Yuta Kinoshita, a Japanese Mukbang YouTuber known as the 'glutton,' has announced his retirement due to health reasons.

According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 13th, YouTuber Yuka Kinoshita, who has about 5.2 million subscribers, recently announced that she would stop her 'big eating' Mukbangs.

Yuka reportedly said, "Even if I'm not full, I feel fatigued," and noted, "My health has deteriorated, and not only can I no longer eat as much as before, but it is also physically overwhelming."

Kinoshita first gained recognition through the 2009 Japanese reality show 'Battle of the Gluttons' and began her YouTube activities in 2014.

Despite being relatively petite at 158 cm tall and weighing 47 kg, she became notorious for consuming 600 pieces of fried chicken, 100 hamburgers, 5 kg of steak, and 5 kg of ramen all at once.

Meanwhile, Kinoshita has stated that while she will stop filming Mukbangs, she will continue other forms of YouTube broadcasts.
