About Iron Wok Jan!

Here is what Iron Wok Jan! (鉄鍋のジャン！) is about, retold in plain terms: an action and psychological anime by TROYCA (2026). What the story covers: Jan Akiyama, a cocky arrogant teenager wants to fulfill his grandfathers wish of defeating his arch nemesis Mutsuju Gobancho. When he arrives at the Gobancho restaurant he runs into his granddaughter Kiriko Gobancho.

Soon after, their rivalry is easily compared to Jan's and Kiriko's grandfathers, for Jan believes cooking is about competition and Kiriko believes cooking is about heart.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Narrator (Kenjirou Tsuda) and Jan Akiyama (Kikunosuke Toya) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
