- This article is about the character in the anime series. For the Mid-Boss from the games, see Chef Kawasaki.
Chef Kawasaki is a recurring supporting character in the anime series; Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, first appearing in Episode 2: A Blockbuster Battle, though not playing a major role until Episode 11: The Big Taste Test. He owns and runs the only restaurant in Cappy Town. His cooking is described as awful by most of the cast, but they eat there anyway because there is no competition (most of the time). Kirby is the only character who consistently enjoys his food. Despite his reputation, Chef Kawasaki takes his craft seriously, as he was taught by the famous Chef Shiitake, whom he idolizes. Like the rest of the villagers, Chef Kawasaki is not fond of King Dedede, but he does not try to challenge the king, especially in the rare cases where Dedede comes to eat at his restaurant.
In the English 4Kids dub of the anime, Chef Kawasaki is portrayed with a noticeable lisp in his speech, consistently replacing 's' sounds with 'th' sounds.
