Subaru Mimasaka

Оригінальне ім’я: 美作昴

A heavily built student who is introduced during the Autumn Election. Despite his look, he's smarter than he appears and has a strong sense for details. He has no specialty, but painstakingly researches and copies the chefs he faces, predicting the exact dish they will make and marginally improving upon it. He loves intense cooking-duels and totally defeating his opponent, so he always bets his opponent's precious tool at Shokugekis. He is a gracious host and not averse to having a casual chat with future opponents. However, before and during a match he will mock, belittle and set out to destroy his opponent. ~!Subaru first appears during the Autumn Election preliminaries, taking the fourth spot from Zenji Marui and Shun Ibusaki. He insults Takumi and his brother, provoking Takumi to bet his mezzaluna, and having previously stalked Takumi and investigated his preparations, Subaru copies Takumi's dish with a slight improvement. Although the judges dislike his actions and methods, Subaru's dish is judged superior. This leads Sōma to challenge Subaru to give back all 100 cooking tools he'd won, against the total defeat of Sōma quitting being a cook. Sōma circumvents Subaru's research method by waiting until the competition starts before thinking of ways to improve his dish, something Subaru didn't believe was possible. After his defeat, Subaru tries to leave Tōtsuki and quit as a cook but Sōma convinces him to continue his studies. Subaru later appears when Sōma asks for assistance at his stall during the Moon Banquet Festival. In preparation for this, Subaru went to the Yukihira diner in order to do his "image training", and was able to accurately copy Sōma, allowing the booth to increase production and sales.!~ ~!During Azami's regime on "Promotional Exams", Subaru started out as neutral, until the third half where most of Soma's rebel friends except Takumi and Megumi are expelled, Subaru joins the rebel team led by Erina, as its 8th member during Regimental de Cuisine match as a mean to settle his debt he repaid to Sōma.!~ (Source: Wikipedia)
