409:, which may simply stem from Master and the diner falling under Yakuza protection due to the friendship and patronage of Ryu Kenzaki (Yokata Matsushige), a Yakuza boss. In Season 1, episode 1, in Master's initial interaction with Ryu and his underling Gen (Takashi Yamanaka), when Gen becomes aggressive about the menu, Master picks up his chef's knife and holds it behind his back until he believes the two are not a threat. At the end of Season 1, Episode 10, Katagiri (Joe Odagiri), a former high-profile casino kingpin, apologizes for the scar. Master's actual name is never given. He is generally sympathetic, despite the various problems his customers have, though he never gets too involved in their affairs. Generally, he is not directly involved in outside scenes with them, interacting only when they come to his diner. However, there is one episode where Master does venture outside of his diner (Season 1; Episode 10) to confront Gen in Kosuzu's (Toshiki Ayata) bar to turn himself in. Regardless his primary manner of assisting people is to bring them comfort by making food, and to provide advice. His character is similar to a bartender in that he functions as an adviser/therapist as the characters project their insecurities or issues onto him, or discuss and mull over their problems. Most of the time, he is seen cooking, washing dishes, or having a cigarette either in the diner or on the small balcony of his upstairs apartment. He has a few unwritten rules for the customers: There is a three-drink limit per person, as he does not run a bar; there is a three-toothpick limit as well (Season 3, Ep 4); and any arguments must be taken outside. 456:): Yakuza boss Ryu stops by the diner randomly, always asking for Master to prepare dishes from his childhood.

He has a turbulent past with Detective Noguchi, with whom he was a schoolmate and a member of the same baseball team. Although a Yakuza member, he has occasionally shown a generous streak, such as negotiating with 1999: 1989: 1969: 1959: 430:): Frequently addressed as "Chu-san", he is the character in the show that most frequently appears (apart from Master). He is a cheerful older man, who is always seen wearing a blue cap. He occasionally offers advice and harmless banter to the other customers in the diner. Generally, the stories do not involve him, he instead sits in the diner to pass comment and reminisce about his youth. 347:), he always offers to produce any dish that a customer may want, as long as he has the ingredients on hand. Master refuses to cook any dishes that are beyond his skills or overly complicated. Sometimes, customers contribute the ingredients, particularly if they are out of the ordinary or a very specific craving. Master enforces a strict three-bottles-per-person alcohol policy, except on 405:) – the only character to appear in every episode. He is a somewhat mysterious figure; well-regarded for his cooking prowess, his background is largely unknown. He has a visible scar down the left side of his face, implied in one episode to be from a sword attack in a past life; however, its origin is never properly explained.
