Guinness record holders -- a pair of Mexican brothers -- have a record of 98 percent hair cover. Yu underwent ear surgery in Shanghai last week to remove hair that caused him to lose part of his hearing. The hirsute 26-year-old Yu, who uses the name 'woolboy' for his email, has hair all over his body, save the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet. He has an average of 41 hairs per 1 sq cm (.16 sq inch), a condition doctors term 'atavism'. TO MATCH FEATURE LIFE CHINA HAIRBOY REUTERS/Claro Cortes IV

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - He is an aspiring rock star, but Yu Zhenhuan's claim to fame for now is that he is the hairiest man in all of China.


Hair covers 96 percent of Yu's body. He may be surpassed only by a pair of Mexican brothers -- Victor "Larry" and Gabriel "Danny" Ramos Gomez -- listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as having 98 percent hair cover.


The 26-year-old Yu is candid and unembarrassed about a condition that has made him a phenomenon in China since he was born.
