Even though it appears to be a lost cause, Kobe gets my vote (I'm nothing if not loyal).

UPDATE time! I just want to know who the hell would want to go out on a sheet of ice at midnight to play twenty minutes of solid hockey? I'd be dead tired, just 'cause it's midnight! It's going to happen live on my television in a few minutes. I couldn't imagine it happening until now.
Let's see... Kurimoto has a comfortable lead, and it's only three more votes until he wins. But go ahead and vote anyway for me.

It's time for an UPDATE! Ah, I think I know why you did what you did, achen. I've mentioned a few times that I do not like casting the absolute last vote of the game in situations like this. I'm safe from any potential endings myself.
But Kurimoto only needs two more votes before we can call this one a game. Vote for today.

UPDATE time! Well, that's all for this game. I assume you should know that it's time to check the final tally one last time... And it is pretty easy to determine that a winner has been crowned!
Masahiko Kobe -- 14 Shinichiro Kurimoto -- 25
So without further ado, the winner of this installment is none other than the (former) lower house member and second all-time to dishes tasted in Iron Chef history...
SHINICHIRO KURIMOTO!
Kurimoto becomes only the third member of the Hall of Fame who is not an Iron Chef. I hate to admit it, but the numbers don't look so skewed now. I just find that pretty hard to believe.

This leaves me to tell you that we'll start anew tomorrow night. I will think of a new competitor to add to the ranks, and we'll start with Ultimate Iron Chef Survivor 9: HoFers With Nine Lives!, only here at Kitchen Stadium. So until then, I'm IronChefMandy. Have a nice night.
