The Hirokazu TANAKAs Social Movement

Official YouTube channel of The Hirokazu TANAKAs Social Movement.
Started in 1994 from connections among people sharing the same name Hirokazu Tanaka, the movement has grown into a community of over 260 members.
In October 2022, 178 Hirokazu Tanakas gathered in Shibuya, Tokyo, breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest same-name gathering—surpassing the previous record of 164 people named Martha Stewart.
Just 98 days later, the record was surpassed in Belgrade, Serbia, where 256 people named Milica Jovanović gathered. The story drew worldwide attention, reported in 44 countries and 28 languages.
Inspired by this, we founded the International Same Name Association (ISNA) to connect same-name groups globally for friendship, culture, and peace.
We also created Tanaka Hirokazu Company, turning an ordinary name into a brand that develops products and ideas celebrating diversity and connection.
