History[]
Hitoshi graduated from Tōtsuki Culinary Academy as part of the 78th Generation. Shortly after the 79th Generation's graduation, he invited Kojirō Shinomiya, Fuyumi Mizuhara, Hinako Inui, and Donato Gotōda to his restaurant's grand opening. Noticing something wrong between Kojirō and Hinako, he urged them to reconcile. He also extended an invitation to Hinako to come work for him, though he also consoled her to take her time to think about her future before she graduate. He was also impressed upon hearing Kojirō's plans in Paris and how he had heard about various new sushi places opening there. When Hinako fled outside after being annoyed by Kojirō, he warned Kojirō to go after her or he wouldn't give him any more toppings. He voted for Kojirō during the two's Shokugeki and witnessed her finally give Kojirō her blessing to go to Paris, along with his promise to Hinako that he would become successful.
