{{quote|''"This...this girl's stomach is a Cosmos unto itself! It's connected to the void of the universe!"''|'''Eating Contest Judge''' (on Fuu), ''[[Samurai Champloo]]''}}
A character (who may or may not be fat) eats enough for an entire football team, usually devastating the whole table -- and perhaps entire restaurants -- with their insatiable hunger. Often combined with a speed-eating technique that makes food seem to vanish spontaneously from the plate. A common sight gag with this kind of character in cartoons or anime is having piles upon piles of plates and bowls stack up as the character chows down. May indulge in [[Cut a Slice, Take The Rest]].
On occasion it can be used as a way to fulfill the needs of many [[Required Secondary Powers]] and thus make a character's abilities more believable. For instance, characters with a [[Healing Factor]], [[Super Speed]], or the ability to [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|change shape and size]], who would normally have to [[No Conservation of Energy|flout the laws of physics]] [[
In comics and manga it's become more common to make a [[Comically Serious]] character or [[Badass]] [[Action Girl]] a Big Eater as a way to add a humorous quirk that doesn't actually take away from the character's seriousness.

Typical dialogue in a restaurant:
{{quote| '''Other party member:''' We want <number of people> portions of <whatever food>, please!<br />
'''Big Eater:''' [[
Another typical line goes thus:
{{quote| '''Big Eater:''' ''(after ordering enough for everybody)'' [[Bait and Switch|So what are you guys having?]]}}
