"Mister Ajikko" is a manga series, written and illustrated by Daisuke Terasawa.Yoichi Ajiyoshi and his mother, following Mr. Ajiyoshi's passing, run Hinode Eatery, a restaurant, together in Tokyo. On one fateful day, Genjirou Murata, head of the Ajio Company, the largest conglomerate of chefs and cooks in Japan, pays a visit to Hinode Eatery and meets Yoichi. After ordering a dish there and feeling impressed by his culinary prowess, he gives a copy of his business card to Yoichi and invites the latter to pay a visit to his company. Piqued by this unusual invitation, Yoichi obliges, and, from then on, he'd meet many others who share a passion and talent in cooking, many of whom become his challengers and/or friends through such occasions, honing his own culinary skills at the same time.This series was included in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine from 1986 to 1989, with its anime counterpart running from October 1987 to September 1989.The trope contest... BEGINS NOW! | |

Mister Ajikko (Manga) / int_23eb99cc | comment |
Voted Off the Island: Replace "island" with "contest", and this is how the Player Elimination mechanism in the annual Cooking Duel hosted by the Ajio Company works, as a panel of judges being randomly selected from the general populace serve as taste-testers and the members of the panel vote out the contestant whose dish they consider to be worst among all they had sampled at the end of each round. | |

Kid Hero: Yoichi is the main protagonist of this series. While his exact age is not clearly stated, he's always drawn as a minor throughout the run of the series, and some other character(s) would note him as a teenager later on in the series. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
Mister Ajikko (Manga) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Since almost all conflicts in this series are resolved with Cooking Duel, quite a few of which end with Defeat Means Friendship or Break the Haughty at least, and whatever promise the losing side made before said Cooking Duel started will keep it afterwards, whether by themselves or with additional prodding, this series is firmly rooted at the side of idealism. | |

Skewed Priorities: At one point during the ramen Cooking Duel, Yoichi points out in a whisper about one of the contestants and Marui, who shows up alongside Genjirou Murata as spectators at the time, being Identical Stranger to one another. Once the message is relayed to Marui, he reacts with Face Fault. | |

Gag Nose: Marui has a large, round nose. He doesn't appreciate Kazuma addressing him as "big-nosed old man", however, with Kazuma doing so inadvertently setting Marui up as something of a Sitcom Arch-Nemesis to him (Kazuma's brusque and mouthy demeanor does him no favor, either). | |

Mister Ajikko (Manga) / int_4e3decd5 | comment |
A Friend in Need: Quite a few story-lines culminate in Cooking Duel because Yoichi finds out about some former business associates of his father's who need help maintaining a food-related business. The few story-lines that don't result in him getting involved in some Cooking Duel are mostly the ones where someone Yoichi knows needs help from him (e.g. having health-related issues and so needs him to make delectable dishes to help them get better). | |

Sitcom Arch-Nemesis | |
Mister Ajikko (Manga) / int_5860c090 | comment |
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Downplayed because no openly hostile exchanges have ever occurred between Marui and Kazuma, but Kazuma's brusque and mouthy demeanor simply rub Marui the wrong way as the result of Kazuma addressing Marui as "big-nosed old man" shortly after they meet for the first time. Marui, in turn, does not favor Kazuma in any subsequent Cooking Duel hosted by the Ajio Company where Kazuma is among the contestants and Marui himself is present as a spectatornote (as an example, during one such Cooking Duel where Yoichi and Kazuma both participate later in the series, Marui actually covers his ears while there are people cheering for Kazuma, which he never does when the cheering goes for anyone else). | |

Player Elimination | |
Mister Ajikko (Manga) / int_5c15399f | comment |
Player Elimination: The annual Cooking Duel being hosted by the Ajio Company eliminates the contestant that a panel of judges being randomly selected from the general populace determines to be the worst performer, one at a time, in a similar fashion to musical chairs, until only one contestant (or, in the case of both remaining contestants being judged as equally good, two) would remain as champion(s). | |

Mister Ajikko (Manga) / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: Cooking is definitely treated as a very BIG deal. More specifically, Yoichi gets very passionate about it, with his mother (at least once) having to turn his peers away when they come asking for him to play with them because he's too focused on cooking at the time for socialization. | |

Here We Go Again!: One Story Arc later in the series starts with a young woman Yoichi meets at a campsite getting angry at her boyfriend because he promised to bring food in advance but forgot to do so until well after the fact. Yoichi spends the whole Story Arc helping them out by getting food sources and cooks for themnote (this is one of the few story-lines with no Cooking Duel taking place throughout), only for it to end with her boyfriend scarfing down nearly all of the food Yoichi manages to scrounge up and cook for them, leaving little more than broth for her and Yoichi, and the woman chewing her boyfriend out for his act of inconsideration for anyone else. | |

I Gave My Word: In any given Cooking Duel, those who promise to Yoichi about what they'd do should they lose to him will do precisely what they said beforehand, though some need additional prodding than others before committing to their vows. Nonetheless, they ultimately keep their promises, which is just one element that helps to cement this series on the side of idealism. | |

Posthumous Character: Yoichi's father overlaps this trope with Disappeared Dad, as he's been dead for years before the series begin, though he still manages to remain relevant due to the combination of the Hinode Eatery under his management back when he was alive (before his death caused the ownership status to be passed on to his wife), Yoichi having gained some cooking knowledge through him, and several of his friends/associates who received help from him in the past needing help in the present time and triggering Yoichi's drive to help A Friend in Need. | |

Yoichi goes to confront the landowner, culminating in a Cooking Duel challenge in which Mrs. Ajiyoshi serves as Yoichi's assistant and that ends in Yoichi's victory. It's also where Yoichi meets Kazuma Sakai, who serves as his Foil, for the first time. | |

The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: One Story Arc begins with Yoichi's mother watching a cooking show where a middle-aged lady talks about the types of food kids can enjoy, but Yoichi reacts with a dissenting argument not long after he starts watching. When his mother scrutinizes him on the motive for his dissenting opinion, he brings up the son of the show hostess, who attends the same school Yoichi himself goes to and looks terribly malnourished, as proof.note Not long afterwards, Yoichi invites the show hostess's son over for dinner, and the boy confides to Yoichi that one of the ladies studying under his mother cooks for him, but the pupil is not as good at cooking as his mother is. Shortly thereafter, Yoichi and the show hostess have a Cooking Duel, with her son as the judge. It's only after the Cooking Duel concludes that she realizes her being Married to the Job has been bad for her son's well-being. | |

Cooking Duel | |
Mister Ajikko (Manga) / int_cdc710ad | comment |
Many a challenger who doesn't take Yoichi seriously as a culinary rival bases their attitude on Yoichi being unmistakably a minor. Naturally, Yoichi proves them wrong when the Cooking Duel takes place. This happens more so early on in the series, when Yoichi is still unknown in the culinary circles. Once Yoichi's culinary reputation starts building up, this trope occurs much less often. | |

Teen Genius: If Yoichi doesn't qualify as one at the start of the series, he certainly does later on with some other character(s) noting him as a teenager, and he's certainly a prodigy in cooking. Kazuma, due to being noted to be around the same age as Yoichi and a culinary prodigy in his own right, also qualifies. This is one of the ways he serves as a Foil to Yoichi. | |

One contestant in the ramen Cooking Duel bears a strong resemblance to Marui (with some differences, such as hairstyles and eyebrow shapes) despite the two of them being strangers to each othernote , which Yoichi points out to Genjirou Murata in a whisper, who then relays the message to Marui, during said Cooking Duel. | |

Brick Joke: Early in a steak Cooking Duel contest hosted in a beef conference that Yoichi signs up for, in which the material of choice is imported lean beef with no fat and the sponsor announces that the winner of said contest will receive a one-year supply of beef, he asks for a tip about how to soften foodstuff from a market owner who sells hand-harvested black soybean that he personally softens before selling. The market owner confides the secret to Yoichi after learning that Yoichi intends to apply such a method on imported lean beef and his son nudges him into revealing the method to Yoichi, and Yoichi runs home to put it to the test, though not before the market owner's son calls out after Yoichi saying that Yoichi should treat them for steak should he win the contest. After the steak Cooking Duel concludes with Yoichi as the winner, the market owner's son shows up behind Yoichi to request for some free steak. | |
