Humanity has been breaking records beyond strange, like this one of the boy who broke the world record of sharpening 10 pencils in 3 minutes and 38 seconds: Insane!
But today we’re going to talk about the 178 Hirokazu Tanakas who broke the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people with the same first and last name!

The event was organized by Hirokazu Tanaka, 53, from Tokyo. This was her third attempt to break the record with the first taking place in 2011 and the second in 2017. Her aim was to beat the record set in 2005 by 164 people named Martha Stewart in the USA.

He founded the Hirokazu Tanakas Eponymous Association, which aims to raise awareness of how people can become friends over something as trivial as having the same name. He worked to find other Hirokazu Tanakas, including placing advertisements in major newspapers across the country.
Born in 2019, this Hirokazu Tanaka is a new addition to the lineup:
