No true Scotsman fallacy. Like most asians, the Japanese are severe mongrels. Unless you show a pureblood Ainu, it's just another mainlander and not Japanese.

he was 67 which is kinda old but still young enough to be somewhat surprising. In fact most of the Iron Chefs are not only still alive but older than him, Sakai is 80 and still chugging along while Morimoto is the same age as Chen.
the real fucked one is Masahiko Kobe. he died at 49 IIRC he fell at work or something

I like how as the show went on he just got progressively better. He was as good as Michiba at the end.
