So his wiki page noted that if he was still alive he’d be in the top 35 oldest men so they finally marked him as dead. I didn’t check the Japan supercentenarian statistics but I get the feeling he didn’t show up there either 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If a Toho star from a popular franchise was still alive at 100, never mind 110, we’d know all about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
