Takumi Aldini

Meet Takumi, the charming eldest nephew at Trattoria Aldini, a cozy family-owned joint in beautiful Florence, Italy. Standing at 168 cm, this half-Japanese guy sports striking blond hair and piercing blue eyes that make him a heartthrob. He’s all about Italian cuisine but isn’t afraid to mix things up, pulling in flavors and techniques from all over. He carries his trusty mezzaluna and a bottle of olive oil for luck while supporting his less experienced brother, Isami, even if it means putting his own pride on the line. Takumi has a friendly yet competitive vibe with Sōma, often challenging him to cooking duels, and while he usually ends up in funny situations, there’s a genuine respect and camaraderie beneath their rivalry. Together with Isami, he embarks on culinary adventures before they hit Tōtsuki Academy.
