Jiroemon Kimura became the world's oldest man, living 116 years and 54 days before his death in 2013. He attributed his longevity to eating light meals. Kimura, a Japanese man, had eight children and a wife, and unusually had two official birthdates. He completed primary education in three different years: 1907, 1909, and 1911.
