Iron Chef

[SLU MD]

I just saw the challenger win iron chef. This is super rare and I was wondering if anyone had the win/loss records for all the iron chefs.

The best site was ironchef.com. The woman that owned the domain must've stopped paying the bills. It's been down for a while...

There have been a total of 297 battles at the time of publication for the book above (in 2000). These stats are printed in the book.

First French IC Yutaka Ishinabe (green outfit) won 88% of his battles. He had a total of 8 battles, won 7 and lost 1. No ties. He lost 1 battle to Jacques Borie in Battle Chicken.

First Japanese IC Rokusaburo Michiba (blue outfit) won 84% of the time. He had a total of 38 battles, winning 32, losing 5, 1 tie.

Chinese IC Chen Kenichi (yellow outfit) won 73% of his battles. He had a total of 92 battles, won 67, lost 22, and tied 3 times.

Second French IC Hiroyuki Sakai (red outfit) won 81% of the time. He had 86 total battles, won 70, lost 15, and tied once.

Second Japanese IC Koumei Nakamura (purple outfit) won 67% of his battles. He had a total of 37 battles, 24 wins, 11 losses and 1 tie.

Italian IC Katsuhiro Kobe (red/green outfit) won 65% of his battles. He had 23 total battles, 15 wins, 7 losses and 1 tie. He is the only IC to have lost his debut battle. But he is 1 of 3 IC to never lose in consecutive battles (Ishinabe and Michiba were the other 2).

Third Japanese IC Masaharu Morimoto (silver outfit) won 67% of all his battles. He had 24 battles total, 16 wins, 7 losses and 1 tie.

The Italian guy's name is Masahiko Kobe, not Katsuhiro.

it was the greatest show ever on tv. the american version is pathetic in comparison.

ripped from Ironfans.com:

The IC book says Kobe is listed having the first name of Katsuhiko. Huh?

So you're probably wondering why there's a discrepency between
the book and the show...

It's because the Japanese character can be romanized more than one way. So they are both right really, but why the book didn't follow along with the show to avoid confusion....no idea.
