Japanese supercentenarian
About
Jump to
Yukichi Chuganji (中願寺 雄吉, Chūganji Yūkichi, March 23, 1889 – September 28, 2003) was a Japanese supercentenarian and the world's oldest man (and later the world's oldest person) until his death at age 114 years, 189 days. Chuganji was one of the few men to hold the world's oldest person title, along with Emiliano Mercado del Toro in 2006–2007 and Jiroemon Kimura in 2012–2013, but Chuganji was not recognized as the world's oldest person during his lifetime; back then, the case of Kamato Hongo was still recognized and considered valid by the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) and Guinness World Records, who both withdrew their previous acceptance of Hongo's case in 2012.
