Takeru Kobayashi
Nagano, Japan

Many consider Takeru Kobayashi the most dominant living athlete. His feat on July 4th, 2001, of downing 50 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes doubled the previous record and left entire continents agape with disbelief. Since that fateful day, his gurgitating prowess has gone almost uncontested and his feats have left people shaking their heads. In a televised Japanese contest known as “Weight Crash,” Kobayashi once gained a staggering 27 pounds in 45 minutes. |
