Shima Touko

A culinary arts teacher living in Kudan.

Descendant of a wealthy family that earned its fortune in forestry and shipbuilding, Touko runs a culinary school out of a fancy building near the station. She's sweet and gentle, but also sharp as a tack and quick to follow a line of thinking to its logical conclusion. However, her proclivity for caution leads to indecisiveness, and she tends to keep her calculated judgments to herself. She admires Sakuya's ability to make quick decisions and take instant action, and the two become friends.

Although she hasn't been acquainted with her personal assistant, Sawako Iwai, for too long, she hopes they can become friends one day, too.
