The host of the show was the flamboyant Takeshi Kaga, known on the show as the aristocrat [[Chairman Kaga]] (鹿賀主宰, Kaga Shusai). He began most episodes with his signature words, taken from Arthur Rimbaud, "If memory serves me right...「私の記憶が確かならば…」"(Jadis) si je me souviens bien..." and started the cooking time with the phrase "Allez Cuisine!". The show had two regular commentators, [[Kenji Fukui]], who narrated the action on the floor, and [[Yukio Hattori]], a food scholar and founder of the Hattori Nutrition College. A floor reporter, [[Shinichiro Ohta]], reported to Fukui on what the challengers and Iron Chefs were preparing, their strategy, and their comments, breaking Fukui's train of commentary with a polite "Fukui-san?". One or two guest commentators (who also served as judges) also made frequent appearances. The commentary covered ingredients, history of contenders, and other background information to give viewers context for what was happening in the kitchen.
