Satoshi Isshiki (Shokugeki no Soma)
Shokugeki no Soma is full of characters that could be considered good senpais, but few are as laudable as Satoshi Isshiki.
The most senior upper-classman of the Totsuki Institute’s Polaris Dormitory, Isshiki looks out for all of the school’s outcasts and unaccepted students.
Where others are eager to dismiss them as oddities doomed to fail out of the prestigious academy, he helps them find new ways to better themselves and their recipes.
This isn’t an attitude he does away with when things get tough either. Even as the series progresses and more skilled opponents come after his kōhai, he faces them down, unleashing skills he doesn’t normally let shine unless absolutely necessary.
Granted, he isn’t without his quirks – the biggest of which being that he prefers to work and cook wearing an apron with nothing on underneath it – but it doesn’t change the fact that he’ll always be there for anyone who he has accepted as being part of his school family.
