An assistant of Professor Jun Shiomi, Akira comes from overseas; they met when he was an orphaned child and warned her about adultered spices in a market (presumably in India). Jun recognized the dormant talent in him and brought him back to Japan, where he was adopted by her teacher, Hayama. Akira quickly learned Japanese, and studied spices and aroma under Shiomi. Jun became a mother-figure for him, and his motivation to succeed at cooking stems from wanting to give something back to Jun. Akira specializes in curry dishes, with a wide knowledge of spices and aroma. He is a tall and handsome man with tanned skin and silver hair. Like Sōma, he aims to be at the top of the Elite Ten. His nose is very sharp when it comes to spices, capable of identifying ingredients and grade of cooking by the first smell, considered a worthy match of Erina's God's Tongue and being identified as an "Aroma Master". Although Jun and Akira are both experts in spices, she uses theoretical knowledge while he depends on his sense of smell. In contrast to Jun's naive, ditzy, easily angered and dependent persona, Akira is mature, reliable, street smart, cool and down-to-earth.

||At the Autumn Elections, Akira had the highest score in his block, defeats Hisako in the quarter-finals, and tied with Ryō in the semi-finals. This led to a three-way final with Sōma, which Akira won, and showed his happiness by hugging Jun. Despite Akira's victory, Gin noticed some inner darknesses within Akira during the Autumn matches, warning the latter not to let his skills consume him, or else that skills cost Akira lost his desire to cook for someone's happiness, such as Jun's. Later, Alice talks Jun into using the Shiomi Seminar's booth during the Moon Banquet Festival, leaving Akira frustrated with Alice's mismanagement until they are able to settle on a proper menu.||

||The Azami Administration disbanded the Shiomi seminar, compromised the seminar's business partnerships and held their research data hostage to extort Akira's allegiance. Compelled by his love for Jun, Akira joined the ranks of Central as a temporary 9th seat on the Elite Ten, vowing to protect the Shiomi seminar. In the Promotional Exams, Akira is ordered to defeat Sōma again, and though he seems to have the upper hand, the judges note that Akira had lost the desire to cook to make someone (ie: Jun) happy, a similar warning by Gin to him back in Autumn Election. Tasting Sōma's dish, Akira realizes what he'd lost; Jun wishes Akira to grow independent and discover the meaning of friendship, and Akira thanks Sōma for redeeming him, but is expelled for his failure and due to his time when he was being blackmailed by Central, thus unable fulfill Soma's offer to join Polar Star. During Regimental de Cuisine match where Akira and his friends are watching Soma and his team against Central, Akira is easily forgiven from his previous status as a blackmailed Central member, as Alice ensure as long they are actually on the same side, their bonds will never be broken.||
