'200-year-old' man listed as alive in family register

A "200-year-old" man is listed as alive in his family register at the municipal government, city officials said.

The man, who was born in 1810, would be as old as classic music composer Frederic Francois Chopin. City officials said his birthday and address are unknown.

The Iki Municipal Government computerized family registers it manages in 2006, but did not touch those for such elderly people.

In Iki, there are 72 people aged over 120, who are listed as alive by their family registers but are not registered as residents.

"We'll conduct an investigation and delete their family registers if they are confirmed dead," a city official said.
