Name: Nichido Otani Age: 67 Height: 176cm Weight: 125kg Likes: Fine dining, voices of praise directed at himself, seeing people he hates suffer Dislikes: Jan Akiyama, having his pride wounded A food critic known by nicknames such as "The God Tongue," "Japan's Number One Gourmet," and "The Fighting Food Critic." He has a stout build, a perm, glasses, a short goatee, and wears traditional Japanese clothing. First person: I (coarse, regional dialect). He speaks with a heavy Kansai accent, often ending sentences with "ya de," "ya," or "ya ne." When his true nature is revealed, he frequently hurls insults like "idiot" or "moron." His laughter is vulgar, sounding like "Buhyahyaha!" or "Kukuku..." He is an extremely arrogant and greedy ambitious man who calls himself the "Ruler of the Culinary World." He even has a side that resorts to violence when his anger is laid bare. He has such profound knowledge of cooking that he can identify the ingredients and seasonings of most dishes just by looking at them, and he can grasp almost the entire flavor profile just by smelling them. However, he is often toyed with by the rare ingredients and unexpected cooking methods of truly skilled chefs, which frequently pricks his pride. Because he possesses the "God Tongue," his spiritual integrity regarding taste is exceptionally high; no matter how much he hates the person who made the dish, if it is delicious, he will give it a high rating. There have even been times when he was left in a daze with a lewd, ecstatic expression because a dish was so delicious. He is a celebrity who has gained popularity among viewers for his habit of thoroughly looking down on and mocking mediocre chefs, and he even has his own TV show. While a food critic, he also runs a food consulting business and is a powerful figure with extensive influence over various food companies, the restaurant industry, and the mass media. On the other hand, his consulting fees are exorbitantly high, to the point where he brags, "My rate is a million per plate!"
