Takeru Kobayashi -W.C eater


T A K E R U / K O B A Y A S H I

Kobayashi (as he is called) was born in Nagano Japan, and is currently 31 years old.

He is a competitive eater, and a member of the International Federation of Competitive Eating. He held the world record for hot dog eating for over 6 years, and holds several others now. He is ranked 3rd in the world for competitive eating.

Kobayashi has black (sometimes dyed orange) hair. He stands at 5 feet 8 inches and weighs only 168 lbs., but can get up to 192 lbs. after doing competitions. He has trained his body to be able to withstand the mass of all of the food.

He is strong, and his feats are consistent. He is hard working, as he does train for these competitions, by eating certain amounts of food nights before. He tries to eat larger and larger amounts of food every time he trains, to expand his stomach. He then exercises to ensure that the fat from all of the food doesn't cause his stomach to have less room. Although it seems that it would be hard to stay small after all of the eating, Kobayashi has a defined 6-pack. He is a beast.

He is seen as heroic because he has never placed worse than 2nd place in a competition, and holds several world records. He has been on TV numerous times and even did a reality show with MTV called: True Life: I'm a competitive eater. This show allowed viewers to see what type of discipline Kobayashi has to put towards his body, in order to be able to hold an amount of food that could feed a very large 10 person family.

BAGHEERA - The Jungle Book

B A G H E E R A

Bagheera is a character from the Disney motion picture: The Jungle Book. His main roll in the film is to watch after Mowgli- a young boy who is orphaned in the forest at birth. Bagheera saves Mowgli from being harmed, and takes care of him so that he can bring him to the "Man Village," where all of the humans of the forest live.

Bagheera is an authoritative figure in the film, and often acts as the parent of the story. He is mature, and reliable. He is stoic, until the end of the film. He often tries to put forth a stern attitude and be very serious. As a jaguar, Bagheera is all black, with piercing eyes. He is portrayed to be rather intimidating, although he is not necessarily that strong, or large.

Bagheera sees himself as the only one who can successfully watch over Mowgli. That is what he is perceived as to the audience. Once Baloo the bear - a giant bear that's goofy and musical - comes along and draws Mowgli's attention, Bagheera instantly gets hesitant and worries about Mowgli. While in Baloo's care, Mowgli is drawn into harmful situations in which Baloo cannot save him. That is where Bagheera steps in and sprints to Mowgli in order to save him from the dangers of the forest.

Bagheera is famous for always coming to Mowgli's rescue, and making sure that he is okay. He acts as a parent to Mowgli, and for that he is seen as kind and brave.
