Tokyo (AFP): Remembering names at a party is never easy, except at a gathering in Tokyo on Saturday (Oct 29) where all 178 guests were called Hirokazu Tanaka - breaking a record previously held by 164 Martha Stewarts.

Hirokazu Tanakas from all walks of life came together for the record attempt, including a three-year-old toddler, an 80-year-old and even one who flew in from Hanoi.
