Yasutaro Koide, a former tailor recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest living man on earth, died at the age of 112 of chronic heart failure at a hospital in Nagoya, central Japan, in the early hours of Tuesday, his relatives said.
Koide was recognized as the oldest man following the death last July of then-record holder Sakari Momoi of Saitama Prefecture near Tokyo, who was also 112 years old, the Japanese news agency Kyodo reported.
Born in Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture, on the Sea of Japan coast in March 1903, a young Koide trained as a menswear tailor in Osaka before returning to his hometown to earn his living making formal wear such as tuxedos and tailcoats.
