Akira Hayama Husbando

Akira Hayama is a 92nd Tōtsuki Generation student, Jun Shiomi's assistant, and the winner of the 43rd Annual Tōtsuki Autumn Election. He is proficient in the usage of spices and is known for his incredible sense of smell and mastery of aroma. He was originally as the 9th seat of the Elite Ten Council. After the Régiment de Cuisine, he is now the current 4th seat. Akira has dark skin and long, white hair that is mostly tied in a ponytail when he is cooking. His bangs are neatly swept to the right. He also has green eyes and is considerably tall and handsome. He often wears his school uniform unbuttoned with a shirt inside and a loosened tie around his uniform collar. When Akira cooks, he wears a dark chef's uniform. In his youth, Akira's hair was shorter, but still retained his side-swept bangs. His clothes were much dirtier, considering the living conditions of the neighborhood he grew up in. Akira is a confident and calm student in Tōtsuki. Due to his sharp sense of smell, which rivals Erina's God's Tongue, Akira proudly displays his ability and is not afraid to say that he is the best chef in the school. Like many of his classmates, Akira firmly believes that he will stand on top of Tōtsuki thanks to his abilities and is one of the few people who will stand up to Erina, declaring that he will claim her spot. Akira tends to stay in a neutral mood, rarely showing any sort of shock when confronted by any opposing force, even the likes of Subaru Mimasaka and Ryō Kurokiba. It is stated by Fuyumi Mizuhara that he only thinks about winning, never considering the possibility of losing. He is extremely diligent, always covering up for any sort of mistakes that Jun Shiomi forgets to do around the seminar room. Much of Akira's drive comes from Jun, who found him in the streets of an unknown country. She brought him to Tōtsuki to expand his horizons. Since then, Akira has been thankful and has served as her assistant. He has stated that Jun is the reason why he continues to cook. As such, he even denies a lucrative job at the Haubi Food Company solely because his only purpose is to help Jun, and refuses to stand at the top of Tōtsuki without her help. However, he is not above scolding her for being neglectful and even lectures her when she is irresponsible, despite the fact that she is an adult while he is still only a student. His feeling of debt to all she has done led him to join Central, despite his initial rejection of its ideals. Since being blackmailed into becoming a member of Central, it seems Akira has become far more arrogant, egotistical, and seemingly callous, but still regrets betraying his friends and even Jun. However, his bond with Jun still remains his strongest connection.
