Characters
Major Characters
- Toki (トキ Toki): A 19-year-old who believes himself to be the last living member of the Golden-Eyed Tribe. The character's name is likely taken from the Japanese crested ibis, a once-prolific species of bird now facing near-extinction.
- Merluza (メルルーサ Merurūsa): A young fortuneteller who claims to be (but is not actually) from Venus. The character's name is likely taken as-is from the Spanish name "merluza", a family of cod-like fish including the hake. Adapted as "Merlusa" in Viz's official release.
Supporting Characters
- Berry (ベリー Berī): A 25-year-old son of a feudal lord who looks younger than he really is and is sensitive about his hair. Berry's name serves as the basis for the name pun series of his respective henchmen. Adapted as "Barry" in Viz's official release.
Miscellaneous
- Golden-Eyed Tribe (金目族 Kinme-zoku): A tribe thought to be extinct. While its members have golden eyes and extraordinary abilities, they do not live as long as ordinary humans. Long ago, a single tribe member took out an entire army of several hundred people all on their own.
Production
Kintoki: Toki of the Golden-Eyed Tribe is one of six one-shots produced for a special "Top of the Super Legend" (トップ・オブ・ザ・スーパーレジェンド toppu obu za sūpā rejendo) series published across the 2010 No. 45 to No. 50 issues of Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan, with notable Jump authors contributing each individual (and unrelated) short story:[1][2]

Notes
Each issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump includes a comment from that issue's respective authors. Toriyama's comment in the 2010 No. 50 issue is as follows:
忙しい中で久しぶりの漫画執筆はホントにキツかった！こんなの毎週描いてる漫画家さん達って偉いなあ。
Doing my first comic in a while in the midst of being busy already was really tough! The cartoonists who draw this sort of thing every week are really awe-inspiring.
