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.
