What must it be like to be recognized as the best in the entire world at something? There can only be one recipient of the most honorary degrees, owner of the biggest collection of belly button lint, or person dragged the furthest by a horse while on fire. Out of all of the billions of people on the planet, only an elite few get to claim the honor of being the best at something. Then there is Cherry Yoshitake, who not only knows what it is like to hold a world record, but he has held so many that he has the world record for the most world records.

Yoshitake, who goes by the name “Mr. Cherry,” is a native of Japan. He was born in 1980 and makes his living by breaking world records. He may not be able to claim that he is the fastest runner, strongest weightlifter, or richest entrepreneur, but he does boast claim to 21 current world records and a lifetime total of around 50.

Mr. Cherry’s achievements include:
