MUNCHIES introduces FUEL, a new series dedicated to the high performance diets of athletes. We follow Byamba, current world sumo champion, through his average day of consuming 10,000 calories. In and out of the dojo, Byamba shows us how to shop, cook, and eat chankonabe- a Japanese stew eaten by sumo wrestlers to pack on the pounds. Itadakimasu!

Rest in peace Byamba 😢 It is heartbreaking when man like you leaves us.... You were one of my heroes and you will always be.

Damn i didn’t realize he had passed until reading the comments. Sucks that he is gone, he seemed like such a fun happy person and the world needs more people like that.

This dude is literally such a gentle giant, I even actually want to hug and cuddle with him so much. Sadly he passed away, hope he is having a good heaven :(

I just Love how so many of the sumo professionals are willing to be in so many videos and the fact that they're so humble.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so positive. The happiness just radiates from him.
