Koujirou Shinomiya

A former top-ranked member of the Elite Ten, this red-haired chef earned the nickname "Legumes Magician" for his mastery of vegetables. As the proprietor of the French-Japanese fusion restaurant Shino's, he initially struggled in France when his staff sabotaged his ambitious recipes. To survive financial hardship, he adopted a ruthless, uncompromising leadership style. While this stubbornness secured his professional status, it ultimately hindered his culinary growth during his journey in the Shokugeki no Soma – Etoile spinoff.
