:I would prefer this title to be re-added. I agree `oldest person' is much more notable, but the dates at which both titles were gained are different. It's still interesting to see (in the box) when he became oldest living Asian. 
 :Furthermore, it is inconsistent to leave the title `Oldest living man'. I don't see how since the oldest living person is usually NOT the oldest living man explains this. One could argue that the oldest living person is usually NOT the oldest living Asian/Japanese. Since 1955, the oldest person has been a man 5 times, and an Asian/Japanese person 7 times (see Oldest people#Chronological list of the verified oldest living person since 1955). That is not different enough to warrant different treatment here, in my opinion. Therefore I'm very much in favor of keeping all four titles; each is important in itself.
