Japanese Body Language – 顔が広い

Posted by Bill Belew on January 20th, 2008 in Japan | No Comments

顔が広い[かおがひろい, kao ga hiroi] know a lot of people; be widely known; have a large circle of acquaintances

This is one expression that I heard more often than the others.

A guy/girl with a wide face is not a fatso, rather, it's a person who's face is seen in many place. That is, they are well known, have a large circle of friends and acquaintances.

A real estate agent, a sales person needs to have this kind of face in order to be effective.

Who's the most well known person you know?
