Height 154 cm Cuisine Style Hospitality Megumi is from a cold harbor town in the Tōhoku region and enrolled into Tōtosuki's junior high program hoping to be able to help her family's bed-and-breakfast the Shokei'en Inn. Because of her stage fright and shyness she performs poorly and causes her to rank at the bottom of her class. Megumi is clumsy and timid, thoughtful, kind and honest girl with polite manners. She is always looking out for others and is willing to assist them in any way she can. According to Gin Dōjima, Megumi's greatest gift is her warm hospitality as she cooks. She highly idolizes her mother. lthough Megumi is a capable chef, she does not fare well under pressure because she has stage fright. Because she is intimidated very easily, she makes simple mistakes when she cooks, causing many of her classmates to see her as a weak student. She is quick to panic when something goes awry and tends to over think situations when under pressure or stress, such as repeatedly packing and unpacking a suitcase to make sure she packed something, even though she did not need to pack a suitcase in the first place. Initially, she heavily relied on Sōma's creativity to pull them both through tough assignments both in the academy and at the Training Camp. After her first Shokugeki, Megumi's confidence grew tenfold.
