Kiyotaka Mizuno, Japan’s Oldest Man, Dies at 111

8615

Kiyotaka Mizuno, the oldest living man in Japan, passed away in Iwata, Shizuoka Prefecture, on 8 February, at the age of 111 years, 331 days.

Kiyotaka Mizuno was born in Iwata, Shizuoka Prefecture, on 14 March 1914, as the eldest son of a farming family. He had one younger sister. In his youth, Mizuno served as a guard for the Emperor and was stationed at the Imperial Palace during the February 26 Incident in 1936, an attempted military coup in Tokyo led by young army officers seeking political reform. Later, during World War II, he was deployed to the continent, where he narrowly escaped death before returning to Iwata.

After the war, Mizuno became a farmer, producing crops such as taro and white onions, and continued his agricultural work until the age of 80.

On 21 August 2024, following the passing of an anonymous 110-year-old man from Tokyo, Mizuno became the oldest living man in Japan.

Kiyotaka Mizuno, 111, the oldest man in Japan, says the secret to a long life is "not worrying"; Mayor of Iwata celebrates him as the oldest man in Shizuoka Prefecture

At 111 years old, a man from Iwata City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is the oldest man in Japan, both male and female. He received a letter of appreciation and a bouquet of flowers from the city.

The secret to his longevity is "not worrying."

Iwata City Mayor Hiroaki Kusachi said:
As the oldest man in Japan and the oldest man in the prefecture, he is a role model for the citizens and a source of hope for everyone.

The oldest person in the prefecture is 111-year-old Kiyotaka Mizuno, a resident of Iwata City.

Mizuno was born in 1914, making him the oldest living man in Japan.

Approximately 90 years ago, during the February 26 Incident in 1936, Mizuno served as a guard guard at the Imperial Palace.

He also experienced the Pacific War and has been working in agriculture for approximately 50 years since the end of the war.

He still wakes up at 6:30 every morning and eats all three meals without leaving any leftovers, regardless of food preferences.

Kiyotaka Mizuno, Japan's oldest man:
I'm grateful to be alive.

His eldest son, Shigehiro (78):
What's the secret to your longevity?

Kiyotaka Mizuno, Japan's oldest man:
I just live naturally. I try not to overthink things so I don't get too worked up.

Although Mizuno has been blind due to cataracts for about three years, he has no serious illnesses and enjoys listening to live sumo broadcasts.
