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.”
