For all of his Shokugeki victories, he always claimed his opponent's most treasured knife and even laughed maniacally when he took one that was a memento from his opponent's deceased mother. To cement his superiority, Subaru improves their dishes until they were undeniably tastier. He spends days and even weeks learning about his next target, finding any reason to provoke them into a duel with him. Behind the mask of honor however, Subaru revels in breaking the spirits of his opponents, usually by mimicking their cooking styles and habits. However, Subaru appears to be honorable and friendly, showing no animosity to Sōma Yukihira despite his infamy in the academy. Subaru initially comes off as an intimidating, punk-ish man due in part from his physical appearance. It was at this moment that Subaru's personality changed into a colder and sadistic form. However, after he shamed his father by making a cake that was more delicious than any his father had made during a customer showcase, Subaru was sent to Tōtsuki. In his youth, Subaru was an average child who sought recognition from his father, hoping that by copying and improving the recipes would garner some praise from him. His cooking attire is a dark chef's uniform. His name is embroidered inside the jacket and has been implied to be his own work. His standard outfit is a large black athletic jacket with chevron designs on a white strip, lining his sleeves. While he still has his under cut, his remaining hair is no longer braided, now free flowing just below his neck. After the Stagiaire, Subaru's hair grew out, now having chin length bangs that frame his face. He also has numerous piercings on his ears. His remaining hair is braided and tied back into a multiple braid ponytail that reaches just above his shoulder blades.

His black hair is shaved on the sides and has deeper shaved hair that form two lightning bolt patterns on each side of his head. His face is noticeably much rougher than most characters, having thick lips and fierce gray eyes. Subaru, as noted by numerous characters, is an extremely tall, fair-skinned, well-built man.
