Yutaka Ishinabe (石鍋 裕 Ishinabe Yutaka born 1948 in Yokohama Japan) was the first French Chef in the Japanese cooking show Iron Chef. He appeared from the first episode in 1993 sporting a green outfit while holding a bell pepper. Over the years he has earned himself the nickname of The Artist for being creative with all his approaches to food. He has the highest winning percentage of any of the Iron Chefs due mainly to the fact he only fought 8 battles: he won 7 and lost 1.
