Sakai Hiroyuki is famous for being a womanizer; his smooth personality and friendly attitude certainly help in this regard. His television trademark is a red French chef's costume; he rises into Kitchen Stadium holding a pear in his hand.
He cooks at his French restaurant La Rochelle in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan, which offers a great view of Tokyo from its 32nd floor location. The restaurant's name is from a city in France where Sakai spent some time (as revealed in the France Showdown special).
He is often called the " Delacroix of French cuisine" because of the beautiful way in which his dishes are presented. Sakai is a member of the Club des Trente , an organization of French chefs in Japan.
