7. Tomisaburo Wakui (b. 28 November 1913), 110,  Japan

With the sad death of Tomisaburo Wakui, would Kiyotaka Mizuno born on March 14, 1914 be the new top 10?
Does Vietnamese-Dutch John Huang not have documentation to appear on this list?

I still remember when 1 year and 6 months ago the Top of men looked like this, and now John Tinniswood is the only survivor of them.

Since John Tinniswood joined the list, when Santos Hildebrando Rivas died on 17 Apr 2023, the United Kingdom had at least one representative here, now it doesn't.
Japan appears again in the ranking, it had left in the update of 26 Aug 2024, when the anonymous Japanese dean died

Abilio Borges Moreria reported still alive according to this news article: https://ponoticias.com.br/pinheirense-comemora-113-anos-apenas-um-dia-mais-velho-que-joao-pinheiro/

The GRG's validation of Zhou Renqing doesn't count here, right?

@futurist no, it doesn't I think. LQ hasn't investigated his age yet I think, despite that though, his age is plausible in my opinion.

@futurist no, it doesn't I think. LQ hasn't investigated his age yet I think, despite that though, his age is plausible in my opinion.

On GerWiki, it extensively mentions his education:

Zhou Renqing was born in Changsha, Hunan Province, China on 7 November 1913. From 1920 to 1924, he studied poetry and scriptures in a private school in Xiangtan, Hunan for four years. In 1924, he went to school in the third grade of Sanyu Primary School in Xiangtan, Hunan, that is, he started primary school from the third grade; in 1926, he went to school in Changsha Youth Association, and then took English tutoring at the home of a teacher in the association; in 1928, he took English and mathematics tutoring at the home of a teacher in Changsha Guangyi Middle School, and took tutoring in the high school tutorial class of Changsha Guangya Middle School; in 1929, he studied in the high school department of Changsha Provincial No. 1 Middle School until graduation; in 1932, he was admitted to the Law and Economics Department of National Wuhan University and graduated in 1936.

Which suggests that there might be some or even a lot of documentation for him from within the 20-year-window.

Does Vietnamese-Dutch John Huang not have documentation to appear on this list?

From GerWiki:

In 1931, at the age of 17, together with his family, he left Vietnam and moved to the Netherlands (first to Suriname), where they set up an antique shop a few years later.

1931 is still within the 20-year-window, if such a travel document for him can actually be found.

Does anyone here know what the highest age that the 10th oldest validated living man ever reached? I mean throughout all of history? The current age for him (almost 111) is very high by historical standards, but I'm wondering as to what and when exactly the record for this was.

@futurist I believe from 15 October 2023 to 2 November 2023, Herbert Wolding was 111 years old at place 10. 

September - November 2022 came very close several times, just short a few days here or there. 

I believe from 6 Dec 1910 - 15 Dec 2021, Andre Boite was the 10th oldest living man at age 111. And then on 19 Dec 1910, Ezra Hill turned 111 and was the 10th oldest living man until Lawrence Brooks death on 5 January 2022. And then from 11 January 2022, Shigeru Nakamura turned 111 and was the 10th oldest living man until Saturnio de la Fuente Garcia's death on 18 January 2022. Then on 6 Mar 2022, Shiro Moriyama turned 111 at spot 10 until his death on 19 Mar 2022.

Excellent! So, having an all-111+ top 10 for the oldest living men appears to be doable, but nevertheless very difficult!

BTW, Marcel Meys could have lived longer had he not gotten COVID-19, or had he gotten vaccinated for COVID-19. That could have extended the December 2021 reign.

The 9th and 10th oldest living men back then were jointly Bob Weighton and Alf Smith, no? At age 111 years and 2-3 months.

BTW, you got Alf Smith's death date wrong.

@futurist Yes and thank you, I copied the death date for Bob Weighton by mistake.

Gotcha! BTW, it looks like having an all-111+ top 10 oldest living men is roughly comparable in difficulty to having an all-114+ top 10 oldest living women.

 I wonder what and when was the record for living men 111+? Maybe 2002? At the beginning of this century men were doing very well, but maybe it's a different date?
