Toki no Roujin (literally "old man of time" or "time elder") is a third party Sanrio character introduced in the Game Boy games Sanrio Timenet: Kako Hen and Mirai Hen developed by Imagineer (Timenet) with support from Inspace and various other groups. He is inspired by Chronos, a Greek deity and Father Time. He is tied in with Sanrio Timenet's themes of past and future (Kako and Mirai), while Monster Zakki/White Zakkī is a personification of (his) world itself.

In Sanrio Timenet: Kako Hen and Mirai Hen

The Toki no Roujin is a mysterious old man who sent an email to the protagonist of Sanrio Timenet requesting that they enter the world of Sanrio Timenet in an effort to capture monsters and repair the Pillar of Time, responsible for the flow of the past, present and future. He appears many times in the game to talk to the player and support them.

He may have created Timenet, with Monster Zakki/White Zakki as a symbolic reflection of it.

He gives the player a choice of one of three starter monsters. In Kako-Hen, these are Pikapochi, Unchinbōya and Hyūpo. In Mirai-Hen these are Chikotto, Erebi and Īpī.

In Space-Net: Cosmo Red and Cosmo Blue

The Toki no Roujin returns in the games Space-Net: Cosmo Red and Cosmo Blue with the family name "Chronos 107". He is found on the Orange Planet of the Rainbow System.

After the player listens to the story of Solare's queen Isis, Chronos 107 tells them about the Taiyou Mirror that will show one's true identity. The player eventually has to battle a fake Chronos 107, who is the disguise of Zonzora.

Chronos 107 has two alternative forms; Saint Chronos and H Chronos.

In Bouken Jikuu Timenet

CAUTION: The following article has received the safety notice. For more information on why this may have received the notice, see Category:Articles which received the safety notice.

The Toki no Roujin appears in the manga series Bouken Jikuu Timenet based on Sanrio Timenet and produced by Timenet. He took the protagonists Tōru and Ēru out of the human world to restore the Pillar of Time.

He wants to support Tōru and Ēru but tends to act inappropriately, and he is shown to get angry. In the first chapter (Act 1, "Mysterious World"), he called Unchinbōya, Hyūpo and Pikapochi idiots for not realizing they are monsters.

He is the subject of crude or distasteful 'humour'. He is shown to drink liquor and is often shown without clothes on or only shorts. Tōru also inadvertently found him on the toilet in the second chapter (Act 2, "Door to a Different World").

Earlier in the second chapter, he is shown to not understand children. Before taking Tōru and Ēru outside of the human world, he startled them by appearing through a wall in their school. He kissed Tōru because his book on kids said that a kiss was a sign of deep affection, but he was confused when he did not appreciate it.

In Act 10 ("To the Future"), Tōru lost his temper with the Toki no Roujin and attacked him.
