No evidence of meeting WP:N's requirement of nontrivial coverage in multiple, reliable, third-party sources. The only coverage I could find in either English or Japanese was several iterations of his obituary (which mention little more than his death and that he was Japan's oldest man) and a handful of other trivial references. Long-standing precedent is that simply being the oldest person in a country is not sufficient to meet the general notability guidelines and sustain an article, thus the extent of coverage (or lack thereof) is the issue here.

- Delete. This is a WP:BIO1E case, and the person has not received a sufficient level of in-depth coverage to justify a self-standing biographical article like this. --DAJF (talk) 06:31, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
