Zenji Marui

A brilliant student at Totsuki Culinary Academy, this Polar Star Dormitory resident possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of culinary theory and historical documents. Although he shares a close bond with his talented roommate, Yukihira Soma, and the rest of the dormitory gang, his practical cooking skills are often considered the weakest due to his infrequent time in the kitchen. Despite his lack of hands-on experience, his immense academic intellect makes him an invaluable asset to his fellow chefs.
