No evidence of meeting WP:N's requirement of nontrivial coverage in multiple, reliable, third-party sources. The only coverage I could find in either English or Japanese was several iterations of his obituary (which mention little more than his death and that he was Japan's oldest man) and a handful of other trivial references. Long-standing precedent is that simply being the oldest person in a country is not sufficient to meet the general notability guidelines and sustain an article, thus the extent of coverage (or lack thereof) is the issue here.
