Career in academia

Tanabe's career in municipal governance and post-WWII relationship to the University of Michigan's Center for Japanese Studies in Okayama (and, I believe, to SCAP) is far more important than his status as a supercentenarian. The "timeline" of his supercentenarian experience isn't particularly noteworthy and barely makes sense. Editing article accordingly as I find more sources.

I disagree that his SC (supercentenarian) experience doesn't make much sense. When it comes to SCs, any record and moving up the ranks makes sense. I also agree with you that Tanabe's career in academia is extremely important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Futurist110 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
