Yuka Kinoshita (木下ゆうか, Kinoshita Yūka, born 4 February 1985) is a Japanese YouTuber and competitive eater.
Career
Yuka Kinoshita started an eating-focused YouTube channel in 2014, five years after her debut in Japanese competitive eating competitions.
Kinoshita uploads daily videos in which she eats anywhere between 5000 and 23,000 calorie meals. Usually Kinoshita edits her videos into 5 to 7 minute vlogs, but occasionally she uploads longer "live eating" videos in the tradition of mukbang. As of November 2016, her videos have been viewed more than 680 million times.
Kinoshita's videos are particularly accessible to English-speaking viewers because they are accompanied by English-language subtitles. Partly for this reason, she has attracted attention from English-language news sources. She has also been featured in the Japanese television programme, 大食い (Oogui).
