He was and is a relatively small fellow and yet was dominant like none other. It belied the traditional belief that the bigger folks would have bigger capacities. His secret, if you will?
"Kobayashi expands his stomach for a competition by eating larger and larger amounts of food, and then exercises to ensure that fat will not impede expansion of his stomach during a competition."
He goes on to state in a Japan Times article:
"You have to gradually build up your gut by eating larger and larger amounts of food, and then be sure to work it all off so body fat doesn't put a squeeze on the expansion of your stomach in competition," he said.
It's the large persons lap band of fat that acts as a seat-belt, a restrictor plate, on the stomach's ability to expand, and being able to train it to further expand. When Kobayashi would train he would be able to truly extend his stomach to distended proportions that otherwise, if he carried too much excess body fat around the waist and stomach area, he wouldn't be able to.
What if this is similar to the petite stars assholes, not having the meat, the hips, "dat ass", surrounding it to act as a restrictor plate, a seat-belt, on the asshole's otherwise stupendous ability to expand, to dilate. Both allowing them to train it to further dilation than otherwise and during shooting scenes allow it to stretch further (by both being able to have trained it thus but also by not having that restriction).
Again, this is all spitballing. I was just immediately reminded of this when I read your post and thought, "Hmmm".
