Happy Birthday, Tomoji Tanabe!
Tomoji Tanabe has seen many birthdays. Today he turns 113! Tanabe is the world’s oldest living man, and the eleventh oldest living person in the world. He celebrated at his home in southern Japan with a visit from the mayor.
“I’m happy,” said Tomoji Tanabe as the local mayor presented him with flowers and a giant tea cup glazed with his name and date of birth. “I’m well. I eat a lot,” he added.
Tanabe, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest living male last year, eats mostly vegetables and believes the key to longevity is not drinking alcohol.
The former civil servant lives with his son, drinks milk every day and has no major illnesses, although he now writes in his diary only once or twice a month. He used to write on a daily basis.
