Rin Kambe, 35, has acquired the moniker “Rapunzel of Japan” since she hasn’t cut her almost 163cm-long hair in 15 years.

Rin never had the opportunity to let her hair grow long because she was a member of the women’s soccer team and was from Tokyo.

When Rin started dancing at the age of 12, she decided to style her own hair and use it as a “weapon of self-expression.” 15 years after her last haircut, her hair is now 5 feet 10 inches (177.8 cm) long, 4 inches (10.16 cm) longer than Rin herself.

Despite the fact that her long hair occasionally gets in the way of her daily duties, such as getting dressed, the Japanese dancer and model believe she epitomizes “Asian beauty.” She says she adores her long hair.

The 35-year-old Japanese woman claims she is constantly asked if her hair is real and that different people react differently to it. They are fantastic for some people, but they are too long for others. Rin claims that, despite constantly receiving negative comments on social media due to her unusual appearance, she has come to understand that everyone has the right to their own ideas.

Despite the occasional criticism, Rin Kambe views her hair as a “beauty item” and has no immediate intentions to cut it. She used them as “weapons of expression” and even incorporated them into her dancing performances.
