Zebra, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, wields staggering physical might and devastating sound-based attacks. His towering 255 cm, 310 kg frame, dark skin, slicked-back red hair, and a half-Glasgow smile scar—stretching from his left lip to his ear—hint at vocal technique overuse. Aggression defines his volatile temperament, seething with contempt for arrogance and dishonesty; he sniffs out deceit by tracking shifts in breath or heartbeat. Yet he follows a ruthless code, sparing innocents and positioning himself as an environmental challenge others must survive.

Raised as an orphan with Toriko, Coco, Sunny, and Rin, he was molded into a warrior under Ichiryuu after being plucked from a destitute nation. Infused with Gourmet Cells, his powers surged, earning him Class-A threat status for acts like nearly killing Match and eradicating invasive species. Incarcerated in Honey Prison for ecological destabilization, he endured daily execution attempts until his release, secured by parole terms requiring the capture of 500 criminals and the discovery of 100 new foods.

On the Mellow Cola mission, he forged an uneasy alliance with chef Komatsu, trading restraint in killing for gourmet services. This pact spurred him to craft a Full Course Menu rivaling Toriko’s, featuring ingredients like Kishin Intestines (Capture Level 91) and the enigmatic Daruma Hermit’s Tribute. In crossovers, such as clashes with Vegeta, his combat obsession dominates. Interactions with Komatsu expose a begrudging tolerance for honesty, sparing the chef after confirming his sincerity through physiological tells.

Post-timeskip, Zebra adopts a fur-trimmed purple coat and rugged combat gear, mirroring his abrasive lifestyle. His rivalry with Toriko persists—a cycle of violent clashes and reluctant acknowledgment of shared growth. Paradoxically, his freedom briefly unified warring nations against him, creating fragile peace. Though his role in *Toriko the Movie: Secret Recipe of Gourmet God!* remains unspecified, his status as core cast endures.
