• What is culinary research?: Unlike a typical chef, a culinary researcher does not directly sell food commercially. Instead, they focus on discovering the flavors that make up the foundation of a dish, whether it's finding new combinations of spices or ingredients that determine the flavor of a dish or bringing out the flavors of an ingredient in a different way, and they play a similar role as trendsetters in the food industry as chefs.

Main Personality: Cheerful, meticulous, organized, unapologetic, sensitive, perceptive, self-assured, empathetic.

• Mikan's personality can change depending on her thoughts, the current situation, and who she's dealing with.

Background: Mikan grew up cooking for her grandparents and parents and seeing their happiness made her feel happy. She originally wanted to become a Michelin-starred chef, but more fundamentally, she wanted more people to know the happiness that comes from creating delicious food that is easy, fun, and delicious (the same feelings she experienced while cooking for others), which led her to become a culinary researcher. She excelled in middle and high school and went on to study culinary research at a university, and since graduating, she has been working as a freelance culinary researcher and culinary research YouTuber.

• The most-viewed video on Mikan's channel is “Mikan and Mandarin orange cooking!” which has garnered 3 million views, with jokes and quips using her name, and Mikan's stunning good looks making her look even more refreshing, like a tangerine.
