Jiroemon Kimura, World's oldest man

 
He was born on April 19, 1897 and replaces the title carried by Walter Breuning.
After the death of the previous record holder, Guinness World Records announced that Jiroemon Kimura, the man from Kyoto, Japan, is now officially holds the title as oldest man in the world who are still alive. At this age has reached 114 years.  
Kimura was born on April 19, 1897. It replaces the title carried by Walter Breuning, who had died from natural causes on 14 April 2011 then.
"With the death of Walter, the world only had one man who had been living since the 19th century," said Craig Glenday, Editor In Chief Guinness World Records, as quoted by Little Mysteries of Life, April 25, 2011.
Glenday says, is remarkable when considering the lifetime of Kimura spread over 3 centuries. "When he was born, Dracula has not been published. Queen Victoria still has not won the crown, and is still 6 years before Orville and Wilbur Wright successfully flew the first aircraft in the world. "The world changed a lot during his lifetime," said Glenday.
Although the last known male born before 1900, Kimura was the sixth of the world's oldest human. Five oldest surviving humans are entirely female. In Japan alone it is the third oldest man after Chiyono Hasegawa (born 20 November 1896) and Shige Hirooka (born January 16, 1897).
According to Guinness World Records record, the oldest man in the world today is Berry Besse Cooper (born August 26, 1896 in Tennessee, USA).
Then, what is the secret of longevity of the oldest man in the world today? Kimura says that he continues to enjoy the latest developments occurring throughout the world by reading the newspaper using a magnifying glass every morning. In addition, the key to living long and healthy life is to eat in small portions. • VIVAnews
