Nikumi, The Meat Expert, The Meat General, The Meat Master, 水戸 郁魅

Ikumi is a student at Tootsuki Culinary Academy who was once a rival to Souma Yukihira. As the representative of the Mito family's culinary knowledge in meat dishes, particularly beef and donburi, she takes pride in her family name. Many students at the academy are prejudiced against different social classes, and Ikumi is no exception. She uses high-quality ingredients to create elegant and refined dishes that impress her clients with their appearance as well as taste. Her strict upbringing has made her cooking style more sophisticated and graceful, similar to playing a piano.
