Potential problem

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)

That blog was written by a non-Japanese (Bill Balew?) who apparently is ignorant that the 'o'/'a' rules in European naming conventions do not apply to Japan. Toyonaga is female, otherwise why would they say that Tomoji Tanabe is the oldest man in Japan???Ryoung122 12:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

That's exactly my point. Extremely sexy 17:32, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
