村田源二郎
A character from [[Mister Ajikko]]. Also known as Ajiou (lit: Emperor of Taste), he the head of the eponymous Ajiou Group, a cooking association that spans all of Japan.

He is an elderly man with extremely refined tastes, able to quickly discern the methods and flaws in a chef's cooking. At the start of the series, he recognized [[Ajiyoshi Youichi]]'s great talent and invited the child prodigy to join their group. Since then, he has been a supporter of Youichi, often acting behind the scenes to help him in various ways.

His catchphrase is yelling out [i]Umai zo![/i] (Delicious!) whenever he eats something particularly good. This is often accompanied by overly dramatic beams of light shooting out of his mouth.
