The "Japanese food saint" - the man known for having a bottomless stomach, who once ate 600 pieces of fried chicken at once, decided to retire and stay home to take care of his pets.
Yuka Kinoshita announced her retirement on February 1, just months after she returned to social media. She had previously taken a seven-month break to treat bipolar disorder.
“ I turned 40 on February 4 and it was really difficult for me to continue my job as a big eater ,” Kinoshita shared on his social media account with 5.2 million followers.

“ I feel very tired. My health has declined over the years. Eating like a normal person is not a problem, but I feel tired even when I am not full. So I am afraid I cannot eat as much as before, ” she added.
Kinoshita’s career was marked by the nickname “Queen of Big Eaters” in 2009 on the Japanese reality show “The Battle of Big Eaters.” At that time, Kinoshita did not win but attracted attention thanks to her super-eating ability while being extremely slim.
Kinoshita started her channel in 2014, sharing her binge-eating videos. Her most notable achievements include eating 600 pieces of fried chicken or 100 hamburgers, even 5kg of meat or 5kg of ramen noodles at once.

In one video, she impressed by eating a serving of rice mixed with 50 eggs and 6 kg of miso soup.
Despite being only 1.58 m tall and weighing less than 50 kg, Kinoshita can consume between 5,000 and 20,000 calories in a single meal. She stopped sharing videos on social media early last year and returned in August 2024. It is known that she gradually recovered after receiving treatment for her mental illness.
“ I really don’t want to fall in love and think about getting married. I feel happy and satisfied living with my three cats ,” Kinoshita shared in the latest video.
“ In the new year, I hope I can live as long as a snake ,” she said.
Kinoshita's decision to retire is currently causing a stir among the public.
“ Her health is more important. Thank you for the interesting videos. I am concerned about her health. I hope Kinoshita finds healthier habits ,” one social media account commented.
Another account commented: “ When I’m in a bad mood and don’t want to eat anything, I often watch Kinoshita’s videos. She makes food look really appealing to me, and every time I eat out, I feel very grateful to Kinoshita .”
