Japanese man breaks Guinness World Record by sticking 9 cans onto his head using air suction
Shunichi Kanno has broken the Guinness World Records title for the most drink cans placed onto the head using air suction.
The clip from November 26 in Nagawa, Japan, shows Shunichi stick nine drink cans onto his forehead and face.
Shunichi hopes to attempt another Guinness World Records title for the most drink cans placed on the body using air suction.
Shunichi discovered his ability during middle school.
"Everyone thought I had a big forehead, so I thought I could something unique with it," he said.
However, it didn't occur to Shunichi that his skill could be a world record until he discovered the video of Jamie Keeton, who is the previous record holder of this title.
"I was searching online to see if anyone else can this - and I found this guy who can stick eight cans," Shunichi recalled.
Beating the record became his mission. At the time of discovering this Guinness World Records title, Shunichi was only able to stick three cans onto his head simultaneously. It took him around half a year of practice to beat the previous record.
Now a record-holder, Shunichi often goes out to his favourite neighbourhood, the Golden Gai, an area in Shinjuku known for its nightlife, with his official certificate held in his arm.
He said: "Everyone who sees it, no matter where they are from the world, recognises it. And when I show them my skills to them, they get excited. It's a real icebreaker."
Shunichi says he is in touch with the previous record holder Jamie via social media.
According to Shunichi, Jamie wants to reclaim the title by adding even more cans.
