Eishi Tsukasa, a third-year Tōtsuki Culinary Academy student and former First Seat of the Elite Ten Council, sports stark white hair, piercing icy blue eyes, and a signature habit of draping his uniform jacket over his shoulders—traits aligning with his moniker, the "White Knight of the Table." His culinary philosophy revolves around suppressing personal flair to amplify ingredients’ innate qualities, an approach paradoxically revealing his identity through obsessive precision. Though radiating unshakeable confidence in his craft, he harbors social anxiety and introversion, often retreating from attention despite his elite stature. This duality traces to childhood habits of prioritizing perfection over social norms, exemplified by commandeering a peer’s paint for an art project. Middle school saw him labeled a "teacher crusher" for hounding instructors with relentless critiques, a habit that forged his coerced camaraderie with Rindō Kobayashi. Aligned with Azami Nakiri’s Central faction, he champions authoritarian reforms at Tōtsuki, viewing them as tools to elevate culinary excellence. His advocacy stems from disdain toward diners who praised his dishes without grasping their laborious craftsmanship. This distrust surfaces during the Moon Banquet Festival, where he micromanages every detail of his high-end booth, refusing to let others handle his creations. His initial dismissal of Sōma Yukihira softens after their Shokugeki clash, reluctantly acknowledging the rival’s potential. Later arcs reframe him as an ally during the BLUE competition, pitting him against underground chefs like Asahi Saiba. Though defeated, he embraces collaborative rivalries and supports peers, signaling a tempered elitism. His arc balances growth—recognizing others’ value—with an unwavering commitment to self-effacing culinary ideals, cementing his complex tension between perfectionism and evolving perspectives.
