'''Chef Kawaski''', also known as '''Cook Kawasaki''', is a [[Mid-Boss]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] and a character in the anime series based on it, ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. When defeated in the games, he grants the [[Cook]] [[Copy Ability]], although in the [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]] anime, he supplies this through his frying pan. Little is known about his origins.

'''Chef Kawasaki''', also known as '''Cook Kawasaki''', is a [[Mid-Boss]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] and a [[Chef Kawasaki (anime character)|character in the anime]] series based on it, ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. He can generally be described as a large orange egg-shaped creature with a vaguely cat-like face who wears a chef's hat and apron. In the games, he attacks Kirby by throwing plates and cutlery at him, or may try to catch him with an extending soup ladle to cook him up in his frying pan. Defeating and inhaling him grants Kirby the [[Cook]] [[Copy Ability]].


==Game Appearances==
Chef Kawasaki made his debut in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and has made numerous appearances and cameos since. His most notable appearance is in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', where he became playable for the first time, able to use many attacks that Cook Kirby cannot. He also appears as an [[smashwiki:assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

!Game
In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its enhanced remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Chef Kawasaki (Cook Kawasaki in the original game) is one of the Mid-Bosses fought repeatedly throughout the game. He attacks [[Kirby]] either by extending his frying pan towards him, briefly cooking and thus harming him if he manages to catch him, or by tossing either one or three plates, which can be inhaled and spat back at him. When swallowed after his defeat, Chef Kawasaki grants Kirby the rare [[Cook]] ability, and is the only creature in the game to do so.

In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its enhanced remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Chef Kawasaki (Cook Kawasaki in the original game) is one of the Mid-Bosses fought repeatedly throughout the game. He attacks [[Kirby]] either by extending his frying pan towards him, briefly cooking and thus harming him if he manages to catch him, or by tossing either one or three plates, which can be inhaled and spat back at him. When swallowed after his defeat, Chef Kawasaki grants Kirby the rare [[Cook]] ability, and is the only enemy in the game to do so. He also appears in the minigame [[Samurai Kirby]] as the third enemy that Kirby faces. Chef Kawasaki attacks with his frying pan as Kirby attacks with a pie. And in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', Chef Kawasaki also appears on a card in [[Kirby Card Swipe]] and as a target in [[Kirby on the Draw]].

Chef Kawasaki appears in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', providing the [[Cook]] ability like before, and being recruitable as a [[Helper|Friend]]. This marks his first 3D appearance in the series.
Chef Kawasaki appears in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', providing the [[Cook]] ability like before, and being recruitable as a [[Helper|Friend]]. This marks his first 3-D appearance in the series.


As a Mid-Boss, Chef Kawasaki has largely the same attack patterns he had before. However, he has been made much larger, now roughly three Kirbys tall instead of only two. Once defeated, he can be recruited as a Friend by tossing a [[Make Friend|Friend Heart]] at him, which will cause him to shrink considerably in size.

As a Friend, Chef Kawasaki has an expanded move-set compared to Cook Kirby, and can use the Cook Pot and Souper Supper moves without losing the ability, though there is a cooldown timer on these moves to prevent their overuse.
The following is a list of attacks that Chef Kawasaki can perform as a mid-boss in ''Kirby Star Allies.'' All attack names are conjectural unless otherwise stated.

|-
!Attack
!Description
!Variants
|-
|'''Jump'''
|Chef Kawasaki jumps in place a few times.
|
|-
|'''Ladle'''
|Chef Kawasaki moves to one side of the stage (left, center or right), digs through his apron to pull out a ladle and then throws it out around half of the stage length. Any allies that get hit by the ladle will be sautéd by Kawasaki for a few seconds before getting thrown out. They can escape quicker by rotating the Control Stick rapidly.
|The tougher iteration of Kawasaki throws his ladle out to cover the whole stage compared to his regular counterpart.<br>The ladle itself can be crouched under.<br>The ladle cannot be [[guard]]ed.
|-
|'''Plateware'''
|Chef Kawasaki pulls out some dishes, cups and/or spoons from his apron and then throws them at Kirby and the star allies.
|Kawasaki can throw one or three sets at a time. His tougher variation can throw as many as five at once.
|-
!colspan=3|'''Harder version only''' &nbsp;
|-
|'''Jumping Plateware Spin'''
|Chef Kawasaki backs up to one edge of the screen and then jumps while spinning, throwing plateware as he spins.
|He can throw as few as three to as many as 10. After losing enough health, he does this move twice in a row; the first jump high above ground and the second jump low to the ground. Kawasaki's jump in the second instance can be crouched under.
|}
 
His regular variation attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:
#Jump x3
#Ladle
#Jump
#Plateware x1
#Ladle
#Plateware x1
 
After losing around half of his health, he will abruptly switch to this pattern:
#Ladle
#Plateware x3
#Jump x3
#Ladle
#Plateware x3
 
His harder variation attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:
#Jumping Plateware Spin
#Ladle
#Plateware x3
#Jump x4
#Jumping Plateware Spin
#Ladle
#Plateware x3
 
After losing around half of his health, he abruptly switches to this pattern:
#Jumping Plateware Spin x2
#Ladle
#Plateware x5
#Jump x4
 
If he is brought to this health threshold during his Jumping Plateware Spin in the first bit of the fight, he will immediately start the second instance of the Jumping Plateware Spin in the second phase attack cycle.
 
In some stages, '''Twin Kawasaki''' is fought and comes in two varieties. It can consist of one regular and one hard variation or two hard variations, both of which have the exact same attack order between the two of them unlike every other mid-boss twin.
 
As a Friend, Chef Kawasaki has an expanded moveset compared to Cook Kirby, and can use the Cook Pot and Souper Supper moves without losing the ability, though there is a cooldown timer on these moves to prevent their overuse.


The cooldown requires:

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Chef Kawasaki appears as a new [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]]. He can throw his plateware as projectiles. He can also grab fighters with his ladle, put them into his pot and cook them, dealing them damage and producing food items in the process. Given that [[smashwiki:Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Chef Kawasaki appears as a prominent character in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', where he is the town cook. While generally kind and obliging, he is usually portrayed as a very bad cook, with Kirby being the only resident of [[Cappy Town]] who likes his food. He does have many regular customers, however, as he runs the only restaurant in town.

Chef Kawasaki appears as a prominent character in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', where he is the town cook. While generally kind and obliging, he is usually portrayed as a very bad cook and very insecure about this fact, with Kirby being the only resident of [[Cappy Town]] who likes his food. He does have many regular customers, however, as he runs the only restaurant in town.
 
Although Chef Kawasaki and Kirby initially get off to a rocky start in their relationship, Kawasaki eventually becomes one of Kirby's strongest allies in the kingdom, perhaps to make up for his attempt to make Kirby into a meal for [[Chef Shiitake|his master]] in [[The Big Taste Test]]. Whenever Kirby needs to gain the [[Cook]] Copy Ability to fight an opponent, Chef Kawasaki tosses him his frying pan to use for the transformation.


In the English dub, Chef Kawasaki is portrayed with a lisp, substituting 's' sounds with 'th'.

{{main|Chef Kawasaki (novel character)}}
Chef Kawasaki appears as a recurring character in the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], first appearing in the very first novel, ''[[Kirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?!]]''. He is similar yet different to his anime counterpart: he also owns a restaurant, but unlike in the anime, his cooking is universally praised, and as such his restaurant is one of the most famous of Dream Land.
He often appears in the novels as a supporting character, but he sometimes plays bigger roles, such as in ''[[Kirby: Uproar at the Kirby Café?!]]''. In addition, he frequently appears in novels based on games where he didn't originally appear, such as ''[[Kirby Clash Team Unite!]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Big Trouble in Patch Land!]]''.
