Telling
Coco earns most of his living by working as a fortune teller, and his fortunes have a 97% accuracy rating. His visual powers can even see the "Shadow of Death" (死相 Shisō) over people and animals who soon will die. While these predictions of death are generally accurate, they can sometimes be subverted in various ways, such as when Komatsu temporarily died as Coco predicted, only to be revived by "Knocking Master" Jiro. With his fortune telling, he was able to win a trillion yens in one day, and defeat Livebearer despite his opponent cheating.
Synesthesia
Coco's Synesthesia
A phenomenon which causes one to perceive not just the natural reception from a stimulus like hearing a sound or seeing a color, but also completely other kinds of sensations. Using this sense Coco grasped the slight difference in electromagnetic waves seething out of the Gourmet Tasting Cards during the game of Food Concentration against Livebearer. Using his synesthesia Coco could easily discern the cards electromagnetic waves and by forming them into images he searched out cards having the same 'color' and 'shape' allowing him to predict which cards were hits and which were not.
Knocking
Coco is skilled enough to Knock a Puffer Whale, using a Delicate-Type Knocking Gun. He is also able to use his poison to Knock Livebearer.
Tactical Genius
Coco has demonstrated excellent tactical ability, as shown during his battle against a GT Robo, where he uses his poisons to bypass the robots poison defenses, infiltrate its body and melt the Robo's Core antenna, as well as during the Food Concentration game. He correctly predicted that his opponent, being the owner of the entire casino, would have rigged the entire game set-up to be in his favor as much as possible, and successfully used Livebearer's arrogance and complacency against him, through Coco's own prior knowledge of poison and the properties of the various ingredients in the game.
Life Erase
Life Erase (消命 Shōmei) is a technique that Coco uses while hunting Puffer Whale. By lowering his killing intent, Coco erases his presence allowing him to get close to an animal without it being aware.
Cooking
While not a Chef, Coco has displayed some knowledge and ability to prepare specially-prepared Ingredients, particularly those involving poison, such that he is one of the few people capable of successfully removing the poison sack of a Puffer Whale (though he admits that his success rate is very low compared to others and is incapable of performing the task if tired in any way). He also provided advice to Komatsu during the process on how to prepare some of the ingredients during Food Concentration, demonstrating advanced knowledge on preparing ingredients for their nutritional value and which ones complement each other the best.
Weapons Specialist
In battles he has different weapons. There are bullets where he can increase the power and speed by spinning them upon release, swords created from his blood and poison, which create blades that are stronger than steel, and armor that is made of the same substance as his swords. Recently he created a bow and arrows that he can use without missing his target and a spear with the throwing speed of mold spore discharge (the fastest speed of any living being).
