Takeru Kobayashi consumed 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes to win the 86th annual Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest.
Kobayashi, of Nagano, Japan -- 23 years old and weighing in at 131 pounds -- defeated fellow Japanese competitor Arai Saitama,
who placed second by eating 31 hot dogs, also breaking the record he set last year of 25 1/8.
"For the Japanese it is a day of extraordinary success," declared moderator George Shea.
"The hot dog eating contest is not only a beautiful display of athleticism, it is a fundamental way for citizens of all nations to display patriotism," said Wayne Norbitz, president of Nathan's Famous.
This guy is making a difference in the world.
Good job buddy.
I don't particularily like to watch people eat until they puke.
86 years of this wholesome entertainment.
Kobayashi will receive a trophy, a year's supply of Nathan's hot dogs, and the coveted mustard yellow international belt.
