The world's oldest man Masazo Nonaka has died at the ripe of age of 113.
He put his old age down to eating sweets and taking hot baths.
Mr Nonaka passed away peacefully in his sleep, having outlived his wife and three of their five children.
"We feel shocked at the loss of this big figure," his granddaughter Yuko told Kyodo News.
"He was as usual yesterday and passed away without causing our family any fuss at all."
