Big Eater/Anime and Manga

Thin Characters
It's probably also fueling one of the Required Secondary Powers, seeing as he seems to be able to stretch several times the distance of a football-field and is often extremely hungry after any battle, where he always stretches as part of his battle-style. This way of eating also applies to drinking; he can drink so much he should have water-poisoning. After his brother Sabo died he was barely ate, although in this case it was still twice as much as the people he was with.
 * Some of the Saiyans (Goku, Vegeta) and half-Saiyans (Gohan, Goten, Trunks) in Dragonball Z. The funniest part is that the other characters always look on in shock no matter how many times they see it done. Though their reactions could be due to the eaters' less-than-proper table manners, since they all seem to snarf down the food as fast as possible.
 * Though it's mostly played for laughs, the Saiyans might arguably be a case of Justified Trope when you consider just how many calories their bodies must burn with all that muscle, much less the fighting.
 * Beerus has an appetite that can match Goku's. In fact, the rapport he feels towards Goku is a result of this, and the reason he decides not to destroy the Earth; the food there is just too good.
 * Hei from Darker than Black sometimes eats between 10-20 bowls of ramen in one sitting. This is justified because he gets into super powered contractor fights fairly often. He's also a pretty good cook. Misaki Kirihara isn't quite as bad, but does eat a lot as well, which she justifies by claiming she gets lots of exercise as a cop. It should be noted that the only time their Big Eater tendencies were not lampshaded was when they had dinner together.
 * Charles Grey in the Black Butler manga managed to eat Earl Phantomhive out of house & home, with 34 dishes piled high.
 * Sket Dance's Chiaki Takahasi, Captain of the Kaimei High Softball Team, will eat absolutely anything and everything, as long as it's edible, IN RECORD TIME. Okay, almost everything. She has a weakness to eggs, which she absolutely despises.
 * Fairy Tail
 * Natsu Dragneel would be considered one of these.
 * Erza as well, though towards cake.
 * In Lupin III, Lupin, Jigen and Zenigata are sometimes shown to be this way. In Zenigata's case, it's probably justified, since chasing after Lupin must burn more calories than the Insanity Workout.
 * Miyako in Hidamari Sketch is one, but since she is also in Perpetual Poverty, she is practically sponging off her three neighbours.
 * Jounouchi Katsuya from Yu-Gi-Oh! "Keep your hands and feet away from his mouth!"
 * America and Italy from Axis Powers Hetalia love to shovel junk food and pasta down their respective throats.
 * Pokémon: Ash and his friends have been known to fall into this category every now and then, usually when sitting down to an extravagant meal put on by some gracious host.
 * Ash definitely falls under this. Most episodes he complains that he's hungry, one of the running gags is his stomach always growling (Misty would often go, "Not again!" at this. Later on when this happens, both Brock and May remark that "some things never change"). and when he gets food, he really stuffs himself. This has been lampshaded on a number of occasions. The beginning of one of the Johto episodes has him suffering from a belly-ache due to eating too much, and after about 200-something episodes, gets his first Balloon Belly scene in Sinnoh.
 * Despite how much she teases Ash for it, May might actually be worse. And Arceus help you if you try to take her share. On another occasion, she was even bribed with her favorite food (noodles) to help settle a family squabble that Ash and company would otherwise steer clear of.
 * Team Rocket, when they're lucky enough to have enough to pig out on. Once resulted in a fat episode where they had to work it off.
 * Diamond from Pokémon Special falls into this category all the time, rarely being seen without something in his mouth. Rather ironic considering his game counterpart Lucas' most prominent physical characteristic is being so skinny as to be downright emaciated-looking.
 * And of course, the obvious culprits -- Snorlax, Munchlax, Swalot, etc.
 * Kagura from Gintama is constantly snacking on sukonbu. She also eats so much that Gintoki once used her to get out of paying a bill at a place running an "Eat XX amount in XX minutes and it's free!" promo. Gintoki himself is a sugar freak who only cuts back because his doctor told him he was on the verge of diabetes.
 * Hatsune from Zettai Karen Children eats a whole lot, preferably anything with animal protein, which comes part and parcel with her abilities to transform into a wolf.
 * André from Rose of Versailles, at least according to Oscar. Though he is ar least once shown eating apples rather... epically.
 * Hime from Yozakura Quartet is often accused of this although she loses an eating contest at one point.
 * Suzume from Hyakko has a nigh-insatiable appetite. It doesn't help that everybody feels obliged to hand her food.
 * In two recent Cutey Honey versions, the title Magical Girl is a Big Eater since she burns LOTS of energy while fighting/transforming, so she needs at least a minimum of energy to have access to her Voluntary Shapeshifter and Master of Disguise powers.
 * Midori from Telepathy Shoujo Ran, who can hold her own in the fiercest of eating contests.
 * It's only once made a plot point, but any time Simon or Kamina of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann sit down to eat, they generate a tremendous pile of dishes. Kamina even declares that "A man's stomach knows no limit!" in Episode 6. It shows, too.
 * Saki in Shikabane Hime munches sweets at a rate that would put L to shame.
 * Train from Black Cat manages to use up millions of dollars from hard earned bounties by eating too much. How he manages to remain stick thin remains a mystery...
 * In certain fan communities, there's actually a joke about how, even if Creed wanted Train, he probably wouldn't be able to support him, considering how Train goes through food money like water.
 * Toriko
 * The eponymous Toriko embodies this trope and then some. A meal that could satisfy 500 people only filled him up 1/10. ONE TENTH, for a 500 man feast. Though this is kind of typical, as he has ridiculous amounts of strength and endurance, and he originally was
 * Zebra actually managed to eat
 * Natsumi Tsujimoto and Shoji Tokairin from You're Under Arrest.
 * Hayate the Combat Butler
 * Ayumu. While her meals aren't normally out of the ordinary, they are more frequent than those of any other character in the series.
 * As of Chapter 275,  wolfs down Hinagiku's cooking while inhabiting Izumi's body. It's yet unknown what effect exactly this will have, but we now have the opportunity for another big eater.
 * Eyeshield 21: Otawara eats a ton but is almost pure muscle. With Popeye arms. Ikari, Otawara's teammate, is a Big Eater himself, but while a tough, muscular guy, is built pretty slim.
 * Kabuto Kouji of Mazinger Z fame is occasionally shown to be one. Hell, in the Mazinkaiser movie, he eats about ten times as much as the rest of the table combined ([[media:vlcsnap-1738084.jpg|yes, those dishes are all his]]) before insisting that he's still hungry.
 * Boss is another, too.
 * Goro Makiba from UFO Robo Grendizer also counts.
 * Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist tends to do this, all while also eating his brother's share due to a certain handicap in that area.
 * Also Gluttony of the homunculi. He represents the deadly sin he's named after quite literally, and after  It's understandable though, since Gluttony is originally a part of   So, in a way, Gluttony is actually the Anthropomorphic Personification of "Big Eating".
 * An unusually dark example is in Drifting Classroom. Nakata is an insatiable eater. The problems: first, they're in a post apocalyptic wasteland with no way to get more food, so his eating is causing others to starve. Second, when he eats he summons an invincible gigantic insect monster that tries to kill everyone.
 * Najika, the main character of Kitchen Princess is portrayed as one of these, probably related to her absolute sense of taste.
 * Shiranui (seen here eating a Double-Double-Double) from Medaka Box; hilarious because she's also a scheming, Nabiki Tendô-esque little Moe girl.
 * Saya Otonashi from Blood Plus. Considering she's a vampire and normal food can't really satisfy her hunger in the same way that human blood does, it's a Justified Trope.
 * Kuro from Kurokami.
 * Chizuko from Mahoromatic is the smallest of the schoolgirls, yet she has a near-bottomless stomach.
 * Horo from Spice and Wolf doesn't wolf down an unrealistic amount of food like some of the other examples as fitting the more serious tone of the series, but she will eat herself sick if she's got enough apples and in the novels she loves cookies. She's had serious hangovers more than once, too.
 * Fuu of Samurai Champloo. She outdid every other contestant in a eating contest including fellow good eater Mugen, except for one, and only lost because of an unfortunate mistake she committed. A rare example of this trope, her appearance changes according to what she's had to eat recently. Usually she's slim and flat-chested, but after going all out on free food she gets Gonk levels of lard on her, only to lose it in a matter of hours, and start complaining again how hungry she is. Her metabolism is a frightening thing to behold.
 * Although it's presented as a sight gag, in one episode a group of thugs were searching for her because she had been spending counterfeit money her group stumbled upon in the woods, but by the time they crossed paths with her, she had bought enough food that she no longer resembled her original description.
 * Thor in Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok has lots of part-time jobs just so he can afford to eat more.
 * Uehara in Good Morning Call. The first meal we see him eat is four pizzas, all in one go.
 * Legato Bluesummers from Trigun is a relatively rare villain example. Word of God says that this was intended to be a humorous character trait, but also serves to make him creepy as hell depending on the context of the meal.
 * A more serious example in Hell Teacher Nube: when Kyoko is possessed by the spirit of an unborn child, she grows an extra mouth on her nape (which uses her twin ponytails as tentacles to snatch food from the vicinity.) It is impossibly ravenous, impossible to satisfy, and Kyoko does gain weight from whatever the mouth eats. When she discovers the suffering the child's soul is going through, she eats too, to stop it from trying to devour random objects and even classmates, until Nube exorcises the soul. And then Kyoko has to burn all the weight off with traditional exercise!
 * The World God Only Knows has Sumire, justified since she eats much (and mixes ramen with coffee!) to test the local food to improve her own ramen.
 * Aisha Clan-Clan and apparently all Ctarl-Ctarls from Outlaw Star. In the first episode showing her tangle with the heroes, she's seen vigorously stuffing her face at a restaurant, including chugging multiple bowls of stew--each of which were large enough to feed a table of four. Her appetite happens to fuel her super-strength and ability to turn into a feral tiger-creature, and she can be weakened by not eating. Her food tabs are a pretty sizable addition to the crew's financial woes.
 * Lina Inverse, Gourry Gabriev, Amelia and, in the anime, Pokota in Slayers. Justified in-universe as, basically, the more you do, the more you need to eat to sustain yourself. As a result, spellcasters need to take in lots of energy to counteract the drain of the spells they cast, and Lina is extremely careless about slinging spells around. Gourry's hyper-swordsman skills (not to mention his own considerable stature) take up a lot of energy for similar reasons. The only exemptions are Xellos, who is an Emotion Eater, and Zelgadis, who usually eats less due to his nature as a Chimera -- being one-third demon and one-third rock golem means he needs less physical sustenance. The one time he does eat like the others is to enjoy a victory feast for killing Copy Rezo and Zanaffar at the end of the first season.
 * Usagi (and sometimes Chibiusa) from Sailor Moon. Only one episode early in the first season ever concerned itself with her possible weight gain and even that was pretty much dealt with as a Compressed Vice. Sailor Moon Abridged plays this aspect up as a Running Gag, where Usagi is constantly called fat even though her character design is far from it. Her younger brother Shingo was sometimes said to be this too which makes sense since as an adolescent he's got some growth spurts to fuel (one of which appears to begin at the start of the second season).
 * Ranma ½ plays with this trope a bit.
 * Ranma Saotome is a borderline case; he does eat large meals, and is willing to swindle or steal food if particularly hungry, but the fights he gets into presumably burn a lot of calories and his meals aren't exceptional by ordinary standards. When he's been really pushing himself, however, he eats a lot more to recover (one anime episode has him consume five heaped bowls of rice after spending 72 straight hours doing nothing but train), and he can put away an impressive amount of food if pressed (an anime episode has him consume four full-course meals as part of a contest).
 * The OAV Akane and Her Sisters introduces Kurumi "Tendô", who put all Big Eaters in the series to shame. Despite being a small girl, she can wolf down record amount of food faster than any martial artist. She's also an Extreme Omnivore, able to eat Lethal Chef Akane's cooking -- and ask for more.
 * Sakura Sakurambo in Urusei Yatsura regularly puts away GIGANTIC servings of food, and despite that never loses her swimsuit model figure. This is first displayed in an eating challenge in Hawaii, where, despite having taken special diet pills, she effortlessly completes an eating challenge, to the point of forcing the restaurant to shut down permanently due to eating all of the food and sending them bankrupt from buying new ingredients. In the anime version, this culminates in her not only asking for dessert (after having polished off a final course consisting of, in order, a whole roast turkey, a whole roast pig and a whole roast cow), but then asking for the teens who didn't attend to bring her some Chinese food when they fetch dinner. In the manga, she goes to take a nap in the pool after the contest is over and causes the inflatable mattress to sink, despite not having gotten the Balloon Belly that Ataru and her uncle received.
 * Goku in Saiyuki.
 * Sanzo suggests this is justified because
 * Miaka Yuuki in Fushigi Yuugi takes this to quite the extremes. When the antagonists use food to lure her into traps twice...
 * Tamama in Keroro Gunsou has, on countless occasions, been shown eating an amount of sweet and snack foods that's bigger than he is.
 * One Piece
 * Monkey D. Luffy. Potentially justified in that A) the fighting he does would require a lot of energy, and B) that his elasticized stomach is capable of storing far, FAR more food than a normal human's. At one point, he wakes up after passing out and instantly knows exactly how many meals he missed, (5 per day, apparently) and later gets around this issue by somehow managing to eat while sleeping.
 * Jewelry Bonney would count as well. Hell, the trope's name is her sobriquet.
 * As would Kumadori of CP 9. Due to his intense training, he has the ability to control his body to a much further extent than ordinary humans can. The most prominent ability of his is Prehensile Hair, but the trope-related one is that after being locked in a fridge, he ate everything in it before busting his way out. By the time he escaped, he had digested all of the food, causing his figure to change considerably, then he took a few seconds to just burn off all that fat effortlessly.
 * The most extreme example from One Piece would be Wapol, who has eaten a Devil Fruit that allows him to eat anything! Every time he's seen, the only thing near is other people or he's eating something, including things like houses or cannons. Also, he eats other people if he wants to. When the Straw Hats first meet him, he starts munching on their ship. When he got his own cover-story, he was eating entire villages. He can even eat himself, which makes him skinnier.
 * A nicer female example is the anime-only Lily Ensotmach, her appetite being the biggest reason for her quick rapport with Luffy. Justified because  she's actually a giant who can assume human-size due to her Mini Mini no Mi Devil Fruit power. She even uses a dinner fork as her weapon of choice, as she can cause anything she touches to grow and shrink along with her.
 * Yukito Tsukishiro and Keroberos, from Cardcaptor Sakura. Yukito's excuse is that his body tries to compensate for, while Keroberos just likes to eat. Sakura's mother Nadeshiko was one too, being able to finish a large cake in one sitting despite being a frail girl.
 * Kullweet Envatilia (or Kuea for short), from Elemental Gelade.
 * Caren from Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch has been shown to be a Big Eater in the anime. She was a jerk about it, too; when Lucia and company were trying to convert her to their cause, she simply used the opportunity to leave them with her bill.
 * Nozomi, Rin, Urara, and Karen from Yes! Pretty Cure 5. (For those of you playing along at home, this is half the main cast, and four of the titular five.) Karen is something of an unusual example, as unlike most Big Eaters she eats calmly at a normal pace. Urara is normally the undisputed queen, but Rin and Karen can both out-eat her when they feel it necessary (i.e. when they're trying to out-eat each other). Also, Komachi was a big eater when she was younger.
 * Digimon
 * Tai and all the Digimon in Digimon Adventure. Justified in case of the Digimon, since they need to have a minimal stash of energy to transform into their evolved forms; once Agumon attempted to digivolve on an empty stomach... and couldn't. While Tai is a growing pre-teen and pretty athletic, it still doesn't justify the amounts of food he ate.
 * Zoe from Digimon Frontier. She out-ate JP!
 * Naruto
 * Uzumaki Naruto. Like Luffy, Naruto never seems to gain any weight from his overeating.
 * Hyuga Hinata, played for laughs in a ramen-eating contest omake.
 * Tsunade, after she wakes up  Considering the circumstances, it's rather understandable.
 * Mikoto Minagi from My-HiME, and both Mikotos (the cat and the human) in Mai-Otome.
 * Kikuchiyo from Samurai 7; however, he is both the largest of the seven and, well, a cyborg.
 * Demons in the series Konjiki no Gash Bell eat their food whole, their head transforming into some strange eating machine as a result. Main character Gash is no exception, often eating poor hapless yellowtail tuna alive immediately after catching one.
 * The title character of Flint the Time Detective. His appetite wasn't just for gags, however, it was also his Achilles' Heel; Flint would become weak if he had to fight on an empty stomach.
 * Another Sakura: the one from Amaenaideyo!!. She eats enough food to feed the whole temple, and yet never loses her great figure.
 * Yako from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro eats insatiably, despite being a small, teenaged girl -- paralleling Neuro's appetite for mysteries. Her ability often helps solve crimes: her stomach is so powerful that she can eat any poison with no ill effects, and she can even taste how much "love" went into preparing the food.
 * Momoka in Touka Gettan. She first meets a couple of characters by eating their lunches.
 * Allen Walker in D Gray Man. Just look at how much food he orders when he first enters the Black Order...
 * L from Death Note never stops eating sweets. Apparently if you use your brains enough you don't have to worry about getting fat. At 179 cm and 50 kg, it must be true, right?
 * Count D of Pet Shop of Horrors, scarily enough, can sugar-binge L under the table.
 * Takeshi Momoshiro and Ryoma Echizen from The Prince of Tennis. Their friends and teammates shudder at the mere thought of having them tag along for burgers.
 * Ryô Saeba from City Hunter uses to eat huge "lunches" accompanied by two liters of eggnog.
 * Kurumi and Manami, Kyôsuke's sisters, in Kimagure Orange Road. Hatta and Komatsu truly didn't know what they were getting into when they asked the girls out for pizza. In addition to it, Kurumi is a Lethal Chef.
 * Note that it's another case justified by their Esper powers; the more they use them, the more they get hungry and need food to recover the energy. And since Kurumi tends to be a little gung-ho in regards to them...
 * Based on the DVD booklets and supplementary manga, growing mages experiencing Training from Hell in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha need to eat a lot to replenish energy and Mana. Belkan users, in particular, burn plenty of calories. Thus, Subaru and Erio tend to really pile on the food during meal time.
 * Chiaki from Magikano. She talks and thinks about food near-constantly, and she fantasizes about living in a Gingerbread House full of sweets... however, she exercises near-constantly, too, and says that she likes to exercise even more than she likes to eat.
 * Yuri Cube in Galaxy Fraulein Yuna. (Maybe subverted since she's an android...)
 * The protagonist from Ryofuko-chan manages to consume an impressive amount of food for her size. The fact that she's still growing might help, but still...
 * C. C. from Code Geass loves pizza. Fans like to joke that it goes straight to her trunk, hence the Fan Nickname "Pizza Butt".
 * Shizuka Doumeki from xxxHolic is not only a Big Eater, but he's an extraordinarily picky one at that. Apart from demanding stupidly difficult-to-make dishes from Watanuki, he also adamantly refuses to eat anything made by someone he doesn't know or approve of. (His grandfather Haruka mentioned that it was nearly impossible to take him out to any restaurants because of this.)
 * Yuko from S.S. Astro. She brings multi-level bento to school everyday, and eats after every class.
 * Three female examples from Ikki Tousen: Hakufu, Ryuubi and Chouhi. Both Chouhi and Ryuubi do look a bit pudgier, but in Chouhi's case it's more likely to be muscle than fat since she's a Cute Bruiser.
 * Baki the Grappler once ate enough Chinese food to give him a Balloon Belly, and then 8 litres of sugar fruit mixed with water to.
 * The eponymous Yaiba, together with Gerozaemon and Musashi, especially Musashi, during the firsts arc. Musashi in his first appearence was able to steal and devour a whole roasted boar in about two panels or so.
 * This was used by the Spiderman to tend a trap to them twice. And they fell for it twice!.
 * One of the few cases when this is NOT Played for Laughs is Kyouko Sakura from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, who eats a lot
 * Melan of Brigadoon Marin and Melan sure can pack away the rice, eating gallons of it at a time. Makes a bit of sense: he's a cyborg who refuels with human food.
 * Kyosuke from Hentai Kamen is shown to have a comically tremendous appetite after wearing a particularly powerful pair of panties.
 * Junta from Ame Nochi Hare. His voracious appetite in virtually any situation is somewhat of a running gag.
 * Index and Aisa Himegami of A Certain Magical Index, although the latter is only a big eater when it comes to burgers. Index, however, will probably swallow an entire kitchen before being satisfied. Fortunately for her (and misfortunately for the guy), Touma knows how to cook.
 * In the spinoff series A Certain Scientific Railgun, it's an Informed Ability that Judgment branch supervisor Konori Mii is a Big Eater - she orders a lot of food when her kohai offers to go on a food run, but we never see her actually eating it. We do see her drinking gallons of milk at a sitting, though. (And the Beach Episode shows she's of the "all the nutrition goes to her well-endowed bosom" variety of female Big Eaters.)
 * JoJo's Bizarre Adventure plays this trope a bit more seriously than usual. In Part 2, we are introduced to the Pillar Men, an ancient vampiric race of superbeings that devoured other lifeforms. Eventually, their appetites grew too massive, and they would have consumed all life on Earth had they not come up with a way to create more satisfying meals. Namely, by carving magical stone masks and using them on humans in order to turn them into vampires.
 * Bleach has Yoruichi, who is shown in episode 114 putting away massive amounts of food.
 * Orihime, to a certain extent. Her friends lampshade it by saying that everything she eats goes to her Gag Boobs.
 * Satellizer from Freezing towards hamburgers.
 * Hinata from Kaichou wa Maid-sama is both but he lost weight but not his appetite.
 * Machi from Nagasarete Airantou will eat anything. Except spicy foods.
 * Nana from Elfen Lied thinks with her stomach and goes into a trance whenever food is mentioned.
 * Miharu in Girls Bravo never stops eating, or questioning whether newly discovered objects (for instance, butterflies) are edible.
 * Honey from Ouran High School Host Club can eat three entire cakes even after a full meal. It's also revealed that, once a week, he eats five cakes as a midnight snack, and later in the episode he decides to do so three times a week instead.
 * Tadashi from Special A is nearly always seen stuffing his face. Good thing a Supreme Chef.
 * Akira from Watashi ni XX Shinasai at first was never seen unless he had a snack in hand.
 * Bleed Kaga from Future GPX Cyber Formula eats anything (except for foods that are too sweet) to a degree.
 * Wako Agemaki from Star Driver gets hungry easily and is never once seen to turn down food or a chance at a meal.
 * Itto and Mayu from Tokko eat constantly, even right at the beginning of a battle.
 * Karuta from Inu x Boku SS, almost always has some to eat in her hand if not she will.
 * In Saint Beast, whenever there's lots of food around Gai tends to stock up his plate immediately.
 * Karuta from Inu x Boku SS, almost always has some to eat in her hand if not she will.
 * In Saint Beast, whenever there's lots of food around Gai tends to stock up his plate immediately.

Fat Characters
"Chouji: I'M NOT FAT! I'M BIIIIIIIG BOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEED!"
 * Bob from Gungrave is constantly seen eating, usually a drumstick of chicken, and while he is shown as skinny when first introduced in the past, he steadily grows more rotund over the series as his habits catch up with him. After the series returns to the present,.
 * Akimichi Chouji from Naruto, due to his clan's fighting style (and possibly genetics, his dad Chouza is similarly built). Also, being called fat triggers his Berserk Button:


 * Genma Saotome from Ranma ½ is referred to in the series as a glutton, and he seems unable to resist stealing and eating any bit of food that he comes across. His actual girth, however, seems to be more one part stocky build to one part wearing nothing but a baggy old gi to one part turning into a big fat panda when splashed with cold water.
 * Buccha from Air Gear is a rare Double Subversion. He eats a lot, and appears to be tremendously fat. However, he's only got about 6% body fat; his appearance is due to blood pooling in his stomach from overeating. When he exerts himself, the blood goes to his muscles, and his ridiculously sculpted body is revealed.
 * Conan's friend Genta in Detective Conan.
 * Also, more than one victim is pretty pudgy and a big eater.
 * Gluttony from Fullmetal Alchemist. True to his name, he's willing to eat anything or anyone.
 * Kurita from Eyeshield 21. The man ate 100 cream puffs on one occassion, and I wouldn't doubt it if he was the one who ate the bulk of the 100 servings of beef in a challenge with another team. In an Omake, Kurita ate 4 bowls of rice that are stacked to tower way above the bowl itself with enough food there to feed a large family. That's his breakfast.
 * Chang aka Cyborg 006 from Cyborg 009. Note that he's a restaurateur with his own business on top of that, and that he also worked in the food industry before being turned into a Cyborg.
 * In The Prince of Tennis there's Kei Tanishi from the Higa team. Big, mean, with the physique of a Sumo wrestler, and able to put away HUGE amounts of food. Seeing him eat yakiniku made Fuji lose his appetite, and that's saying much.
 * Kamiya from Speed Grapher, to absolutely grotesque levels.
 * Ryu from Gatchaman, but even more so his Battle of the Planets counterpart Tiny.
 * Tokita from Paprika fits this trope.
 * Chihiro's parents in Spirited Away definitely count as this. They see a buffet, sit down and start stuffing their faces. When Chihiro returns a few minutes later they've eaten everything on the table and are about four times as big. And they've transformed into pigs. To be fair, it was magical food.
 * Yajirobe, the overweight samurai from Dragon Ball. He managed to kill and eat Piccolo's giant, dragonesque minion Cymbal, and still wanted more.


 * Back to
