This is the list of episodes for the 2012 revival of Japanese cooking television series ''Iron Chef'', produced by Fuji Television. On October 26, 2012, Fuji TV revived the original Iron Chef franchise, this time simply using the English name ''Iron Chef'' (アイアンシェフ). Actor Hiroshi Tamaki assumed the role as the new Chairman in this revival. For the line-up of Iron Chefs, Yuji Wakiya, a former challenger in the original series, became the official Iron Chef Chinese after initially being named as a successor Iron Chef in the original series' Millennium Cup, while Yōsuke Suga was selected as the new Iron Chef French instead of Seigo Mitani, the supposed successor Iron Chef French also introduced in the Millennium Cup; Jun Kurogi was chosen as the new Iron Chef Japanese. Yukio Hattori would reprise his role as commentator, guided by a set of culinary experts. Unlike the previous series, the 2012 revival has challengers nominated by prominent personalities, such as past Iron Chefs. Through public vote, challengers who won battles would have a chance to officially become future Iron Chefs. For consistency, all Japanese names are in Western order, macroned with Hepburn romanization. All other Asian names, on the other hand, are in Eastern order. Also, for each of the non-Japanese Asian challengers, as much as possible, the romanization used for the Chinese names are derived from the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation and Pinyin romanization of the name. All Asian challengers, except those with Wikipedia articles, will have their names in kanji in parentheses upon first mention in the list. For the non-Japanese Asian challengers, the Japanese pronunciation of the name as used in the show is also included. In the case of Asians with mixed Chinese-Japanese heritage, such as Chen Kenichi, they follow the same criteria as the Chinese names (i.e. Eastern order and Japanese pronunciation guide beside kanji). ==2012== The last episode of 2012 is the New Year's Eve episode as the Mr. Iron Chef competition. It was broadcast live for six hours and there were seven judges for each battle. It was broadcast as alternative programming to NHK's hugely popular Kōhaku Uta Gassen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Iron Chef (2012 series) episodes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
