The Oldest-Ever Living Man On Record
Jiroemon Kimura, who was born on April 19, 1897 when Queen Victoria was still on the throne and worked as a postal employee, is “particularly fond of red bean cake and rice”.
Mr Kimura has 14 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren. He currently lives with his son’s family in Kyotango, near Kyoto.
The previous holder of the title of the world’s oldest man ever was held by Christian Mortensen, a Danish-American, who lived to 115 years 252 days and died in 1998.
