(October 12, 1950- )
Birth name is Kaga Shigekatsu
Portrays Chairman Kaga on 'Iron Chef'

He dresses like Liberace.
One critic described him as looking 'as gay as Christmas.'
He speaks in a hammy, theatrical style.
He goes from whispering one minute and shout the next.
He screams 'Allez cuisine!' at the beginning of each 'Iron Chef' episode, but his French is so bad it can't be understood.
American producers chose to subtitle his lines rather than dub them, because they thought a dubbed voice would make him seem too ludicrous.

Despite dressing in feathers, sequins and tinsel, he manages to look dignified.
He is so good at his 'Chairman' character that many people think he really is an eccentric billionaire.
He has a rich, deep voice.
He was the first Japanese singer to star in productions of 'West Side Story,' 'Jesus Christ Superstar' and 'Les Miserables.'
'Iron Chef' is still popular on American TV, despite Japanese production ceasing in 2000.
He hosts the Japanese version of 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'
