Japanese man aged 112 years old crowned world's oldest living male

Chitetsu Watanabe from Niigata was today officially confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records as the longest living male at 112 years and 344 days old.
He returned to Niigata with his wife Mitsue and four young children during a difficult period in Japanese history.
"Both Chitetsu and Tetsuo told me that getting to places and sourcing food was a struggle," Yoko Watanaba, the wife of Chitetsu's son Testsuo said.
"Having to live under that circumstance with four young children must have been tough."
Kane Tanaka, who is currently the oldest living woman, celebrated her 117th birthday in January.
