Kawamoto was the oldest recognized person in the world for more than a year, until she died at age 113 years and 103 days. However, she was not mentioned in the 1976 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records though her case was accepted by the Japanese authorities. Every book since mentions her and her successor, Shigechiyo Izumi, also from Japan, who is still recognized by Guinness as the oldest man ever, although many people doubt this claim."@en . .
