A new world record was set in Japan. Toshie Kawakami (57) was announced as the person with the longest eyebrow in the world at a length of 17.2cm (6.7 inch). Kawakami says she hide the eyebrow behind her ear.

A barber once accidentally chopped her eyebrow hair down to 3cm, but it quickly grew back. Apparently Kawakami is going to set a new record soon. The eyebrow grows at a rate of a centimeter a month, so Kawakami is going for the 20cm record in about three months. We wish her and all weird Japanese people good luck!
