Daily Douchebag: Takeru Kobayashi
Nickname: The Tsunami
DOB: March 15, 1978
Occupation: Competetive eater
Hometown: Nagano, Japan
Current Residence: Japan, I guess (Wikipedia doesn't say)
Douchebaggery: Takeru would normally get lots of applause from me for being at the top of his game. He is a machine who shatters world competetive eating records in contests called things like the Glutton Bowl and the Alka-Seltzer US Open of Competetive Eating. To date, the only competition he has ever lost was a show called "Man vs. Beast" on the Fox Network (of course), in which a half-ton Kodiak grizzly bear ate 50 bunless hot dogs in 2 minutes compared to Takeru's 31. However, his true dominance is at the marquis event in the world of competetive eating: the annual Fourth of July Nathan's hot dog eating contest at Coney Island. Last year he set a new world record, downing 53.75 Nathan's famous hot dogs in 12 minutes.
This year was shaping up to be a real throwdown when some other dude ate 59 hot dogs in 12 minutes at some event in California and proved to be the first real contender for Takeru's crown.
However, rather than actually compete against someone that could possibly beat him, now he's suddenly come down with "jaw arthritis" and claims he can't open his mouth. Sha right. He just doesn't want to lose so he's being a big quitter instead. Pussy.
