Meet Japanese twin sisters with Guinness World Records for height difference

Michie lives at her parent's home and she helps with the day-to-day running of the temple run by her father.

Michie has a condition called congenital spinal epiphyseal dysplasia, a bone disorder that prevents her from growing.

According to Guinness World Records, the Kikuchi sisters - fraternal twins, a result of the fertilisation of two separate eggs - were born on 15 October 1989.

But for the 33-year-old sisters, their facial features and height set them apart. Yoshie stands tall at 162.5 cm (5 ft 4 in), and Michie stands at 87.5 cm ( 2ft 10.5 in).

Twins are expected to be identical-looking individuals.

The twin sisters have won the Guinness World Records title for the greatest height differential in living non-identical twins (female).

There's a staggering 75 cm (2ft 5.5 in) between sister Yoshie and Michie Kikuchi, who lives in Okayama, Japan.

Japanese twin sisters with an extraordinary height difference have entered Guinness World Records.
