What competition was dreamed up by the eccentric "Chairman Kaga"?

The competition dreamed up by the eccentric "Chairman Kaga" is Iron Chef (originally Ryōri no Tetsujin). 
In the lore of the iconic 1990s Japanese cooking show, the flamboyant and wealthy Chairman Kaga (played by actor Takeshi Kaga) spent his vast fortune constructing a culinary arena called "Kitchen Stadium". Driven by an obsessive passion for food, he established his "Gourmet Academy" to stage high-stakes, gladiatorial cooking battles between master guest challengers and his elite resident Iron Chefs. Each battle would dramatically begin with Kaga revealing a secret ingredient and shouting his famous catchphrase: "Allez cuisine!" (French for "Go cook!").

How many tentacles does a squid have?

A squid has two tentacles and eight arms, giving it a total of ten limbs (though a few rare species, like the octopus squid, reabsorb their tentacles as they mature).
Difference Between Arms and Tentacles
  • Arms (8): Shorter limbs that are lined with suction cups along their entire length. They are used to hold, control, and move food toward the beak.

  • Tentacles (2): Much longer, retractile limbs with suction cups (or hooks) only at the tips. They shoot out to grab distant prey
