Yukichi Chuganji (中願寺雄吉, Chūganji Yūkichi, March 23, 1889 – September 28, 2003)^[1] was a Japanese supercentenarian, the world's oldest man (and later the world's oldest person) until his death at age 114 years, 189 days.^[1] Chuganji was one of the few men to hold the world's oldest person title, along with Emiliano Mercado del Toro in 2006-2007 and Jiroemon Kimura in 2012-2013.,^[2] but Chuganji was not recognized as the world's oldest person during his lifetime; back then, the case of Kamato Hongo was still accepted and considered valid by the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) and Guinness World Records, who both withdrew their previous acceptance of Hongo's case in 2012.^[2]

He lived in the city of Ogori, Fukuoka, with his 74-year-old daughter Kyoko.^[1]

Chuganji was the third verified man in history to reach the age of 114, after Mathew Beard and Christian Mortensen. He died as the verified oldest Asian man ever, breaking the record of 112 years, 191 days by nearly 2 years set by Denzo Ishizaki, and continued to hold the record for a little more than eight years, until being surpassed by Jiroemon Kimura on 26 October 2011. After his death, Spanish man Joan Riudavets became the oldest living person.
