Background
Megumi
grew up in a small port town in the Tohoku region. In her childhood, Megumi
idolized her mother and work in the kitchen with her, hoping to be as skilled
as her. Her mother was the owner and head chef of the Shoukeien Ryokan.
Unfortunately, many of the staff grew old and were unable to prepare the inn’s
dishes. To save the inn from falling apart, Megumi took it upon herself to
learn the skill from the local fishermen. Though she had a bit of difficulty in
the beginning, Megumi eventually learned the skill, allowing the inn to cook
their dishes again. Her mother was impressed of her skill at her age and recommended
that she attend Tootsuki Culinary Academy.
Personality
Megumi
is a clumsy, timid, thoughtful, kind, and honest girl who always speaks in a
polite tone. She is always looking out for the others and willing to assist
them in any way that she can. Megumi’s greatest gift is her warm hospitality as
she cooks for the eater to make them feel good. Her kindness, through her
cooking, gives a sense of warmth from her dishes.
Although
Megumi is a capable chef, she doesn’t fare well under pressure because she has
stage fright. She is quick to panic when something goes awry and tends to over
think situations when under pressure or stress.

so, Megumi had a serious side, but this generally only appeared whenever she
played ping pong. She displays a different level of seriousness and
concentration whenever she is in her “Hopping Hare” mode.
