—Mansam

Mansam (マンサム Mansamu) is the new IGO President and formerly the IGO Development Bureau Director and Gourmet Research Facility Chief, he took on the candle of Ichiryu after his death.  As an old friend of Toriko and the other Four Heavenly Kings, he treats them like family. Before the events of the timeskip he ran the IGO's 1st Biotope, however whether or not this is the case after the timeskip remains unknown.

Appearance

Mansam Expressions

Mansam is a middle-aged man with chiseled features, a flat nose and is completely bald. He has two vertical scars on the left side of his head and three metal piercing on the top of it. He wears a white and gray sleeveless camo shirt in the manga and a plain green one in the anime as well as a pair of beige shorts.

Personality

What? Did you call me handsome?!!

—Mansam, to almost everybody.

When someone says his name he thinks they are calling him handsome; this is a pun as his name sounds similar to the english word handsome. Others often clarify this as a misunderstanding, though he seems to be disappointed as a result, always wanting to be called handsome. He seems to be always drunk or just in a really happy state most of the time and is called a drunkard by Toriko. Only when someone mentions a job needs doing or when he gets angry does he change to a more serious mood. Mansam has an affectionate relation with his pet and animal partner Rikky, having given him a gigantic parfait for getting rid of the core of a GT Robot . He has great loyality to Ichiryu since the president chose to give Mansam a second chance by training and reforming him.

Relationships

Rikky

As Mansam's pet, Rikky seems to be very important to Mansam. He hinted that Ricky saved his life when they first met and to repay him, Mansam has taken very good care of him. He also mentioned that Ricky's species is somewhat common and hopes to find him a mate soon.

Toriko

Mansam treats Toriko like an old friend and extends every hospitality toward him. Both often tend to goof around and enjoy partying together, something he has not been shown doing with Toriko's adoptive siblings. He is also the one who discovered the little orphaned Toriko along with Ichiryu when he was young and because of this he has a very close bond with him and treats him like family.

Four Heavenly Kings

His relationship with the other three Four Heavenly Kings is pretty much the same as Toriko although he doesn't interact or goof around with them as much as he does with Toriko. He considers them all friends and allies and also treats them like family since he helped find them with Ichiryu and is willing to help them in tight spots.

Powers and Abilities

As the IGO's former Development Bureau Director and Gourmet Research Facility Chief and current President, taking over Ichiryu's place, he is IGO's #1 person, therefore he has complete administrative control over the entirety of the IGO. He is incredibly powerful, able to take on a GT Robot easily and hold up a giant infant Regal Mammoth with only his head. He also showed no fear or discouragement in the idea of aiding the Four Heavenly Kings in fighting the dreaded Four Beast; it was also stated by Director General Uumen that if he had gone wild there the Four Heavenly Kings would never have gotten their chance, showing that he is a man of great power and may be able to easily take on the Four Beast and enter the Gourmet World.

It is unclear if he resorts to any conventional martial art when fighting. Aside from his punches, he used a headlock to sever the head of a Giant Model GT Robot.

Mansam has amazing strength, as he did ten thousand push-ups with a large creature on his back merely as daily training and could support a baby Regal Mammoth on his head alone with no visible strain. Even more, he managed to crush Giant Model GT Robots after releasing his Knocking. He has an incredibly high pain tolerance, able to live through being stabbed in the gut and a hole blown through his throat by a laser beam and can easily heal himself by drinking sake, which easily stimulates his Gourmet Cells. In his unsealed form he withstood several laser beams fired at him at once without suffering much damage. He also got right back up when he was attacked by Shigematsu's animal partner. In his youth, he was an undefeated bandit until he met the IGO president Ichiryu, who then trained him to not lose to anyone except for the president himself.

Hunting Method

Mansam uses physical strength, which is even above Toriko's. After releasing his Knocking, it increases dramatically. [2]

Intimidation

 
Intimidation

Mansam projects the image of a giant male Asura with eight arms instead of six and three faces that appears to have bronze skin. The color of his intimidation aura is golden yellow.


Knocking

 
Knocking
Mansam huge

Mansam's alternate knocking form.

Mansam can use Knocking guns on himself to increase his muscle mass. When doing so his eyes turn white, his skin becomes very dark and his upper body becomes incredibly toned and muscular and easily towers over the tall Shigematsu. During Cooking Fest, he is shown to posses an even larger form with even darker skin, a more proportionate muscular frame and he is as large or larger than the head of a Giant Model GT Robot, making him appear as a giant, and while in this form he can easily overpower an army of Giant GT Robots. It is later revealed that the Knocking is used to restrict his real power because he can’t control himself.[3]

Probably due to him modifying his body using Knocking, Mansam cannot be paralyzed via Knocking or his Knocking point simply is in a different and obscure place.

Techniques

 
Fry Punch
  • Frying Pan Punch (フライパンチ, Furai Panchi): A pun as in Japanese pan and punch are pronounced similarly, the technique is similar to Toriko's "Fork and Knife". This is, of course, is a punch, but the arm is shaped like a frying pan. Even in Mansam's restricted state it is powerful enough to send large beasts flying.


 
Fry Pan Sandwitch
  • Frying Pan Sandwich (フライパンサンドイッチ, Furaipan Sandoitchi): This technique requires the use of both hands to slam into opposite sides of the opponent's head, hence the name. After he removes his Knocking, it is strong enough to crush the upper part of a GT Robot.


 
Wanted Punch
  • Wanted Punch (ウォンテッドパンチ, Uonteddo Panchi): A more powerful and devastating punch that went straight through a Giant Model GT Robot with ease, obliterating its body completely.


History

Regal Mammoth Arc

After Toriko had been called in by the IGO to help out on a special mission on Regal Island, he and Komatsu traveled to the 1st Biotope. As soon as they arrived, however, Komatsu was attacked by a giant Muscle Crab. Luckily, he was saved by none other than Mansam, who easily subdued the beast with his Fry Punch. He happily welcomes Toriko and Komatsu, and both Toriko and he exchange some friendly quips like old friends. After he shows them around the facility, he escorts them to the Gourmet Coliseum to see their latest Chain Animal.

Mansam, Toriko, and Komatsu arrive at the Coliseum. Toriko asks about the Battle Wolf, while Mansam replies that he would see it soon enough. Komatsu recognizes some of the research facility visitors and asks Mansam about them, and is informed that they are all rich men (IGO V.I.P) from all over the world.

He explains that they collected Battle Wolf DNA and used it to create a clone, who'll be participating as the main event. The event called for an explanation of the Battle Wolf-Death Gore event to Komatsu, and in the process, Rin calls. He scolds her for not being able to handle the Battle Fragrance machine, thus boosting the fragrance to max level. The beast didn't seem to fight back, leading Toriko that it's a female preparing for birth, and confirming it after asking Mansam.

Mansam is shocked when Toriko breaks into the stadium, as its walls are extremely durable. Toriko requested him to stop the Fragrance and the event, which Mansam complied with, and asked Rin to do it. While watching Toriko, Mansam, Komatsu, and Tina had some La France Bread to enjoy, and Mansam asked if Tina was a friend of Komatsu's. Suddenly, Toriko broke the stadium's fortified acrylic walls with a 5-Hit Punch, breaking it into pieces, and shocking Mansam. The Wolf then gave birth to a pup wolf; that's when everything was clear to Mansam. As the attendees evacuated, Mansam was having trouble dealing with the beasts that escaped, now that the walls are no more. He hit the Gerold a Fry Punch to put it back in its place. Later, when the Devil Serpent went wild in the coliseum, Mansam asked Komatsu if he isn't gonna run, to which Komatsu replies he's not, as he's used to it. Mansam compliments his courage, and comments on how pathetic and powerless the escaping VIP attendees are, and as he was talking, noticed Dohem still sitting in his place, and thus went up to him. Mansam apologized for what happened to the event, and asked that Dohem take refuge quickly, but before finishing his sentence, was struck a hole in his abdomen by Dohem, who turned out to be a GT Robo in disguise. Mansam sent him flying with a Fry Punch, before asking Johannes to halt the laser cannons.

Mansam starts to fight the GT Robo that entered into coliseum. He coverses with the GT Robo saying that he is a fool who was sent as a sample by Gourmet Corp. and he thanks the organisation for sending him such a gift (the Robo's new model). Mansam asks about his objective and operator information, and deduces it's Bei after Bei mentions Mansam looks delicious.

Mansam attacked by Bei

Mansam is stabbed by a disguised Bei.

Bei attacked Mansam with a Knocking that proved useless, as Mansam's knocking sensors weren't there. After increasing in size, Mansam gave the Robo a Fry-Punch Sandwich, which also proved useless due to the Robo's sturdiness. Bei took advantage of the opening, and shoot a laser through Mansam's neck. Mansam went flying down the stadium, but then stood as if nothing happened, laughing with Komatsu, as he'd numbed his pain sensation. He then used an alcohol-like liquid on his body, with which the holes all closed.

Mansam Frypanch Sandwich

Mansam counterattacks.

Mansam comments on how fatal the Wolf's wound is, on how Rin's fragrance is affecting the beasts, and how the wolf and its pup are enjoying a moment of peace together. After that, he explained to Komatsu everything about what a GT Robo is, and then got really angry about what happened, swearing to break the Robo into pieces, and unleashed his Intimidation. He then stopped after seeing that Toriko was more angry, and mentioned how Toriko's anger activated his Gourmet Cells, and explained to Komatsu that it's because the kill was meaningless that Toriko was this angry. Throughout the fight, Mansam gave some comments about how Toriko's arm was at its limit, and how Toriko was taking aim for a final hit. After Toriko defeated Bei, Bei tried self-destructing the Robo in him, but Mansam orders the staff to shoot their lasers, breaking the Robo to its core. He then ordered them to open the hatch to his room, where Rikky delivered a swift finishing blow at Mansam's request.

At night, Mansam invited them for a meal to his Full-Course Menu. The dishes contained different beasts and the meal filled the entire room. Komatsu saw the Bacchus Dragon, a super high class ingredient on a big plate. Toriko mentions that the beast has high quantity of alcohol that gives impression of a mellow brandy and he remarks that it is the chief's main dish. Mansam displays his Menu to everyone, and most of them contained sake.

Mansam remarks that Terry, a Battle Wolf who'd never get attached to anyone, let down its guard to Toriko, just like his Rikky did.

Toriko then remembers about the work the chief wanted him for, and asked Mansam, who had forgotten all about it, and was shocked to remember. He states that the reason the GT Robo came in the first place was to distract them from capturing the Regal Mammoth first. Rin reassures them that Sunny was on his way back, having captured the Regal Mammoth.

In the morning, and while waiting for Sunny, Toriko and Mansam had a small meal. Mansam kept eating Toriko's food while awaiting. Finally, Sunny appears, carrying the Regal Mammoth with his hair.

Sunny threw the huge Mammoth to Mansam, complimenting him for his brute strength, but dissing his ugly catch. Mansam shouted at him not to throw their Treasure Food. Mansam then tells him about Terry being Toriko's partner who'll help them capture the Mammoth. Sunny was confused as to why they're going, but Mansam tells him that what he caught was just a lost child, with the parent being their goal. While Toriko and the others went for the parent Mammoth, Mansam was on his way the the Research Lab to analyze the child; on his way, Johannes called, stating that someone has infiltrated the garden. He went back and found out 3 Robos infiltrated the Regal Plateau. Mansam was more worried about the black Robo, being the same one that appeared in the Puffer Whale cave. He thought if he would enter the Plateau too, he wouldn't make it in time, and thus it'd be better to process the Mammoth for the Jewel Meat, as Toriko and the others might need it if they went against the black Robo. He then talks about the Jewel Meat with Johannes, and says that the parent must be going crazy for its child, making it the most dangerous thing Toriko should look out for. Later, Johannes reported to him that Toriko's team has reached the Mammoth, but with heavy damage. After hours of scanning, Mansam learned that the child doesn't seem to have developed the meat yet, meaning he'll have to depend on Toriko to acquire it. Finally, after Toriko's team captured the Meat, they found the child has returned, guided by Johannes. Later that day, Shigematsu visited Mansam. Mansam asked if he'd brought Zebra with him, and Shigematsu answers that Chief Gras needs to approve.

BB Corn Arc

Mansam and Shigematsu having a drink

Mansam and Shigematsu having a drink.

Shigematsu had come to Mansam because there were Robos left in the Plateau, meaning the Gourmet Corp. would have to come and recover it, and since he doesn't know who exactly will come, needed Mansam. Mansam treated him to some Garana Eel Shochu. It turned out Grinpatch was the one sent for the Robo retrieval, and just as he arrived, found Mansam and Shigematsu in the wait. Mansam used Knocking on himself for a muscle buff, while Shigematsu removed his nose plug, again buffing himself, and mentioned how he'd thought Starjun or Tommyrod would be the ones to come, not Grinpatch. Grinpatch then ignored the Robo and left, as even he knew it'd be impossible to go up against those 2 together.

Century Soup Arc

Mansam was seen in the Gourmet Laboratory discussing the Gourmet Corp.'s new aim, the Century Soup, with Uumen. Mansam wonders if they should send the Heavenly Kings to Ice Hell too, as Toriko was already there. He was worried about whom they will send. Later, Coco is seen entering his room; Mansam mentions how Sunny doesn't respond and how they can't get Zebra out. Mansam requests that Coco go help Toriko, as Toriko'll be in danger all alone when the Gourmet Corp. goes out at full force. Uumen called again a day later, and reported to Mansam that their possibility of acquiring the soup before the Gourmet Corp. is half half. Uumen also inquired about the Heavenly Kings' movement, and Mansam told him that Coco has already started moving, but that he wasn't going straight to Toriko, but first to Setsuno.

Later, when Toriko asked Smile to build him a new house, Mansam, Sunny, Coco, and the others visited. Mansam, who was drunk as always, asked they celebrate the completion of the house. Inside the house, he first ate part of the Lotisukonbu curtain, as he thought it'd go well with his alcohol, and then helped them devour the whole house. Finally, he asks Smile to do him an alcohol pool for him.

Mellow Cola Arc

Mansam and Rei

Mansam and Ray arrive.

After celebrating the Mellow Cola's capture, Zebra asked Komatsu to serve them the Nitro they'd killed. Mansam barged in with Ray and Rapp, saying he'll take charge of the Nitro's body. When Toriko asked if they knew anything about the beast, Mansam answered that they're taking charge in order to investigate it, hiding what he already knew about it. As Zebra tried picking on Rapp, Mansam warned Zebra not to mess with Rapp, as Rapp's of Yosaku's level, the 0th Biotope, and then proceeded to explain about it. After that, Zebra argued that he knew Mansam was lying about not knowing anything about the beast due to Mansam's heart rate and blood pressure's sound changing when he was asked. Mansam knew there's no way around it, and explained about the Nitro. Still, Zebra knew he's hiding more, which forced Mansam to mention that the Gourmet Corp. are involved (the GT Robos resemble it) because the Nitro knew how to acquire GOD, meaning another Gourmet War might ensue.

Toriko's Break Arc

When Toriko goes with Komatsu to Bar Meria, they recall Mansam's words about the Gourmet Corp.; Mansam mentioned that famous chefs have been kidnapped recently with the increased Human World Nitro appearances, meaning Nitro's may either be stealing cooking methods, or just eating chefs. Mansam also told Komatsu not to worry, as Komatsu's still not in the top 100 in the World Chef Ranking.

Meteor Garlic Arc

Mansam and Komatsu giving presents

Mansam and Komatsu distributing food to orphans on Christmas.

As Christmas day approached, Mansam called in the Four Heavenly Kings, along with Rin and Komatsu to help him distribute food to the orphan children of poverty-stricken nations. However Zebra did not show up, but nonetheless the delivery went accordingly and the group was able to bring joy to many lives that night.

Four Beast Arc

After the Heavenly Kings defeated the Four Beast's "Limbs," the Beast's main body is seen rising from the depths of Gourmet Town causing tremors strong enough to topple Buildings. In the midst of the chaos, Chief Mansam is seen cryptically saying, "Well, well, well, this is beyond what we expected. Maybe it is my turn to take the spotlight?". At this point of the arc Mansam's motives are unclear, due to the fact that a shadowy figure stands in the background. However, after the Four Beast's defeat, amidst the elation and euphoria of the populous of Human World, Mansam is seen relaxing at the IGO Headquarters where Director General Uumen points out that if Mansam had "gone wild" the Heavenly Kings would not have gotten their chance.

Cooking Festival Arc

Mansam destryoing GTRobo

Mansam protecting Cooking Fest from the Gourmet Corp.'s GT Robos.

Mansam is first seen in the 1st Biotope alongside Rin as he prepares to leave for the Cooking Festival to aid with security. He is later seen again with a large herd of Giraffebirds engineered by the IGO to act as the extra security. However as soon as they arrive on Cooking Island the Giraffebirds are attacked by the Gourmet Corp.'s giant GT Robos and seemingly decapitated, luckily they managed to regenerate their severed heads and attack the Gourmet Corp.'s army whilst Mansam prepares to fight as well. He is later seen in a larger version of his Knocking Form whilst sitting on dozens of broken giant GT Robos, and then happily taunts the remaining GT Robos and tells them to keep fighting him before he loses control of himself. In a flashback in his old days as a bandit, he was admonished by the President, in which they became great friends. He then proceeds to release his full power that has been kept sealed up in this battle. As the battle rages on, he was shockingly impaled by Shigematsu’s pet. After a short while, he recalled his time as a bandit which was when he suffered his first and only defeat at the hands of IGO President Ichiryu. Ichiryu then asked Mansam to come with him stating that he should make this the first and last time he loses a fight. He then stands up to confront Shigematsu while declaring that he can lose to no one other than the president. He then proceeds to ask Shigematsu if he has some booze. While the battle was unseen, it is clear that Mansam lost the battle and was seen lying on the floor while he noticed Joie's dark presence over Cooking Stadium[4]

After the dreadful event at Cooking Fest and the disaster caused by Midora's Meteor Spice, the IGO began to desperately work harder than ever to ensure that order and stability remained within the Human World, however due to the assassination of the Board of Directors by the traitorous director Uumen Umeda, this left only Ray and Johannes to direct the staff at IGO Headquarters and handle the revival of the recently rescued Chief Mansam. Luckily they were eventually able to restore him with enough liquor to stimulate the regenerative properties of his Gourmet Cells. Upon regaining consciousness, they informed him of the recent events such as the death of the directors and the current food shortage. Mansam then ordered the two to prepare the emergency storage food and have it distributed to all the affected countries in order to protect the food and peace of the world. Ray having been moved by the Chief's words, uttered his name which naturally caused Mansam to wonder if Ray called him "handsome", surprisingly Ray decided to humor the compassionate director and stated that he did indeed call him "handsome".

Billion Bird Arc

So you've finally come back... Toriko...

—Mansam

A year and a half has passed since the events of the Meteor Spice struck the Human World. The Human World, left in devastation, struggled to gain any food due to the environmental disaster causing heavy damages to once fertile lands rendering them to be nothing more but wastelands. When Toriko had arrived from his journey to the Gourmet World and rescuing Komatsu, a member of the IGO quickly informs their president of his arrival. The president whom was informed was none other than Mansam himself, taking his friend Ichiryu's former place as President of the IGO. He then then tells three of the Heavenly Kings to head out. 

Well now this is awkward

Well now...

After Toriko's return Mansam called Toriko to IGO's 1st Biotope, when Toriko arrived he continues to call Mansam "Chief" but the latter corrects him stating that he is no longer the chief but rather the IGO's "Handsome President". Soon after, Mansam, Toriko and Komatsu are joined by the rest of the Four Heavenly Kings as well as Rin. As everyone converses with one another, Rin asks Toriko to marry her, to which Toriko accepts without hesitation. Mansam, Coco, Sunny, Zebra and Komatsu stood in awkward silence for a brief moment before everyone began making a big commotion over the nonchalant proposal. 

Mansam is next seen within the IGO office where he asks his subordinate if the Saiseiya have begun assisting in the restoration of the Human World as well as the IGO. He is then visited Johannes who informs him that the Capture Level Measuring Devices that are designed for the Gourmet World are almost completed. He then states that in order for the Gourmet Age to return to its former glory they will need ingredients in the Gourmet World and in order to do so, the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings is needed. He then takes his Billion Bird Egg drink and states that Ichiryu must be glad that is became part of Toriko's Full Course. He reminisces, yet again, the time when he and Ichiryu found Toriko in a wasteland, struggling to survive. He remembers the moment in more depth and remembers that he was about to eliminate Toriko for having Gourmet Cells and deeming him dangerous, instead Ichiryu adopts him. He states that Ichiryu made the right choice in adopting Toriko and even states that the thoughts of Ichiryu are brought within Toriko's Full Course. 

When the Four Heavenly Kings and Komatsu depart for the Gourmet World, Mansam is next seen simply stating them to get going while he is taking a bath, taking light of the situation at hand. 

AIR Arc

When everyone who bids farewell to the Four Heavenly Kings and Komatsu gather at Toriko Harbor, Mansam himself came and gave Toriko a bag filled with certain equipment, one of these certain equipments was the new Capture Level Measuring device that Johannes had presented to Mansam. Mansam warns Toriko about the harsh reality of the Gourmet World stating that the Gourmet World itself is almost like a creature due to its harsh natures. He then continues to tell Toriko of the plan to get other people of fair power levels to travel to the areas which Toriko an the others have already travelled in due to the aura that the Heavenly Kings will leave traces of, acting as "Territory Markings" that will fend off any monsters and be able to act as a pathway to deliver food from the Gourmet World to the Human World. 

As the group departs towards the Gourmet World, Mansam is seen with the group of people who bid them farewell.

PAIR Arc

Full Course

Every item in Mansam's full course meal is high in alcohol. Anyone who hopes to eat it must have a very high tolerance. Most (if not all) of the ingredients in his Full Course are found in Bacchus Island.
