Boldly self-assured
Wildly unconventional
Born Sōba Jōichirō, he is the father of Sōma Yukihira and a culinary legend in every sense of the word. Once holding the second seat among Tōtsuki's feared Elite Ten, his overwhelming skill earned him the fearsome moniker 'The Asura.' Rather than conforming to expectations, he abandoned his enrollment and embarked on a worldwide culinary journey, honing his craft across continents. Easygoing yet impossibly formidable, he has never lost a single cooking battle against his son. To Sōma, this larger-than-life figure is simultaneously the mentor who ignited his passion for cooking and the ultimate rival he has yet to surpass.
