The story
Professional mahjong player and TV personality Sayaka Okada (32) revealed on her X account on September 26 that she was “born without nose hair.” She wrote, “I wonder if I’d have less trouble with rhinitis if I actually had nose hair,” adding the wish, “I’d love just a moderate amount of nose hair, pleeeease.” The unusual confession made its way to 5ch’s Geinou/Sports Express+ board, where it sparked doubts — “Is being born without nose hair even a real thing?” — alongside a broader chat about what nose hair actually does and body hair in general.

What people said
I told a friend who'd booked a pubic-hair waxing appointment, 'Who are you even showing off smooth-and-hairless skin to at 50?'
and she said, 'It helps keep things clean during your period and stuff, that's why I do it.'
For a while she'd just casually bring up her period dates and her waxing appointment schedule like it was nothing, and I ended up memorizing all of it — which honestly made me a little sad.
My 26-year-old girlfriend apparently used to worry about having too little body hair.
Barely anything down there, and maybe 5 underarm hairs if that.
She said she wanted a hairy partner, but I'm not exactly hairy myself.
People say it's a hormone thing, but my head of hair isn't thin, so I don't really get it.
Jealous (of people who don't have to deal with that).
Being tall alone bumps you up +4 points out of a possible 10.
So I've got a thick head of hair but barely any body hair — does that mean female hormones are dominant in me?
I heard a lot of Chinese people back in the day didn't shave their armpit hair.
People from the Japanese archipelago (Yamato, Ryukyu, Ainu) are unusual for East Asians — on average their body hair runs thicker. Though if you watch [redacted] videos from China, Taiwan, or Korea, you do see hairy people there too.
My bad —
that reply was meant for Re: #64.
so unlike all of you, I've never had to deal with hair removal"
— there was a former TV announcer who flexed like that on Downtown Matsumoto's show.
Who was that again?
I dated 7 women before getting married, and including my wife, 4 of them had no underarm hair at all.
Not shaved — it genuinely never grew in.
Statistically speaking, there's probably a fair number of women out there who just don't grow armpit hair.
Background and Talking Points
Nose hair is generally understood to physically filter out dust, pollen, and bacteria inhaled through the nose, and the thread was full of practical concerns along those lines — comments like “without it, dust and germs get a free pass in” and “PM2.5 would go straight to your lungs.” Meanwhile, how much or how thick someone’s body hair grows is largely attributed to genetics and hormone balance, though folk claims like “thick eyebrows mean thick pubic hair” have no scientific backing and remain pure anecdote. Okada herself has said in the past that her body hair runs thick, so this confession — that nose hair specifically never grew in — was framed as just one quirk of her particular body. On 5ch, a single confession about a physical trait tends to snowball into a debate about what that trait is even for, plus general chat about body hair overall, and this thread followed that familiar pattern.
