Polar Star Dormitory is an interesting dormitory where Souma resides during his time at Totsuki Academy. While the dormitory may look intimidating from the outside, it has several well-maintained rooms and facilities.
In this article, we would like to discuss all residents of Polar Star Dormitory who become Souma's best friends. Who are they? Check out the full discussion below!
1. Satoshi Isshiki
Satoshi Isshiki is Souma's upperclassman and his friends at Polar Star Dormitory. He has a mature demeanor and is able to take care of the other dormitories. However, he has a silly habit, as he is often seen wearing an apron without clothes.
As a chef, Isshiki has impressive skills, as he is a member of the Totsuki Elite Council. When Souma first arrived at the dormitory, Isshiki's cooking impressed him.
2. Zenji Marui
The next resident of the dormitory is Zenji Marui. He may seem nerdy and bookish, but he possesses a vast knowledge of the culinary world. He could be likened to a walking encyclopedia.
Marui loves academic research to create delicious dishes. However, he is very weak when it comes to stamina. He also tends to get angry because his room often serves as a gathering place for his friends.
3. Shun Ibusaki
Shun Ibusaki is quiet and very mysterious. He only speaks when necessary. However, his culinary skills are not to be underestimated.
Ibusaki specializes in smoking. He is often seen gathering wood for fuel for smoking. He often conducts experiments in his room, infuriating the dormitory guard.
4. Yūki Yoshino
In contrast to the quiet Ibusaki, Yūki Yoshino has a cheerful and childish nature. She likes to liven up the atmosphere when her friends gather. She also seems very close to Sakaki.
Yoshino specializes in meat dishes, particularly venison and chicken. She is also responsible for caring for the animals kept in the dormitory. The animals often get loose and cause trouble.
5. Ryōko Sakaki
Ryōko Sakaki can be considered a good older sister to the dormitory residents. Although she is in the same year as her friends, she has a calm and mature demeanor. She is also very loyal to her friends.
Sakaki is skilled at fermenting koji. She also has a special room for fermentation. She uses the fermented product as an additional ingredient in her cooking.
6. Shōji Satō
Shōji Satō has a very reckless and delinquent nature. He often gets into silly arguments with Aoki. They also enjoy hanging out in Marui's room during their free time.
Despite not having a specific specialty, Satō is a skilled chef, having managed to survive the fierce competition at Totsuki Academy. He also often plays a supportive role during his friends' competitions.
7. Daigo Aoki
Similar to Satō, Daigo Aoki also has a rough and rambunctious personality. He often speaks in an impassioned manner. Although he often bickers with Satō, they are essentially friends who support each other.
Aoki's cooking skills are roughly on par with Satō's. However, he is certainly inferior to the other residents who are more skilled than him.
8. Megumi Tadokoro
When she first appeared, Megumi Tadokoro seemed like a terrible cook and easily became nervous when cooking. Unexpectedly by her friends, she possessed impressive talent and continued to improve over time.
According to his account, it took Tadokoro three months before the dormitory caretaker allowed her to become a resident of Polar Star Dormitory. She was very impressed with Souma, who was able to move into the dormitory so quickly.
9. Souma Yukihira
Like his father before him, Souma Yukihira also became a resident of the Polar Star Dormitory. When he first arrived at the dormitory, his cooking impressed the dormitory warden in one try.
Souma was then allowed to live there. He occupied room 303, the same room his father had once occupied. During his time there, he learned many valuable lessons from his friends.
10. Erina Nakiri
Although only temporarily, Erina Nakiri also became a resident of the Polar Star Dormitory when her father returned to Totsuki Academy. Her arrival was warmly welcomed by Souma and his friends.
During her time there, Erina began to understand the importance of friendship. She also helped the dormitory residents when they faced difficulties, such as when they were about to take the promotion exam.
11. Fumio Daimidō
Fumio Daimidō is the dormitory mother of the Polar Star Dormitory for many years. She had very strict rules for the students. She'll let anyone stay at the dormitory if they can cook her delicious food.
Despite her bluntness, Fumio is actually kind and caring. She also enjoys telling stories about the glorious times when Joichiro and his classmates lived at the dormitory.
