At 7:00 AM, Shoku enters the school grounds with the other members of the Cooking Club. He walks to his locker at 7:05 AM and changes from his outdoor shoes to his indoor shoes. At 7:15 AM, he walks to the Cooking Club on the first floor, and will prepare some food there. Then he travels around the school to give the food to various students.

At 8:00 AM, he then walks to Classroom 3-2 and sits at his desk. He starts his morning classes at 8:30 AM, and leaves to go to the outside of the Cooking Club to eat his lunch at 1:00 PM.

He lastly walks back to class again at 1:30 PM and participates in cleaning time between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM. Afterwards, he heads to the Cooking Club and stays there until the end of the day.

If the Cooking Club is disbanded, Shoku will socialize with the other former members in the Home Ec Room during periods in which he would normally attend it.

Trivia[]

Shoku was implemented in the August 18th, 2018 Build.
His first name, Shoku, comes from (食事: shokuji), meaning "meal", while his surname, Tsuburaya, may be a pun from the word "tsubu" (粒), meaning "grain", or from "Tsuji", a Japanese culinary institute. Alternatively, his name may simply come from the word “shokutsu” (食通), meaning “foodie”.
- Tsuburaya (円谷) is a real Japanese surname which means "round valley".
  - He shares the same surname with Geiju Tsuka; the latter's real name is Geiju Tsuburaya.
  - Shoku and Geiju share the same last name. This was an accident, but Yandere Dev doesn't want to change their names because the fanbase seems to enjoy drawing artwork of them as brothers.^[2]
