According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a data acquisition unit and an image generation unit. The data acquisition unit is configured to acquire magnetic resonance signals from an object in a data acquisition order having a first regularity and a data acquisition order having a second regularity different from the first regularity. The magnetic resonance signals correspond to a sampling region asymmetric in a wave number direction in a k-space. The image generation unit is configured to generate magnetic resonance image data by data processing including image reconstruction processing based on the magnetic resonance signals and a signal filling to a non-sampling region using a phase conjugate symmetry in the k-space.
