Fukui: Nearly a decade ago, a man's fantasy became reality in a form never seen before: Kitchen Stadium, a giant cooking arena. The motivation for spending his fortune to create Kitchen Stadium was to encounter new, original cuisines that could be called true, artistic creations.
*cut to Kaga yelling "Allez Cuisine"*
To realize his dream, he secretly started choosing the top chefs of various styles of cooking. And he named his chefs the Iron Chefs: The invincible chefs of culinary skills. Iron Chef Japanese is Masaharu Morimoto, Iron Chef French is Hiroyuki Sakai, Iron Chef Chinese is Chen Kenichi, and Iron Chef Italian is Masahiko Kobe.
Kitchen Stadium is the arena where Iron Chefs await the challenges from master chefs from around the world. Both the Iron Chef and challenger have one hour to tackle the theme ingredient of the day. Using all their senses, skill, and creativity, they are to prepare artistic dishes never tasted before. Every battle, reputations are on the line in Kitchen Stadium, where master chefs pit their artistic creations against each other. What inspiration does today's challenger bring? And how will the Iron Chef fight back? The heat will be on!
Kaga: If memory serves me right, during the previous battle in Kitchen Stadium, the husband of the challenger, Sanji Himura, handed our own food commentator Doc Hattori a special challenge in the form of a scroll.
Himura-san asked Hattori to battle in a rematch. After losing their previous battle, Himura is attempting to regain his honor in my Kitchen Stadium by trying once again to defeat Doc Hattori in battle! Bold, indeed, Himura-san. Well, I'm glad to inform you that Doctor Hattori has accepted your challenge.
Allow me to reintroduce today's challenger: Sanji Himura! Himura is a well-known food critic and chef whose culinary adventures have taken him all across the world. Recently, he has sent many a challenger into Kitchen Stadium to battle my Iron Chefs, including his own wife, who emerged victorious in batle.
He is taking on not an Iron Chef, but my expert food commentator and headmaster of the Hattori Nutrition College, Doctor Yukio Hattori.
So now, Sanji Himura! Come back one final time to challenge Doc Hattori- today, in Kitchen Stadium!
Sanji: There's no way I can lose this battle. Losing is not even a possibility- I will win.
*Kaga steps into Kitchen Stadium. The camera pans around a large column, showing Kaga stepping up to center stage. The Chairman looks around at the many features and ingredients in Kitchen Stadium, and his eyes land on a yellow bell pepper in front of him. He picks it up, and takes a bite. Suddenly, a large smile spreads across his face, as the camera pulls back, revealing the once-empty Kitchen Stadium now full of Gourmet Academy chefs. Flames burst onto the screen, and in both Japanese and English characters appears the words: Iron Chef. The camera pans once more around Kitchen Stadium, and the day’s events are now ready to begin*
*Kaga enters Kitchen Stadium*
Kaga: Today, the long-standing feud between food critic Sanji Himura and our own food commentator Doctor Hattori will come to an end. After previously losing to Doc Hattori, Sanji Himura is back once again in a rematch to regain his honow in Kitchen Stadium.
So now, let's bring him on! Acclaimed food critic and chef... SANJI HIMURA!
*Himura strides confidently into Kitchen Stadium, and bows before Kaga*
Kaga: Welcome back. *bows* Tell me- why have you returned yet again to face Doc Hattori?
