Match 2: It will be a clash of Iron Chef Japaneses as the new Iron Chef Japanese, Jun Kurogi, will take on his predecessor, the First Iron Chef Japanese, Rokusaboru Michiba.
Match 3 will feature Iron Chef Wakyia, but as of post time, not much information is given.

Sorry for the double post, but we can add another country to the Iron Chef representations. India will be joining Masaharu Morimoto(USA), Pongtawat "Ian" Chareomkittichai(Thailand) and Rokusaburo Michiba(Japan) to take on the modern Iron Chefs. Who this guy is, I don't know.

These battles will be available for download from my site some time tonight. (I have a concert to go to tonight, but I will get them uploaded as soon as I get home.)

I think this is the same guy, but Iron Chef Ian Chalermkittichai challenged Mario Batali back in 2007 on Iron Chef America. He lost in Battle Lentil.
Video here (excuse the watermark):

I've yet to watch Morimoto vs. Wakiya, but I was very highly entertained by the first two battles...
Iron Chef Ian is a nutjob. That's all I'm going to say. The Ian from ICA and the Ian from ICT are like night and day.
Also, Kurogi just earned major brownie points in my book for what he did for Michiba at the top of the battle. Michiba making his appearance with his entourage of Sakai and Chen was also pretty epic.

I enjoyed it so much. But I wish they should have comment about Sakai's world's fasted apple peeling skill at the apple battle... how many people wanted to watch flush back video of his legendery skill at the introduction!...don't you think??
Sorry, I'm Miwa posting from Japan. I'm sorry my English ability isn't enough good to join here. So I was confused if I might be here but I'll try! I hope I can enjoy sharing info with you all and also help reading some Japanese for the world'S fans! I'm enjoying the site Iron Chef Collection and you tube video related with IC other country's version, too.^^
Thank you very much if you don't mind my participation and sorry if not, in that case pls feel free to ignore my comment.

Ian Kittichai is also the challenger in the new ICUSA with a battle against Forgione.
Enjoyed the special and I thought the Apple Confront was really excellent. I respect Michiba-san for his contributions to the show and to Japanese cuisine in general, but I think there is too much focus on him.
I'm dying to see a vegetable as a theme. Is the new show's producer allergic to them?!
The concept of selecting a fourth tetsujin from one of the early challengers appears to be a disaster. Time for a rethink on this...
Overall, I'm impressed with the level of culinary performance. It's equivalent to the creative glory years of the original show (1995-1997). Chef Wakiya is particularly impressive - technique, vision, presentation.

Come to think of it, this may be the first time I've seen Michiba break his usual stonefaced expression when the theme ingredient is revealed.
