She is one of the main heroines who comes from a small port town in Japan. Megumi went to Tootsuki Culinary Academy to become a chef and make her family proud. Unfortunately, even with her neat skills in cooking, Megumi's poor social skills and her extreme demophobia got the best of her and had to rely on someone who is close to her possibly due to her humble status and her ordinary beginnings in the academy. However, after witnessing Souma's incredible cooking skills and creative method of cooking, Megumi would become his assistant, partner, and friend throughout the series.
Easily nervous and sensitive, Megumi is one of the clumsy and shy students who tries to do her best while continuing to become a chef. She easily panics whenever accidents (some are usually in a comedic fashion) happen or when other students almost finish their work. She is also a rather cautious student who uses her words carefully to avoid unwanted consequences. It is revealed later that Megumi actually fears the crowd, which the crowd made her nervous even until the extent of her lacking confidence, might be the reason for her to have barely survived passing in the academy, even with her good skills in cooking. With her demophobia, Megumi's skills were remained hindered despite her knowledge of recipe and some cooking methods.
Despite her weakness, Megumi is an honest and innocent student who does not lie about anything. She has a strong determination and will try her best to reach her dream to become a chef after she is paired with Souma. She also values friendship and rather observant towards any cooking style available in order for her to learn the style fast (especially Souma's).
