* GentleGiant: A total sweetheart for a guy his size, at least when his SplitPersonality isn't in effect.
* TheGlassesComeOff: He's got a SplitPersonality, and no points for guessing what the visual cue is! And all it takes is putting his glasses back on him to switch him back to nice!mode.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Has blond hair and is a NiceGuy, unless when his glasses are removed.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Main victims are Haruka and Syo.
* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:He has a split personality named Satsuki, who is Natsuki's complete opposite: A HotBlooded {{Jerkass}}.

Indeed, he works with normal ingredients, he creates good (and even pretty) food.
