Kobayashi is at a huge advantage when he comes to the states. When you watch the competition, there is always a loud annoying announcer shouting and making jokes. Kobayashi is able to tune out the american bullshit and focus all his attention on eating. It slows you down when you listen to how well everyones doing.
Joey Chestnut is a spoiled unsportmanlike jerk. Kobayashi may not be the champion anymore but at least he is a good guy. Look up Joey's douchebag antics and you'll decide not to go to this years contest if Kobayashi can't compete.
@Craig78910 Agreed. Kobayashi is also hampered culturally: 1) Most contests are American, and patriotic crowds are a factor. This was evident in the 4TH OF JULY Nathan's contests, where crowds chanted "USA" and opined that hot dogs are American. A Japanese fanbase is non-existent. He also doesn't speak English. 2) Chestnut loves hot dogs and eats them regularly. Kobayashi has said that he only eats it for the contest. It's a specialty food in Japan, unavailable in every neighborhood.
This guy is incredible... It's like he has no gag reflex. I mean, I entered a local contest & ate 46 hot wings in 10 mins w/no training. Plus, I entered last minute... BUT I was sweaty & nauseous for like an hour afterwards. I don't know how these guys do it for a living, lol

@123puta3 it takes a ton of will power to do what he does and also takes training and conditioning.
i think competitive eating is sorta similair to long distance running.
