Born in 1931, in Ishikawa Prefecture. Iron Chef Michiba was undoubtedly
one of the strongest of the Iron Chefs. He did not believe in borders
in his cooking, so while his style was Japanese, he would use
ingredients from many other countries. This risky technique helped him
prevail over many worthy foes. Michiba is also known as "The Rebel of
Japanese Cuisine".
Iron Chef Michiba retired in Jan.3,1995 on his 65th birthday.
