Chef Kawasaki debuted in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' as a mid-boss and the source of the {{iw|wikirby|Cook}} ability, and later reprised this role in ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Star Allies}}''. Originally, he had two attacks: using his ladle to grab the player character and cook them with a frying pan, or throwing dishes and silverware as projectiles. When copied, the Cook ability allowed Kirby to draw enemies toward him and cook them in a boiling pot, receiving an food item for each defeated enemy. Kawasaki's appearance as an Assist Trophy in ''Ultimate'' combines Kawasaki's ladle grab with Cook Kirby's attack; the latter of which Kawasaki can also use as a {{s|wikirby|Friend}} in ''Kirby Star Allies''.

Chef Kawasaki appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. He uses a ladle to grab opponents from afar, then puts them in a boiling pot, which launches them and creates [[food]]; this is similar to [[Cook Kirby]], {{SSBB|Kirby}}'s [[Final Smash]] in ''Brawl''. He can also throw plates as projectiles, and he leaves behind a random food item before disappearing. He is one of several Assist Trophies that can be KO'd. [[Training Mode]] describes his Assist Trophy: ''Grabs hold of opponents and mixes them into a pot. Once the broth is ready, he'll make health recovery items!'' He cannot be summoned in King of Fighters Stadium, Mute City SNES, and Spirit Train.
