[SagaraSouske]

He looks just like Kakihara in "Ichi the Killer" doesn't he??

[abfkelly]

[love2CUsmile86]

[Yitzchakera2]

[ukyo4ever]

[PrinsuAware]

[eeuumuscle]

kobayashi is HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.­..i love his muscles too

[Heavymetal8008]

I wonder if this guy is anybodys hero

[SwtMsT]

He's my hero.

[kalior]

his translator is not very good, that's why he seems confused half the time

[oranman]

with all those calories he stocks up he can burn it all on bodybuilding, thats why he's actually quite ripped

[tjl81]

Too bad there are many reports that he has been using steroids. When he first won the hot dog contest, at a height of 5'7", he weighed 110 pounds. Last year, he said that he was up to 196 pounds!

[essdotverma007]

I believe that his protien can come from the approx 200 plates of sushi that he is capable of eating. Look up True Life "I am a competetive eater"

[laxel01]

T_T where did you hear that and you think he reallydosi duno i would never want to be lieve suchthingshesstoopretty to do that to himself T-T!!! ahh im sad!

[avatarion]

not really.. only dumbasses would say that.. his ability to consume food is perfect for building mass.. duh.. and he does bodybuilding its not a miracle.. and until 110 pounds he was probably eating very little protein

[airmikeliu]

damn, he's got a great body for such a little guy! getting rich by shoveling food... now THERE'S a dream profession :D

LMAO

[mattglop]

Dude...he is super ripped. How do you eat all that and still stay ripped? If I ate that much I would be fat as heck.

[Manjinkendo]

eat as much meat as you want, if you work out and stay in shape you will all turn to muscle, if you sit on your ass and do nothing all day, it will turn to fat.

[loqutor]

Aaaaahhhh, so THAT'S what I've been doing wrong. Who'da known?

[DaVinci85]

no, that also depends on your gens... I can eat as much as I want and will never get fat. But some people do a lot of sport and sill get fat.

[zerocoolx05]

for those that kept on saying that hes a lil man, hes actually not that little (anymore).

"Kobayashi's official Web site gives his height as 5 feet 7 inches and his weight as 165 pounds, but in a June 29, 2006, entry on his blog, he says that his weight grew to over 196 pounds during 2006, still being under 10 percent body fat."

[pokopori]

damn, he's got a great body for such a little guy! getting rich by shoveling food... now THERE'S a dream profession :D

[cyberfyber]

I've no recollection right now as to where I saw it. I must've been channel surfing one day on cable and spotted this by accident. Anyhow, some station somewhere had a clip of a Japanese show for kids with him amidst all these cartoons. No idea what it was all about but I'd venture to guess it was the Japanese version of Saturday Morning Kid TV. anyhow, YUP, looks like he's probably doing extremely well.

[thewerecactus]

he's so cute!

[ChildofRain]

Yeah, he's adorable in this vid!

[ducksxgoxrawr]

Kobayashi looks better without the scruff, but he's still extremely good looking. <333

[BeautifulCallaLilies]

yeah...he won again! yes..long live mr hottie kobayashi.

[Willjin]

I wish I could have gone this year, had work :-(. Kobayashi's so cool :-D.

[poppoya]

I love his hair color..freaking Taxi-car yellow.

Ah, Kobayashi's such a little man.

[SagaraSouske]

it's more like a yellow orange

[eam12]

Long Live Kobayashi-san!

[seamonkeywater]

[MintGreen]

Ah, gotta love him! Thank you for uploading this!
