Tamaki Hiroshi to be new host of "Iron Chef"


Tamaki Hiroshi will be the new host of FujiTV variety programme "Iron Chef" which begins its run from 26th October at 7.57pm on Fridays. He takes over the role from his predecessor Kaga Takeshi who was well-known for hosting the previous version of "Iron Chef" that used to be called "Ryoori no Tetsujin" and the first episode will be a 2-hour SP which begins earlier at 7pm. Other than Tamaki as the host, FujiTV announcers Sano Mizuki and Mita Yurika as well as comedian Miyagawa Daisuke will be appearing on the programme as reporters and live commentator.

Tamaki  was elated to take up the offer but was at the same time apprehensive because of Kaga's success in the successful cooking battle series which was shown from October 1993 to September 1999. When asked about his recent romance rumour in last week's FRIDAY, Tamaki avoided answering the questions but was smiling throughout the interview.
