R.I.P. Kobe-san. He was found unconscious at his restaurant and could not be revived. He will be greatly missed by us all.

I am greatly saddened by this news. Life sometimes leads to cold irony - the youngest of the iron chefs is the first to pass away. Thanks for the memories, Kobe-san. You will be missed.

Apparently Kobe was prepping his restaurant alone and fell from a high place. As tetsujin070561 said, his staff found him unconscious at his restaurant--attempts to revive him at the hospital were unsuccessful. Toshihiko Yoroizuka, the dessert chef challenger from the 2012 revival, was present at Kobe's memorial service. His Iron Chef uniform was on display next to a photo and flowers. (EDIT: here's the photo Yoroizuka himself posted on his public page: www.facebook.com/ToshiYoroizuka/photos/a.599551586781576/2524098060993576/?type=3&theater)

Should go watch an episode in his honor. RIP, Kobe-san.
