And what about the big man of the Kitchen Stadium campus...Morimoto-San! Looking good with his ponytail! And he wears glasses too! Wooohoo! Oh boy what an impressive Iron Chef. His sushi and sashimi menu on his website at www.morimotorestaurant.com keeps his cooking spirit alive! He's the culinary martial artist!

Morimoto's Bio
Born in Hiroshima, Japan, Iron Chef Japanese Masaharu Morimoto trained in a sushi restaurant before moving to the US in 1985 at the age of 30. After working in several restaurants, he joined the highly acclaimed Nobu restaurant in New York City.
Morimoto polished his craft in New York's melting pot and became a state-of-the-art world chef. His cutting-edge cuisine attracted the attention of Iron Chef's producers, who invited him to become a Japanese Iron Chef. His skill, which outshines the trademark diamond stud in his left ear, has been recognized all around the world. While his cooking has Japanese roots, it's actually "global cooking" for the 21st century. His unique fusion cuisine takes advantage of Japanese color combinations and aromas and uses Chinese spices and simple Italian ingredients, while maintaining a refined French style of presentation.
"Cooking is entertainment," proclaims the revolutionary. Morimoto's attitude is evident in his dishes, which retain a sense of fun and a bit of spice.
Morimoto opened his own restaurant, Morimoto, in Philadelphia in 2002.
Recently Morimoto New York was opened in mid winter 2006.

I hear that his glasses aren't for his vision, they are fake, and he wears them just for his appearance.

This might sound a bit personal, but I wonder if Morimoto-san and his wife have any kids

That doesn't seem like a "too personal" question. Does he have a wife? Probably, as cute as he is I don't think he could escape one. The only thing I don't like about Morimoto is that straggly cluster of beard on his chinny chin chin! It takes away from an otherwise very classy, sexy guy.

Keiko is a Japanese, girls name. The word Keiko, translated into English, means good luck.

keiko, is also the name of the whale known in the movie industry as "free willy", that starred in the three "free willy" movies. Even though that Orca Whale, was a male, they went and called him Keiko anyway.
