This article refers to Toyonaga as male, potentially causing confusion and edit wars for anyone not aware that Toyonaga is female (I trust the GRG over the newspaper, hopefully I am correct?). Anyhow, if it comes up, this is the source. Oh, and if they change it, the title right now says "Japan's Oldest Man, Tsuneyo Toyonaga, Takes Over as Top Dog." Cheers, CP 17:44, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

"She" is a female, of course, because otherwise "he" would have been the world's oldest man at 113 (remember Kamato Hongo?). Extremely sexy 23:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
