Jiroemon Kimura (Japanese: 木村 次郎右衛門, Hepburn: Kimura Jirōemon; 19 April 1897 – 12 June 2013) was a Japanese supercentenarian who was the verified oldest living person between Dina Manfredini's death on 17 December 2012 and his own death at age 116 years and 54 days on 12 June 2013.[1][2][3][4] Kimura became the verified oldest living man on 15 April 2011, shortly before his 114th birthday, upon Walter Breuning's death,[a][5][6] and later also the verified oldest man in history on 28 December 2012, when he surpassed the age of Christian Mortensen (1882–1998),[7] as well as the only verified man who has lived to age 116.
Kimura was, after 113-year-old James Sisnett's death on 23 May 2013, the last surviving man born in the 19th century.[8]
