Kazuhisa Uekusa, an artist from Japan, is known to residents of the Land of the Rising Sun for his performances on television shows.
But the man decided to go further and immortalize his name in the pages of the Guinness Book of Records.
To do this, he chose an unusual method - he went down in history as the record holder for the number of matches lit using plungers attached to his body.
In one minute he managed to light 73 matches.
To set the record, the man had to expose the upper half of his body, because he decided to attach the plungers to his chest.
Waving them from side to side, he lit the matches glued to the table one by one, moving on his knees until the allotted time was up.
The end result did not completely satisfy Uekusa, so he soon returned to the stage with a firm intention to win another title.
This time, the Japanese man appeared before the public in leopard shorts.
However, he soon took off his clothes, remaining in only his boxers.
But before he got naked, Kazuhisa carefully placed five glasses on top of each other, separating them with sheets of paper.
Each piece of paper had a ribbon attached to it, the other end of which was glued to the disk. The latter became the man's "victim": Uekusa grabbed it with his buttocks and, spinning, was able to remove the paper, causing the glasses to fall into one pile.
Thus, a new record was set: for the largest number of pieces of paper extracted from a stack of glasses using the body – 5.
