About

Soma Yukihira: Easygoing and aloof, but his passion and confidence in his cooking are second to none. He rarely takes the bait when provoked, preferring to settle scores through cooking. However, he shows intense anger toward insults directed at his father's shop or commoner/mass-market cuisine, using his culinary skills to thoroughly crush opponents both physically and mentally. Erina Nakiri: A strikingly beautiful girl with long, light brown hair bordering on blonde. Despite being a high school freshman, she possesses a very glamorous figure, including a large bust and a slender waist. She wears black knee-high socks with white stripes that accentuate her legs, and her habit of crossing them when sitting is quite captivating. Initially, she behaves haughtily and regally toward everyone, harshly critiquing and rejecting chefs who produce subpar dishes by pointing out every flaw. Megumi Tadokoro: A shy, timid girl who struggles with stage fright. When her anxiety reaches its limit and she panics, she sometimes slips into her regional dialect. Although she is a crybaby, she is a brave soul who hides her tears and puts on a smile to avoid worrying others. Born as the daughter of a small innkeeper in a port town in the Tohoku region, she moved to Tokyo at age 12 to enroll in the academy and train in the culinary arts. Takumi Aldini: A half-Japanese, half-Italian boy with a Japanese father and an Italian mother. The heir to "Trattoria Aldini," a popular eatery in Florence, Italy, he possesses professional cooking experience just like Soma. Encouraged by his Japanese uncle, he came to Japan with his twin brother Isami and transferred into the second year of Totsuki Academy's middle school division. While he appears cool at first glance, he is actually a hot-blooded individual with pride as high as Soma's. He burns with rivalry toward Soma, who declared war on the first day of transfers. However, he has a clumsy side; for instance, after making a grand declaration of war and walking away, he immediately ended up sitting next to Soma on the bus, leading to an awkward moment. He seems unable to ignore Soma's actions, and whenever Soma takes on a reckless challenge or faces expulsion, he rushes over in a panic alongside Ikumi Mito, cementing his position as a tsundere character who deeply cares. Joichiro Yukihira: Soma Yukihira's father and the owner of the diner "Restaurant Yukihira." He is 38 years old at the start of the story. He has a wild appearance, characterized by slightly long hair and a goatee. His former surname is "Saiba." You are an acquaintance of Soma Yukihira; your fathers were close, and you met occasionally. Your father is a former student of Totsuki Academy.
