| 36 | Chen vs Igarashi Miyuki (Cucumber) | 1997-09-26 |
| This challenger is the youngest ever to enter Kitchen Stadium. At the young age of 22, she already heads the kitchen of a bustling Chinese restaurant in Tokyo. She was only 7 when she began helping her father in the kitchen that she eventually took over. She feels that a chef’s job is more important than that of a doctor. Once again, Chen is called upon to take on a female challenger. | ||

It’s a French on French battle as Toshiyuki Nakajima takes on Iron Chef Sakai in Battle Beef Cheek. To add to the tension, apparently Sakai’s restaurant is not far from the challenger’s. | ||

| 22 | Kobe vs Hagiwara Masahiko (Pasta) | 1997-06-13 |
| This is the debut battle of Iron Chef Italian Masahiko Kobe. It's been four years since Kitchen Stadium opened. We travel to one of the best Italian restaurants in the world, Inotecha Pinchiori, to find the newest Iron Chef, Iron Chef Italian Masahiko Kobe (27). Today's challenger has been in Kitchen Stadium before. He battled Iron Chef Chen Kenichi back in 1995, in the Scampi Battle. He is considered one of the best pasta chefs in Japan. This has to be the first battle where the challenger actually has more experience in Kitchen Stadium than the Iron Chef. There will be one later when one of Michiba's former assistants battles Morimoto in only his 5th appearance as Iron Chef. (Sweetfish) Kaga welcomes the challenger and summons the three Iron Chefs. He then tells the challenger, "Of course, today you won't be doing battle with these three." The first thing you'll notice once the gong of fate sounds is that deliberate pace with which Kobe approaches the theme. This may be the only time I have ever seen him not running to the podium to get his ingredients. He is moving as slowly as I've ever seen him move. Every now and then, Kobe gets a look of confusion, but that's somewhat understandable as it is his first battle. They keep mentioning the fact that Kobe is 27 years old. In the royal box today are challengers from previous battles. - Yamada (Cabbage) - Kobayashi (Pumpkin) - Osako (Mushroom ) - Uetake (Peach) - Kitami (Tomato) Challenger's Dishes --Rice pasta, two-color hors d'ourves --Handmade pasta in eggplant --Foie Gras and Duck Ravioli --Rotelli Soup --macaroni and Farfalle two-color pasta --Beef Filet and Truffle Conchiglie Round Wrap --Pasta "Napkin" dessert Iron Chef's Dishes --Scallop & Conchiglie Gratin & ??

| The challenger is the 25-year-old son of a prominent Chinese cuisine chef whose restaurant "Kochouran" in Kobe was demolished during the huge earthquake back in 1995. It's been 2 years by the time they taped this, and the chairman, while disappointed that the chef of Kochouran permanently quit the business when his restaurant was destroyed, was pleased to find the chef's son as the head chef of Canton Shuka "Ten" in Kobe. Kaga's theme announcement expressed confidence that Kobe was indeed building its "pillars" or foundations firmly after the disaster. The word for "pillar" in Japanese is "hashira". This immediately brings to mind "kai-bashira" (shell-pillars, a common idiom for the adductor muscle of bivalves). But not just any kaibashira - no, they had to be the most prized "kaibashira" in Chinese cuisine - dried scallops, also known as ganbei or conpoy.

| 5 | Chen vs Taniguchi Kouichi (Shrimp) | 1994-02-06 |
| We see an all-too familiar face for the first time in the intro to this battle. And as usual, Chairman Kaga is not happy with what he hears. Toshiro Kandagawa wants to take down the Iron Chefs, and he thinks he has the men to do it. The first challenger, Kouichi Taniguchi, began working for Kandagawa at the age of 18. You will enjoy his impressive knife work. He is ready to be the lead-off man in the batting order and get the Kanto vs. Kansai challenge started. | ||

| 6 | Chen VS Tei Kazuhiko (Octopus) | 1993-11-21 |
| For the first time, we do not have a preliminary battle. This episode is the first that really looks like an episode of what we now recognize as Ryouri no Tetsujin (complete with pre-battle video piece on the challenger). And of course, we have the challenger (in black and white) looking at the camera and saying "I'll win". It's an all Chinese cuisine battle as the challenger takes on Iron Chef Chinese Chen Kenichi. | ||
| 5 | Michiba vs Syu Tomiteru (Lobster) | 1993-11-14 |
| Chairman Kaga talks about Yi Yin, a 16th century BC Chinese cook to whom the idea of the five tastes is generally attributed. The theme for the preliminary battles is Harumaki (Spring Roll). The Kaga speech about spring rolls ends with "Glass Skin" (perhaps referring to the lightness of the outer skin of properly prepared harumaki.) The final battle will take place between Shu Tomiteru (younger brother of the famed Shu Tomitoku) and Iron Chef Michiba. | ||
| 4 | Chen vs Kudo Toshiyuki (Tofu) | 1993-11-07 |
| The preliminary battle in this episode has a theme of Korokke (Croquette). Among the challengers is a 17 year-old student and a chef from Sakai's La Rochelle. The final is a French on French match-up. The theme is not a French theme, however, as the Chairman unveils Tofu. Ishinabe can only laugh while the challenger has a look of trepidation on his face. | ||
| 3 | Chen vs Indoragori Paulo (Blow fish) | 1993-10-31 |
| The preliminary battle is a matchup of Spaghetti. Half of the challengers seem to be non-chefs this time. And the eventual winner is an Italian chef. This episode features the debut of Iron Chef Chinese Chen Kenichi. The theme will be Fugu. Given the specialized skill needed to properly prepare Fugu, Kitchen Stadium provides trained Fugu experts to cut the fish apart for the chefs. (It should be noted that the Chairman Kaga character will eventually be "killed" by improperly prepared fugu.) | ||
| 2 | Michiba vs Kobayakawa Yousei (Foie Gras) | 1993-10-17 |
| The theme of the preliminary battle is Omurice. The main battle features Yousei Kobayakawa vs Rokusaburo Michiba. How will a traditional Japanese chef like Michiba handle a very non-Japanese ingredient? Like a master. Even though it is his debut battle, look for the Michiba staples: the written menu and his Inochi no Dashi (aka Broth of Vigor). | ||
