Think of Japanese athletes and maybe Ichiro Suzuki comes to mind?
Or the great figure skaters or judokas the country produces?
Well, they don’t have anything on the achievements of one man: Takeru Kobayashi.
On Saturday, Nov. 20, Nintendo hosted a banana eating contest featuring Kobayashi (video here), at Yonge and Eglinton, to promote the Donkey Kong Country Returns game. Some JETAA members and friends had the pleasure of meeting the eating champ and play a bit of Wii. It was a great experience and we got to see and feel Kobayashi’s legendary stomach. Who knew eating hot dogs was a way to great abs!
