My Take
Calling yourself the King of Beasts should be unbearable. Takei gets away with it because the record is real: a national decathlon champion who only took up track seriously at university and turned it into a title. On television he talks endlessly about controlling your own body. That is not a gimmick. It is the same obsession that made him win.
