Appearance[]

Tom DesignsTom Expressions

Tom is a tall and muscular dark-skinned man with untamed black hair who is commonly seen wearing white pants and a white shirt with an oriental dragon design on the back. He is always seen wearing a yellow cap with the words "GOURMET" printed on it and a pair of pink-rimmed sunglasses with purple lenses. Another notable feature is a long scar running down his left eye (the origins of it though have yet to be revealed). In Episode 2 of the anime and in the Toriko 3D Movie, Tom had lighter skin color and brown hair. In the Toriko Jump Special OVA he still had dark skin and black hair but his sunglasses were gold-rimmed and had black lenses and his cap was blue and white instead of yellow, he also had a blue shirt instead of white.

Personality[]

He is a brave man who never appears to show fear even in dangerous locations like the Baron Archipelago and always has a cool and calm disposition. He is also a kind person, an example being his willingness to help his friends and others when in need, such as when he offered to give Komatsu ingredients for when he was making Century Soup.

The anime shows that he is somewhat insecure without his sunglasses and will immediately try to cover his face if they are taken from him.

Abilities[]

He is a skilled sailor and can easily travel through rough seas on his ship without any inconvenience and his ship appears to be incredibly endurant, able to break through jagged rocks with ease. He can also tell how much someone weighs the moment they set foot on his ship.
