Morimoto was 16-9-1 on Iron Chef and 2-3 on Iron Chef America - the latter of which he was credited with 66 victories due to a typo.
Surprisingly, Morimoto is 2-5 overall against other Iron Chefs, with both victories having to do with chef Bobby Flay - the first battle saw Flay as a challenger on the well-publicized New York Special, and the second in a tag battle in Battle of the Masters where Flay was his partner.
Morimoto is different than previous Japanese Iron Chefs since he's spent most of his culinary career in the United States and experiments with fusion cuisine.

 Stephen Starr & Masaharu Morimoto
Morimoto part ownership was a wise business move for Starr, who also had to promise the strong-willed Iron Chef a future opening in New York as part of their deal together.
Morimoto took it in stride though, and although his mantra has always been that he will always do things his way (he has never trained in a culinary school), don’t expect him to change the way he cooks because of one or two critics.
So as long as the Morimoto family dog is safe (no word on his age), his Philadelphia apartment complex remains non-dog friendly, and New Yorkers continue to make up their own minds about what food they like, we should be enjoying the exceptional cooking of Masaharu Morimoto on Tenth Avenue for many years to come.

 Morimoto -- New York Magazine Restaurant Review
Masaharu Morimoto, whose eponymous establishment opened six weeks ago on the fringes of the meatpacking district, brings a formidable array of weapons to this titanic struggle.
Morimoto pairs lumps of soft buffalo mozzarella with slices of the freshest salmon or octopus, dresses lamb carpaccio with a rich ginger-scallion sauce, and serves up a poached-lobster salad (with a soy beurre blanc) that’s as good as anything at the hoity-toity Continental restaurants uptown.
Morimoto’s braised fl cod is perhaps not as magical as the original Nobu dish, but his “Japanese Bouillabaisse” is worth ordering solely for the delicious broth made with sake and red miso.
