King of Ramen (Shueisha)

JAKARTA - A Japanese man named Sokusekisai Oyama was nicknamed the "King of Instant Ramen". This happened because he admitted to eating instantarized ramen every day for the last 30 years.

Citing the Oddity Central page, Oyama estimates that he has eaten more than 10 thousand servings of ramen throughout his life. His love for ramen even brought Oyama to become a bureaucrat of ramen.

Sokuskisai Oyama himself was born under the name Masaya Oyama in Nemira, Tokyo, in 1959. He studied higher at Gunma University and earned a master's degree in engineering.

Before becoming a bureaucrat, Oyama worked as an illustrator. His love for ramen grew when Oyama was still a student.

Since liking instantarized ramen so much, Oyama has also started to collect packaging from all types of ramen she tasted. To date, he has collected more than 6 thousand types of ramen packaging.

Then Oyama switched from an instant bureaucratic lover to a ramen expert in Japan. This started when he won a championship in a game program or game show about instant noodles on Tokyo TV in 1995.

At the event, the contestants competed with their insights to determine who understood the most about instant noodles. Oyama's victory at the event made his name soar and became known to the Japanese people.

Since then, Oyama has received many job offers related to instantarized ramens and has often appeared on television. Oyama's love for instantarized ramen has finally continued until now he is dubbed the "King of Instant Ramen" in Japan.

Sokoseksai Oyama admitted that he really enjoyed this lifestyle and career. However, he did not provide any comments regarding health problems regarding the continuous consumption of instant noodles.
