Chef

The Chef (Japanese: りょうりにん Ryōrinin; Cook) is a job in Miitopia. It is one of the six jobs available at the beginning of the game along with the Warrior, the Mage, the Cleric, the Thief, and the Pop Star. As such, it is also one of the jobs that are playable in the Demo.

In official promotional material for the Nintendo 3DS version, the Mii representing the Chef is named Kozo (こうぞう) by Nintendo of Japan. In western trailers for the Nintendo Switch version, the Mii that usually represents the Chef is named Shin.

"Cooks up cures and stirs up trouble in equal parts with a trusty frying pan."

Nintendo official site
"Able to dish out healthy cures to friends and spicy wallops to enemies."

Gameplay
The Chef can perform both as an attacker and a healer thanks to its variety of skills. The Chef can deal powerful single-target damage thanks its high Attack stat, which can be boosted even more through Flambé. It may also have its allies attack in its stead through Spicy Dish, and even help attack multiple targets with Spicy Dinner, however this comes at the cost of potentially causing Quarrels between the Chef and the other party members.

The Chef can heal the party through its Cooking skills, and can even heal the entire party with Feast, though the latter does not take effect immediately. It is even able to enhance the effect of HP Bananas with the Banana Fritter skill. Unlike other jobs with healing skills though, the Chef's Cooking (excluding Feast) only heals a fixed amount of HP regardless of its own stats.

In the Nintendo Switch version, a Hero with the Chef job can use the Horse-Whispering Chef assist, which is a random wide-target magic attack that inflicts damage with 1.8x multiplier up to 5 hits (less if there is too insufficient number of targets).

Thanks to its weapon also increasing Defense, the Chef can have the highest Defense stat out of any job. The Chef however must watch out for enemies with powerful Magic attacks, as its own Magic stat is on the lower end.

The Chef's weapon is the Frying Pan while its clothing is the Uniform, but the Chef may also wear amiibo costumes.

Trivia

 * The Chef is one of the few jobs with a unique walking animation during a stage. Other jobs with unique walking animations include the Thief, the Pop Star, the Cat, the Tank, the Flower, and the Vampire.
 * The Chef has an exaggerated walk with their arms swinging, likely to make room for the Uniform's pants.
 * The Mii representing the Chef in the promotional material for the Nintendo 3DS version reappears as the default Mii for the Roaming Gourmet in the Nintendo Switch version, albeit with a lighter skin tone.
 * The Mii representing the Chef in most of the western trailers for the Nintendo Switch version of the game was also the Mii representing the Thief in the promotional material for the Nintendo 3DS version.
