<p>A 111-year-old retired educator from Japan who enjoys poetry has been recognised as the world’s oldest living man.<br />
Sakari Momoi received a certificate from Guinness World Records today. He succeeds Alexander Imich, of New York, who died in April at the age of 111 years, 164 days.</p>
<p>The world’s oldest living person is also Japanese: Misao Okawa, a 116-year-old woman from Osaka.<br />
Mr Momoi was born on February 5, 1903, in Fukushima prefecture, where he became a teacher.</p>
<p>He later moved to the city of Saitama, north of Tokyo, and served as a high school principal there until retirement.<br />
Mr Momoi says he enjoys reading books, especially Chinese poetry.<br />
He has five children and now lives at a nursing home in Tokyo.</p>
