Elsewhere in Japan, the dean of humanity is no more...since yesterday. He died following complications from pneumonia at the age of 116 years. M. Kimura was the oldest person on the planet amoung all men and women.

The Japanese Jiroemon Kimura, here with one of his gread-great-grandchildren, dean of humanity at 116 years of age, died Wednesday near Kyoto following complications from pneumonia.
TOKYO (Reuters) - Jiroemon Kimura, a Japanese dean of humanity at 116 years of age, died Wednesday near Kyoto following complications from pneumonia, the Japanese media report.
Kimura, who had seven children, 14 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and 15 great-great-grandchildren, was the oldest man on the planet since December 17th 2012.
Born in 1897, the year when Queen Victoria celebrated her jubilee in Great-Britain, he worked for the mail before becoming a farmer.
On the occasion of his 115th birthday, he attributed his longevity to his love for sun and light. "I always look towards the sky, that is how I am", he said.
