Edit: Thanks to Reshmi Sarkar for pointing out that I have written about the oldest person, Jeanne Louise Calment, who is in fact female. As per Guinness Book of world records - Yasutaro Koide (Japan) has been officially recognized as the Oldest person living (male) at the age of 112 years and 161 days on 20th August, 2015.
