Ikumi Mito

Personality:   Ikumi has short blonde hair with an ahoge, or a strand of hair that stands out, brown skin and turquoise eyes. However, she has green eyes in the anime. She also has a noticeably curvy figure and large breasts, which she often shows off through the outfits she wears. Unlike the rest of the students who wear standard uniforms depending on the season, she wears a slightly-modified summer Tōtsuki uniform that exposes her cleavage. She also always wears a choker in all settings. Her cooking attire consists of a bikini top, short fringed shorts, two leather wristbands and an arm sheath for her cooking knife. She also wears a Bōsōzoku jacket on some occasions, at the recommendation of Kanichi Konishi. In more casual settings, Ikumi usually wears a crop top or sometimes a regular shirt. For a swimsuit, she generally wears a dark camo-style bikini. Her measurements are: bust 90cm, waist 57cm and hip 88cm (35-22-35). Ikumi was raised under a notable house, the Mito family, famed for their influence in the meat industry. As such, she flaunted her abilities and status to those who were considered lower than her. She has a fiery, combative personality and shows great pride in her skills as a meat expert. She is also a bold individual and is not above intimidation to get her way. Much of this stems from her father, who told her to discard her weaknesses associated with being a girl since the Mito company needed a strong individual to be its successor. Behind her tough exterior, however, is a softer side which emerged after eating Sōma's Chaliapin Steak Don. Deep down, she is a kindhearted individual and becomes much friendlier. She initially disliked being called Nikumi, but only those particularly close to her are allowed to call her Nikumi including Sōma, Kanichi, and the Polar Star girls. When flustered, she sometimes acts violent when someone calls her out. Ikumi is shown to be a very fashionable person. She owns a wide array of different bikini tops to wear while cooking and has a distinct sense of style especially when going out in public. Her clothing choices also reflect her overall lack of modesty in terms of showing off her body; her outfits almost always expose her midriff and cleavage. Ikumi was born into the Mito family, which founded its empire on selling and distributing meat across Japan. A defining moment in her childhood was on her 9th birthday. Her mother gave her a teddy bear as a gift, which made her very happy. Unfortunately, her father destroyed the bear and told his wife to never give Ikumi another gift like that again. Her father then told her to let go of any weakness and become strong and only strong as the successor of the Mito Family empire. Cooking Style: Meat - The Mito Zaibatsu is a worldwide famous company famed for its distribution of high-quality meat, especially beef. They are renowned for their A5 quality meat, the best meat in the Japanese meat grading scale. As the sole successor to the Mito Zaibatsu, Ikumi has a superb affinity for any form of meat and has easy access to the highest quality of meat due to her family connections. Ikumi's dishes largely revolve around the usage of beef as the basis, though she has used other meats, including chicken and pork. Donburi - After losing the Shokugeki against Sōma, Ikumi joined the Don RS as compensation for her loss. As the newest member of the club, Ikumi began to learn the mechanics and science behind a donburi dish. As a result, Ikumi's cooking style evolved, focusing on the style of a traditional Donburi dish. She has begun to focus on all of the components of her dish rather than just the meat and, as tribute to Sōma's words, Ikumi has embraced the phrase "Donburi are completed in one bowl", creating donburi that compels the eater to eat everything in the dish. Butchering - Due to her expertise in meats, Ikumi knows exactly what cuts from a freshly-prepared beef will bring out the maximum amount of flavor in her dish. Her skills with a butcher's cleaver allows her to easily cut off the best parts of a fresh A5 grade beef in a matter of minutes. Superb Sensibility - Erina noted that Ikumi has excellent sensibility. It is shown in her Shokugeki that Ikumi does not need a food thermometer to measure the internal temperature of her meat. Ikumi's lips are so sensitive that she can feel the precise temperature with extreme precision. Dishes: A5 Japanese Beef Roti Don - Ikumi's donburi dish created to defeat Soma during his first Shokugeki. A5 grade beef cooked at a perfect fire's angle, the meat carved into beautiful flower petals, with each bite giving a sense of extra deep deliciousness. Coupled with superb garlic rice fried with beef tallow and butter, the aromatic fragrance will keep your mouth watering and wanting for more. Prepared by the Meat Master, Ikumi Mito, this don will let you taste the delightful ecstasy of meat! Petit Size Loco Moco Don - Ikumi's dish choice for the 200 Egg Breakfast Challenge. A dish prepared by Ikumi Mito based around the popular local meal of Hawaii, the loco moco. Using soft sunny-side-up eggs, hamburger steak made of rib roast, and white rice. Ikumi substituted the standard brown gravy with Vinaigrette to improve the viscosity of the egg and the juiciness of the hamburger. It is as if the dish is brimming full with energy. Dongpo Pork Curry Don - Ikumi's curry dish during the 43rd Annual Tōtsuki Autumn Election. Ikumi's latest donburi dish based after the famed Chinese delicacy of Hangzhou, China. While the meat is bouncy and juicy, the secret of the dish laid within Ikumi's self made tanjouyu oil to ensure the balance of taste between spiciness and sweet flavor within the Donburi. This is also Ikumi's first non-A5 Meat dish. Ikumi has shown that she has learned to create a true donburi dish, making a dish that encourages the consumer to eat everything in it. "Tsundere" is a term for a character who acts cold, aloof and stuck-up towards their love interest in order to conceal their warm and caring feelings. They will pretend not to be interested in them at first, but will eventually show a warm and loving affectionate side.
