- A 112-year-old Japanese has been recognised by the Guinness World Records on Tuesday, April 10, as the world's oldest living man
- The oldest man, Masazo Nonaka, who was born on July 25, 1905, has seven brothers and one sister
- Nonaka was certified as the world’s oldest man after Francisco Nunez Olivera in Spain died in January at the age of 113
Guinness World Records on Tuesday, April 10 recognised Masazo Nonaka, a 112-year-old Japanese national, as the world’s oldest living man.
Nonaka, who lives in a family-run hot spring inn on the northern island of Hokkaido, received a certificate from Erika Ogawa, vice president for Japan at the record-keeping organization, NAN reports.
NOur blog notes that according to Guinness, the former inn owner in the town of Ashoro now likes to spend time with his family and also reads newspapers, watches TV and indulges in sweets.
Nonaka was born on July 25, 1905, just months before Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity. In 1931, Nonaka married Hatsuno and went on to have five children with her.
Nonaka has seven brothers and one sister, who live nearby in the town.
He was certified as the world’s oldest man after Francisco Nunez Olivera in Spain died in January at the age of 113.

Guinness World Records’ editor-in-chief, Craig Clenday, said: “Mr Nonaka’s achievement is remarkable – he can teach us all an important lesson about the value of life and how to stretch the limits of human longevity."
The world’s oldest living person is Nabi Tajima, a 117-year-old resident of the southern Japanese prefecture of Kagoshima, according to the U.S.-based Gerontology Research Group. She was born on August 4, 1900.
We previously reported that the Indian, whom Guinness World Records recognised as the oldest man in the world lamented that his grandchildren had been dead for years and asked to know why death had eluded him despite his disturbing figure and looks.
Born in Bangalore on January 6, 1835, Murasi lived in Varanasi, where he worked until 1957 and retired at the age of 122 years.
He said: "My grandchildren have died there a few years. In a way, death has forgotten me. And now I have lost all hope to die."
