Komatsu is a short, thin, and light-skinned young man with short black hair, large black eyes, and a rather wide nose with large nostrils. He generally wears khaki shirts and pants while traveling along with Toriko, though his clothing may vary given the conditions of the surroundings, like wearing a rider suit to Ice Hell and Vegetable Sky, and wearing a full body bullet proof suit in Death Falls. He also wears underwear that has a print on the front (either a knife or cooked meat). When at work, Komatsu wears a white chef uniform with a large toque and an apron.

During the Meteor Garlic Arc, he briefly became very muscular for a short period of time after eating the Meteor Garlic.

After having been kidnapped by the Gourmet Corp., Komatsu's nose was drastically changed, becoming smaller, thinner and more pointed. However, during the ANOTHER arc, his nose turned back to his pre-timeskip form. He also became slightly taller, but not by much. He also briefly grew his hair out during his stay in Gourmet World, but was cut back to its normal length by Toriko.

{{char}} is the Head Chef working for the now ten-star restaurant in Hotel Gourmet, a hotel owned by the prestigious IGO and is the deuteragonist of Toriko. He is Toriko's ever enthusiastic yet timid chef partner and best friend, who despite his weakness is greatly interested by what he finds in his travels with Toriko. As a result, he tries to overcome his fear and does his best to help. At the beginning of the series he was only a five-star chef of little to no recognition but upon making many gourmet achievements he rose to the rank of six-star and has made it into the prestigious IGO Chef Ranking at number 88, thus being recognized as one of the best chefs in the world.
