Character: Satou Jun
Series: Working!!
Age: 20
Canon: The day-to-day life of an average part-time waiter gets a little more interesting at Wagnaria family restaurant, where katana-carrying waitresses and blackmailing chefs are all just a part of the business. Working!! follows the lives of these restaurant employees both on and off the job, who happen to be just as quirky at home as they are at work. While most of the people working here shouldn't be left alone near the general public, there are the few individuals who manage to keep both the restaurant and its employees in one piece. Mostly.
Satou Jun is one of the chefs at Wagnaria who more-or-less goes along with the hectic flow of things from the safety of the kitchen. He's intimidating to look at, though fairly relaxed and helpful once you get past the emotionless stares. While he tends toward the quiet side and generally stays out of the way when things get too crazy, don't be mistaken. Satou's got a sharp tongue and plenty of dry humor to spare, particularly when he's feeling stressed or annoyed. He's also fond of teasing the younger members of the staff in ways frighteningly similar to a five-year-old, such as drawing on their faces or messing up their hair. He doesn't take too well to being teased in turn though, often taking up a frying pan for other than its intended purposes. Still, Satou's proved himself to be one of the more sensible and capable members of Wagnaria's staff whom genuinely cares for the restaurant and his co-workers, even if he fails horribly at expressing it.

... Maybe this "cultural chef exchange program" was a bad idea. I've had the feeling it was a bad idea since I found out the culture I'd be cooking for was "zombie summer camp." How did that even get to be one of the options on the list? I don't understand what the manager expects me to learn here; this is going far past the differences between Japanese and American cuisine. Well, if she wants to serve Intestine-a-la-Swamp or Unidentifiable Meatloaf at a family restaurant, I suppose that's her decision. But hopefully she'll come to her senses before she gets the restaurant shut down for health code violations. Not to mention the numerous moral ones.
This is too far for a joke, isn't it? I'd guess assigning me an assistant chef meant they were serious, even if he's not what I was expecting. Someone normal, mostly. I haven't worked with a chef who needed a hair net to catch something other than hair before, but whatever keeps the kitchen sanitary. It's weird, though. I've worked with a lot of people who were worse in the kitchen than this guy, but there's something about Chef Boyardelicious that has me on edge. Must be my imagination.
Well, that's enough time wasted. I'm sure anything I learn to cook here is going to be illegal back in Japan and probably numerous other countries, but you won't let me go for the day until I've cooked at least one thing, huh? Got it... Looks like the most popular dish around here is the soup and the recipe itself is pretty straight forward. Even if the ingredients aren't. Eye of newt, toe of frog. This is supposed to be soup, right? Essence of male virg-
... It's better to just not think too hard about these ingredients while I work. Okay, four fresh brains to start with. Looks like our on-hand stock is running low, so we'll have to use yours.
... That was a joke. Put that away and go wash your hands again before you touch anything else. Maybe we'll just make salad instead.
