If you've ever stared into a celebrity's eyes and felt something off, maybe even a little haunted, you might've been gazing into the curious world of Sanpaku eyes. It's the eerie, fascinating trait that links a seemingly unrelated mix of icons such as Princess Diana, Billie Eilish, Michael Jackson, and Lily-Rose Depp.
So, what exactly is it, and why are so many mysterious, talented, and sometimes tragic figures connected to it?
What Are Sanpaku Eyes?
"Sanpaku" (三白眼) is a Japanese term that means "three whites." It refers to eyes where the white space (sclera) is visible on three sides of the iris. There are two types: Yin Sanpaku, which is when the white is visible below the iris, and Yang Sanpaku, which appears above the iris.
Most people have some white on the left and right sides of their irises; that's normal. But when white creeps in above or below, that's when the Sanpaku signal flares.
Why Do People Care?
According to ancient Japanese face reading and a whole lot of modern conspiracy TikToks videos, Sanpaku eyes aren't just a physical quirk. They're a spiritual red flag, a cosmic indicator that someone is either deeply out of balance or touched by greatness.

Coincidence or a Cosmic Clue?
Is Sanpaku just another celebrity myth? Maybe. But there's something undeniably magnetic and a little chilling about how many high-profile figures share this trait.
Sanpaku eyes aren't a medical diagnosis or a horoscope. But they are an uncanny pattern, one that threads together some of the most captivating (and sometimes tormented) figures in modern culture.
