About me
Nothing to learn about me. I edit Wikipedia – sometimes – and I am from Japan, but I can edit with a near-native level of English. I also speak Korean and French.
If you have any issues with an edit I made, please bring it to my knowledge here. In the meantime, thank you and have a very nice day!

Interesting People
Kim Jong-il

Kim Jong-il, born Yuri Irsenovich Kim in Siberia, was a North Korean politician who was the second supreme leader of North Korea from 1994 to 2011. He led North Korea from the 1994 death of his father Kim Il-sung, the first Supreme Leader, until his own death in 2011, when he was succeeded by his son, Kim Jong-un.
An odd figure, he was said to own over 20,000 video tapes and films. Such was his passion for cinema, he wrote a book about it that is considered the most authoritative work on North Korean cinema, but significantly more impressively, he kidnapped a South Korean actress and her husband (also an actor) to make films for him, because he believed North Korean actors were too poor.
He was also a massive basketball fan. Additionally, there is an unproven, probably false rumour that Kim Jong-il killed his youngest brother by drowning him when they were both younger and swimming. Kim Jong-il had a fear of flying and so owned his own private train, on which he was often fed lobster with silver chopsticks. Ironically, it is believed that Kim Jong-il's death in 2011 occurred while he was in his train.
Kim Yong-nam

Kim Yong-nam is a North Korean retired politician who served as the President of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of North Korea, from 1998 until 2019. He held this office from September 5, 1998 to April 11, 2019. The President of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly is sometimes considered the Supreme Leader's number two.
The journalist and academic Don Oberdorfer described Kim as enigmatic, rigid in his official role, personally pleasant, highly intelligent, and an important figure behind the scenes in Pyongyang. Indeed, Kim managed to outlast several of his colleagues and remained on the Supreme Leader's good side for very many decades.
In addition to his post as President of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, he also served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1983 to 1998. He served under three different Supreme Leaders (Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, and Kim Jong-un). Kim attended the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics opening ceremony as well as the 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympics opening ceremonies in Sochi and Pyeongchang respectively. Kim retired in 2019, aged 91.
Kane Tanaka
Kane Tanaka was a Japanese supercentenarian who, until her death at the age of 119 years and 107 days, was the oldest living person in the world following the death of Chiyo Miyako (also from Japan) on 22 July 2018.
She is the oldest verified Japanese person and the second-oldest verified person ever, after Jeanne Calment. She died a mere 10 days after surpassing Sarah Knauss as the second oldest verified person in history. She survived colon cancer aged 103, and had already defeated pancreatic cancer earlier in her life. Her husband died in 1993 at the age of 90, after 71 years of marriage.
Kane Tanaka converted to Christianity after World War II, which – alongside playing Othello and practicing mathematics – she credited for her longevity. She was the oldest living person in the world for over 3 years, which is also the second longest period of time someone has held the title of oldest living person in the world. She was also set to carry the Olympic torch in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, but was not allowed due to Covid-19. After months of worsening health, she passed away in April 2022.
