You can also check out wikipedia's website on Kaga. Want to meet the ultimate foodie? It's Takeshi Kaga—or at least the character he plays on Japan's cult classic, Iron Chef. Kaga is the show's MC, portrayed as a wealthy and eccentric gourmet who lives in his castle with a small army of fine chefs. The character's chief pleasure in life is staging food battles between his honored Iron Chefs and premiere chefs of the culinary world. It's the eccentric nature of Kaga's character that accounts for the flamboyantly sequined, Liberace-esque wardrobe he sports. If you think you've seen Kaga before, it may have been in a PBS special with the international cast of Les Miserables; Kaga was Jean Valjean in Japan's 1994 production. He was also the first Japanese Tony in West Side Story (1977) as well as the first Japanese Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar (1976).

Hi Mistee, all I get for your second image is a red cross and the word image (no image came up)... I can't get anything either. The original weblink must have been changed or removed. Sometimes right-clicking on the "x" and hitting "show picture" works, but I still don't get anything in this case.

Ahh, Chairman Kaga. The best gourmet (or at least he plays one) in the history of the world.
