Character

Shinobu Maehara

Shinobu Maehara is an extremely shy young girl. She is in seventh grade at school, but because of her shyness she does not know her fellow pupils well. She has incredible culinary skills, possibly learned from her mother who had run a restaurant, or possibly she is just naturally adept. She consistently downplays her ability, but is pleased when her cooking is praised by the Hinata residents - especially when Keitaro says "My life would sure be a lot nicer if I could look forward to eating great food like this every day". She has a tendency to sometimes put clothes that were supposed to be washed in the pot, and food ingredients in the washing machine (called "wash curry"), although she has only been shown doing this twice.
