Yukichi Chuganji - world's oldest documented man
 

Yukichi Chuganji (March 23, 1889 - September 28, 2003) was the world's oldest documented man from the death of Antonio Todde in January 2002 until his own death the evening of September 28, 2003.

A retired silkworm breeder, he lived in the city of Ogori, Fukuoka prefecture, near the center of the island of Kyushu, Japan. With his death, Joan Riudavets became the world's oldest authenticated man.
