Minko Tsurugi

Minko is an apprentice chef and resident at Kissuisō. She has a very cold demeanor, often telling Ohana to 'die' following their first encounter, though when this is considered too harsh by Ohana, she settles for calling her a balut instead. Though she is hard working, she becomes passive when being scolded for her mistakes and is usually victim to Ohana's mishaps. She displays great jealousy when Ohana is praised by other staff. She attends the same high school as Ohana, Nako and Yuina Minko is very popular among the boys in her class, but she turns down all of their love confessions as she secretly has a crush on Tohru. She discovers that Tohru has feelings for Ohana (although Ohana is oblivious to Tohru's feelings) and, as a result, feels jealous of Ohana.
