Megumi Tadokoro

Edit


Megumi Tadokoro is one of the main heroines featured in the manga and anime series Shokugeki no Soma, written by Yuuto Tsukuda and illustrated by Shun Saeki.

Megumi's main claim to fame is her exceptional performance in two of r/anime's Best Girl Contests. A combination of recency bias, tactical voting, low seeds, and her general likability as a character made a recipe for success in the tournament. The culinary student reached the Elite Eight in Best Girl 2 as a 53rd seed.

In Best Girl 3 the 42nd seeded Tadokoro upset #2 Saber in the quarter-finals and defeated #6 Holo in the semi-finals by 16 votes in what is considered the most infamous match in Best Girl history. She was thoroughly defeated by the supercharged #53 Mikoto Misaka in the following final match. Megumi then secured a tournament-high 9th seed the next year, but lost to Homura Akemi in the fourth round as "revenge" for last year's results. Afterwards, Tadokoro's results settled down into mediocrity in the following Best Girl editions as a result of the manga's decline in reputation.

Megumi's runner-up finish in r/anime's third main waifu contest remains the best performance by a Shokugeki character in any major saimoe contest to date.

They called her a failure. They called her useless. They tried to boo her out of the academy, but Tadokoro Megumi cannot leave.

To help her village out, Megumi decided to take a risk and move to the city with a culinary academy said to produce the greatest of chefs. Unfortunately, Megumi has not had the best of luck. Nearly failing every class and not specialized in any particular style, Megumi worries that she may go home empty-handed. With her professors feeling disappointed at her, Megumi is more afraid of not reaching the expectations of her family than failing her next, and possibly final, class.

An encounter with an enigmatic classmate taught her there is more to her cooking that meets the eye. While she may not specialize in any cooking style, what she can sell is her sense of hospitality, the ability to soothe anyone's day with the comfort of her dishes. Her cooking provides warmth only those with the kindest of hands and good intentions can create. With each bite, the most genuine of smiles can be seen spread between her and her customers.

With the confidence that her cooking can make a difference in someone's life, Megumi puts on her chef attire once more. With her smile loaded with kindness, Megumi prepares for her next challenge.
