After a decade of record-breaking eating challenges, Japanese Mukbang star Yuka Kinoshita has announced her retirement due to health issues and exhaustion. From eating 600 fried chickens to 100 burgers in one sitting, she has inspired millions, but the demands of fame have taken a toll on her health.

The craze around Mukbang videos has been booming in the past few years. From fried chicken to soups, creators gorging on food leaves viewers mesmerized. One of the big names in this industry is Japan’s Yuka Kinoshita. Kinoshita’s videos have attracted millions of views. On YouTube, she has over 5.2 million followers.

She rose to fame in 2009 with the Japanese reality show The Battle of Big Eaters’. Although she did not win the competition, she earned popularity due to the stark contrast between her slim stature and massive food consumption. She later launched her YouTube channel in 2014.

Recently, she announced her retirement, leaving her followers disheartened.

“Well, I am retiring from eating a lot. I will turn 40 on February 4, and I have been feeling tired from eating a lot. It’s hard for me to continue working as a big eater,” she said in a new video.

“I am very exhausted. My health has deteriorated over the years. It is no problem to eat like a normal person, but I will feel tired even when I am not full. So, I am afraid I cannot eat as much as before.”

The video was released after she returned to social media after she took a break from content creation due to bipolar disorder.

After the announcement, netizens took to the video’s comments section and filled it with heartfelt reactions.

“When my spirits were low and I did not want to eat anything, I encountered your videos. You made me think food is delicious and so I went out to eat. I feel grateful to you,” a user wrote.
