Japan YouTuber famed for ‘world's longest chin'
A Japanese man has gone viral online and inspired many people by turning his remarkably long chin, which was once the source of ridicule and rejection, into a personal brand.
The man, known online as Jonouchi, has nearly 350,000 followers on YouTube and proudly refers to himself as the 'YouTuber with the world's longest chin'.
He has also amassed over 400,000 followers on another social media platform.
Jonouchi revealed that his unusually long chin began developing around the age of five and that none of his family members share the same feature.
Childhood photos show his chin appeared normal until the age of three, but by the time he was five, it had already started to look noticeably pointed.
When he entered the fifth grade, a classmate told him his chin was really long, and he began to realise just how prominent it had become.
The unusual growth also puzzled him. He drank milk every day in the hope of growing taller, but said: 'Only my chin got longer.'
When he sought medical advice and underwent an X-ray at a dental hospital, the doctors were reportedly so shocked that they exclaimed they had 'never seen such a chin'.
The exact cause of his condition remains unknown.
X-rays revealed abnormal bone structures, but common explanations such as genetics or excessive calcium intake from milk were ruled out.
Jonouchi said that his distinctive chin brought significant personal challenges early in life, especially at school and in his love life.
He was nicknamed 'Chin' at school.
However, he chose to embrace the 'flaw' and turn it into his personal brand on social media.
He now proudly showcases his chin and hopes to inspire others to embrace their differences.
He even jokes about another personal 'flaw', saying: 'I am only 168cm tall; if someone could give me just 2cm more, I would be thrilled.'
His story sparked a lively online discussion.

Leonardo DiCaprio's ‘covered face' sparks wave of bizarre conspiracy theories
Ammon News - Leonardo DiCaprio's face has got people talking—but perhaps not for the reasons you'd expect. The Hollywood star first achieved international fame with roles in Romeo & Juliet (1996) and as Titanic heartthrob Jack in 1997, going on to become one of the world's highest-paid actors and the recipient of many prestigious awards. So, given how instantly recognisable the Oscar winner is, it's no surprise he likes to conceal his identity sometimes to avoid attracting crowds. However, fans are starting to notice a trend, leading to a wild conspiracy theory that the person we've been seeing at some huge A-list events… might not have been Leo at all. In June, Leo, 50, joined Kim Kardashian, Orlando Bloom, and Sydney Sweeney in Venice for the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. Naturally, the whole thing was a lavish, very public affair, but it seems Leo had hopes of keeping a low profile, as he was photographed covering his face. The Revenant star pulled a black baseball cap so far down that his face was not visible at all while he roamed the Italian streets, covering his mouth with his hand. Dressed in casual attire of a white shirt and navy jacket, if you didn't know it was Leo, well, you probably wouldn't have known it was Leo, prompting questions among social media users about whether he sent a body double out in his place.
