Honoo no Ryourinin: Cooking Fighter Hao

Cooking Fighter Hao (also known as The Blazing Chef: Cooking Fighter Hao or simply Cooking Fighter) is a 1998 action game developed and published by Nippon Ichi Software for the PlayStation only in Japan. The game takes place in a fictional version of China and players control a swordsman named Hao, who engages in cooking battles with rival chefs. The showdowns take place in the arena where Hao has to defeat the animals, collect the ingredients, and use them to prepare dishes. It was later ported to Android and iOS in 2024. A Windows port with enhanced visuals was released via Steam in 2025; it is available for purchase worldwide, but only supports the Japanese language.
