The pair practiced for hours to perfect their technique before the official attempt, which was timed to coincide with Thursday's Guinness World Records Day.
Guinness stipulated Shirahata had to be covered from her feet to her shoulders in cling wrap without any gaps.
An adjudicator for the record-keeping organization kept time and inspected Shirahata to make sure the attempt was an official record. Dekakin was awarded a certificate once the time was verified at 1 minute, 58 seconds.
Dekakin joked that he didn't want the video of his attempt to go viral.
"If people don't see my video, then surely people wouldn't try and beat this record," Dekakin said.
