Erina Nakiri Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma - Figures
Among Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma fans, no girl has a larger following than Erina Nakiri. Erina spends the series going from antagonist to damsel in distress to the unbeatable chef she was always destined to be. And it’s no secret her physical beauty adds to her popularity in the series and in the real world. Erina figures sell out and see more re-releases than all the other girls in the series combined. Usually, these figures display her soft skin and curves and her more vulnerable side. Still, that doesn’t mean there aren’t fans who want to fall under harsh criticism straight from the “God’s Tongue” herself. These three figures show the most beautiful and revealing portrait of the goddess Erina-sama: “Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma Erina Nakiri Bunny Ver. 1/4 Scale Figure,” “Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma Erina Nakiri 1/8 Scale Figure (Re-Run),” and “Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma Erina Nakiri Non-Scale Figure.”
Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma Erina Nakiri Bunny Ver. 1/4 Scale Figure
Fans of ultra-suggestive figures get their ultimate wish with this 1/4 scale Erina--in a bunny costume. The 1/4 scale makes for a larger replica of Erina’s fan-beloved proportions. The main bodice, bowtie, and bunny ears have a vinyl-like appearance but the real kicker is in the accessories. The fishnet tights use real fabric for a more lifelike effect. Her tail is obscured by her long, golden locks, but her angry and embarrassed expression is already cute as a bunny. Even buyers who aren’t fans of the series agree Erina’s is one of the best bunny figures on the market.

About Erina Nakiri
Gifted with the “God’s Tongue,” a high sensitivity to taste that allows her to identify every ingredient in a dish, Erina Nakiri has been raised as a high-class chef since childhood. The Nakiri family dominates Japan’s culinary world. This influence extends to the elite Totsuki Academy: the cooking school where Japan’s best young chefs are trained to perfection. Erina begins the series arrogant in her abilities and opposed to the series protagonist, Yukihira Soma. Over time, Erina learns more about food and flavor than formal education could ever give her. While she and Soma grow closer, she can’t help but remember a chef she met and loved as a child. When she discovers this chef is Soma’s father, and that together they need to save Japan’s chefs from her tyrant father, Erina grows in a way that made fans fall in love with her all over again.
Other Important Characters in Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma
Yukihira Soma is the series protagonist and initially Erina’s greatest threat at Totsuki Academy. Soma has no interest in becoming a famous chef, he just wants to run the family restaurant. But when his father takes off he tells Soma he’ll never run the shop--unless he graduates from Totstuki. Using his unique skills forged in customer service, Soma shakes up the rigid world of Totsuki. And, maybe he’ll become a world-famous chef along the way.
Hisako Arato is Erina’s best friend, assistant, and possibly biggest fan. Hisako’s family has served the Nakiri family for generations, and on the surface, she appears to be a servant. However, Hisako has her own talents, fierce loyalty, and a glimpse into the truly sheltered little girl Erina is inside. With Hisako’s help and shojo manga, Erina learns more about the world and herself.
Megumi Tadokoro is the meek girl from the countryside everyone expected to flunk out of Totsuki. Until she met Soma, she believed it too. Megumi’s warmth in her cooking and personality helps even the most jaded characters come out of their shell. Her friendship with Erina crucially seals an important victory for the students of Totsuki against Central.
