| Kirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?! | 
|
Tertiary supporting character | Early in the story, when Kirby is cooking something for the party, King Dedede orders Waddle Dee to fetch Chef Kawasaki to compete with Kirby. When out searching for him, Bronto Burt informs Waddle Dee that Chef Kawasaki had been hired by Mrs. Parfaitski. At the party, Meta Knight asks about this, her pleasant attitude shifts, and she starts acting nervously. It is later revealed that Chef Kawasaki was one of the many chefs that Mrs. Parfaitski locked up for her picky and unnecessary dissatisfaction with their food. Chef Kawasaki finally appears at the end, where he thanks Kirby, Dedede, and Meta Knight for freeing him and the other chefs. He then prepares a new feast for the party with the other chefs, with each now making their master dish. | |

Secondary character | When Kirby and Waddle Dee head to Kawasaki's, they see that his restaurant is closed, with King Dedede being served inside despite this. Kirby charges at the door, only for Chef Kawasaki to shoo them away without explaining himself. Kawasaki exhaustedly goes back inside to serve a bossy and demanding Dedede. It is revealed that Dedede came in earlier with a "Super-Premium All-You-Can-Eat Card", which lets Kawasaki give the King as much food as he wants for free, much to the chef's dismay. Eventually, Kerota, Keroji, and Kerolina come to the restaurant to send Dedede on a journey with them. They try to butter him up with compliments, and Kawasaki butts in with more compliments in attempt to get Dedede out of his restaurant. Dedede leaves with the trio, leaving Kawasaki in peace. Kirby and Waddle Dee later drop by to ask Kawasaki about Dedede's whereabouts. Chef Kawasaki initially hesitates, but then privately tells them. As the two leave, they promise to keep it a secret for Kawasaki's sake. | |
| Kirby: Meta Knight and the Puppet Princess | 
|
Tertiary supporting character | In the beginning of the story, Chef Kawasaki is nervously reading a newspaper as Meta Knight comes into his restaurant. Meta Knight requests a cake of utmost delectability, for the king of Chiffon Star, Merengue XIII. Upon hearing the planet's name, Chef Kawasaki feels strangely grim. He shows Meta Knight the newspaper, revealing that the princess of Chiffon Star—Princess Marona—has gone missing. As Meta Knight sets out for Chiffon Star, he tells Chef Kawasaki to bake the cake anyway, because he will save her before the king's birthday party. In the end, Chef Kawasaki comes to the king's birthday party and brings the cake he prepared. Merengue XIII finds it to be just as great as Chiffon Star's cakes, which flatters Chef Kawasaki. | |
