Yes, that was who I was thinking of. Sweet little old ladies!

Well, since I notice a pattern here my guess is that Kanda Asako has the largest collection of smartphone jewellry. Japanese women love that stuff and someone has to have more than anyone else.

Very close, but no cigar.

6. Chris Walton made it into the Guinness Book for being the only Walton who seriously wished his parents would have called him John-Boy.

1/2 point for originality.
Goodnight, Grandpa!

It is some kind of Otaku thing right?
More Christian Louboutin than anyone else? A whole manshon filled from floor to ceiling.

Oh yes... floor to ceiling. Not shoes though. 'What' has she filled it with to give her the World's record?

Oh no... much worse. When I even think of it, I have to reach for the insulin.

I can't imagine anything worse... "Ka-waiiiii!"
That's another point to you, though. Well done! World's record for Hello Kitty memorabilia.

Can I borrow some insulin? Japanese women's quest for love does take some peculiar forms at times.

Well it looks as if this quiz was of no real interest to most. I guess if it doesn't have numbers or literary characters in it it won't fly. Right now Kumabjorn is in the lead with two points out of a possible eleven, and I'll let it ride until tonight before I post the answers. I'll be gone tomorrow morning for the week so I'd better end this quiz before we leave.

Well I've figured out that it is most likely a bunch of Guiness World Book record holders. But some of those records are really really obscure so it is extremely difficult to figure out which is which. I knew about Okawa because she was on Japanese TV a Little while ago most others doesn't Watch Japanese TV (although you could probably find her on YouTube as well but that violates the rules) I assumed Kanda was some sort of Otaku since that is the most common denominator for unknown Japanese in a quiz like this but without hints I probably wouldn't have hit on Kitty since she is no longer the hot item in Japan.
Hence if some of them is a guy who can hold more cigarrettes in his mouth than anyone else, the chance that anyone can associate that feat with an actual name is probably slim to none. It is not that the quiz isn't interesting, it is the kind of quiz where the answers are more fascinating because the say something about the human condition.
