Sunny (サニー Sanī) is one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" (四天王 Shitennou) and Rin's older brother. 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. He seeks "harmony" in his dishes which is the perfect use of ingredients, perfect handling of the food and most importantly producing a perfect taste.[1] He, and the other Four Heavenly Kings, were trained by Ichiryu, the President of the IGO. As of the Shining Gourami arc, he also has a child Mother Snake as an Animal Partner, called Quinn.
Powers and Abilities
Sunny has pilokinesis (hair manipulation), allowing him to control his hair for attacks, defense, and movement; enhanced senses and intuition that provide a form of extrasensory perception; Gourmet Cell abilities, including transforming body parts into his Gourmet Demon and other powers like the Spatula technique to reflect attacks; and body control and transformation, stemming from his Gourmet Cells and his hair's Oni.
His advanced hair manipulation enabled by his Gourmet Cells. He can remotely control his hair and use it as a powerful, multi-purpose tool for attacking, defending, and creating complex structures. His hair is equipped with "sensors" that grant him an extraordinarily sensitive sense of touch, allowing him to feel vibrations, pressure, and even emotions in his environment. He uses these sensors for techniques like Hair Net for paralysis, and a unique Spatula ability to reflect attacks. Sunny can also utilize fear-inducing auras and manifest Appetite Energy through his hair and Gourmet Cells

Offensive Techniques
#-Strand Hair Punch (#-本髪ヘアパンチ #-Bon Hea Panchi): After arranging his hair into his Appetite Demon using several thousand strands of hair, Sunny uses it to deliver a powerful punch to the target. This can defeat a GT Robo in one strike. The more strands of hair he uses, the shorter the range but more powerful his Hair Punch. He uses 300,000 strands against the King Octopus Kong.
Hair Cutter (ヘアカッター Hea Kattā): Sunny uses a few strands of hair as cutting implements. The technique was strong enough to cut through the thick ice over Pot Pond.
Super Hair Shot (スーパーヘアショット Sūpā Hea Shotto): After launching a Hair Punch, he then catches the attack with his Feelers and multiply its power using Super Spatula several times over, before firing it at the opponent in a devastating attack.
Gold Hair: A special type that Sunny uses only when infusing his hair with Appetite Energy, it is not used to sense anything, but only for battle. This hair is virtually indestructible, and will devour anything it touches, from beasts to other humans.
While his sense of touch does give him great advantages in battle, it also generates equivalent drawbacks. Should even one of his ultra-sensitive feelers be cut, Sunny will feel pain on the same level as a tooth being ripped from his mouth. Because his great volume of hair means that cutting attacks will always strike many feelers at once, the pain involved is comparable to having a whole mouthful of teeth (or more) pulled simultaneously without anaesthetic; pain enough that it would cause a normal human to fall into a state of shock and die. The hair is also vulnerable to temperature or chemical-based attacks, as Sunny was forced to release his Hair Lock on Starjun when the latter manifested flames over his entire body.
Hunting Method
Sunny hunts by using his prehensile hair to capture his prey. From the tip of each hair extends a Feeler (触手 Shokushu, Sensor in the English versions) much thinner than the hair itself; about 0.1 microns wide (note that 'hair' and 'feeler' are used interchangeably in this article). These feelers are extremely strong. After his training in Intuition and Food Honor, Sunny is able to use over 1,000,000 feelers which can extend to a range of over 700 meters, and each has a tensile strength of over 300 kilograms. Toriko claims that he is unable to break one even when held taut. Indeed, Sunny's hairs have only been shown to be cut by a Gourmet World beast specially bio-engineered for cutting power, and it took the massive physical strength of Tommyrod himself to pull them out by the roots (for comparison, Tommyrod suggests that one of his arms, even while severed, is equivalent in strength to a beast with a capture level over 200).
Sunny has complete control over each and every one of his feelers, though the more he uses at once and the more precisely he maneuvers them the more energy and concentration they require. This highly mentally-taxing requirement was one of Sunny's greatest weaknesses early in the series. After training with Guemon however, Sunny can now use his feelers in water (while before he couldn't even swim), and they require essentially no concentration to manipulate. Even when the hair is cut from his head, he can still manipulate them due to the nerves still being active and able to communicate after being severed for a short time much like insect ganglia, however this requires extreme concentration leaving him vulnerable to attack.
Touch
Sunny's "Touch"
Sunny's enhanced sense as one of the Four Heavenly Kings is touch. His enhanced sense of touch is used through his feelers (also sometimes called 'Touches' in reference to this fact). Although far too thin to be seen by the naked eye, Sunny's feelers are always spread around him in a 300-meter radius, probing the environment. The hairs' sense of touch is very delicate, approaching the sensitivity of fingertips. This gives Sunny constant feedback on everything around him, and lets him explore the environment via touch alone; he can even defeat beasts without having to look at or be near them this way.
Hair Operation
Each colored hair transmits a different form of touch data to his brain:[2]
Blue Hair: This hair is used to detect low temperatures.
Pink Hair: This hair is used to detect high temperatures.
Green Hair: This hair is used to detect pressure.
White Hair: This hair senses painful stimuli.
Gold Hair: A special type that Sunny uses only when infusing his hair with Appetite Energy, it is not used to sense anything, but only for battle. This hair is virtually indestructible, and will devour anything it touches, from beasts to other humans.
While his sense of touch does give him great advantages in battle, it also generates equivalent drawbacks. Should even one of his ultra-sensitive feelers be cut, Sunny will feel pain on the same level as a tooth being ripped from his mouth. Because his great volume of hair means that cutting attacks will always strike many feelers at once, the pain involved is comparable to having a whole mouthful of teeth (or more) pulled simultaneously without anaesthetic; pain enough that it would cause a normal human to fall into a state of shock and die.
