is a female Japanese competitive eater and singer. Her popularity has helped produce a resurgence in Japanese competitive eating, or ''ōgui'', after the outcry following the death of a Japanese schoolboy imitating an eating stunt in 2002 resulted in a three-year hiatus for major Japanese eating contests. ==Contest history== In TV Tokyo's ("Gluttonous King" ) contest held in the fall of 2005, open to both men and women, Sone qualified for the finals and beat out Miyuki Iwata, then considered the leading Japanese female competitive eater after the legendary (and currently inactive) Takako Akasaka, for (sixth place ) by just 6 grams of bread. TV Tokyo followed up its mixed gender contest with a (women's only contest ) in the spring of 2006 in Okinawa. Sone easily won the event and had a comfortable enough lead in the final contest that she could afford to fix her makeup while the contest clock was running. Gal Sone improved to 3rd from 6th in the fall 2006 ("Gluttonous King" ) contest, held in Hokkaidō and retained her crown in the spring 2007 ("Gluttonous Queen" ) contest in Hawaii. In addition to her "Gluttonous King/Queen" competitions, Sone has made numerous other television appearances, most notably a weekly Wednesday morning contest with "The Giant" Nobuyuki Shirota, runner-up in Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in 2004. On July 11, 2006, Sone ate 6 kg of curry in 23 minutes (Shirota required 14 minutes) In another telecast, the "Gal" consumed 40,000 calories in several restaurants. In a recent program, Gal Sone attempted in a single meal to exceed the 15,000 calories that it is claimed that Elvis Presley consumed every day near the end of his life. When an X-ray was performed on her stomach, it appeared to be normal size, but its connection to the small intestine was larger than normal. Gal Sone has appeared in a commercial for Aoki's Pizza, who created a (mayonnaise pizza ) in her honor. Mayonnaise sauce is her favourite sauce.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gal Sone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
