Shigechiyo Izumi’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Shigechiyo Izumi was born in the Year of the Ox. Another of the powerful Chinese Zodiac signs, the Ox is steadfast, solid, a goal-oriented leader, detail-oriented, hard-working, stubborn, serious and introverted but can feel lonely and insecure. Takes comfort in friends and family and is a reliable, protective and strong companion. Compatible with Snake or Rooster.
Remembered for his Guinness Book of World Records designation as the world's oldest person alive, this Supercentenarian had his title posthumously revoked after his stated birth year came into question. At the time of his death, he was either 120 or 105 years old, depending upon his actual birth year.
He was born on the island of Tokunoshima, in what was then the Ryukyu Kingdom.
He frequently drank an alcoholic beverage called shochu and, in his seventies, began smoking.
The birth certificate that he used as proof of his claim to be the oldest man alive was believed by some to have belonged to his older, long-ago deceased brother.
Before his birth year was called into question, he, like Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment, was one of a handful of Guinness-verified longest-living people.
