Kama Chinen (1895–2010), a resident of Okinawa, was one of hundreds of Japanese women to have lived past 110 years, her age on this 2005 picture.

Japanese supercentenarians are citizens, residents or emigrants from Japan who have attained or surpassed 110 years of age. As of January 2015^[update], the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) had validated the longevity claims of 264 Japanese supercentenarians, most of them women.^[1] The oldest Japanese person currently alive is Kane Tanaka, born 2 January 1903, age 121 years, 258 days.^[2] She is also the world's oldest living person.^[2] The oldest Japanese person on record was Nabi Tajima, who died on 21 April 2018 aged 117 years, 260 days.^[3] Japan was also home to the world's oldest man ever, Jiroemon Kimura, who lived 116 years and 54 days.^[4]

People

Denzo Ishizaki

Denzo Ishizaki (石崎伝蔵, Ishizaki Denzō, 20 October 1886 – 29 April 1999) was for a short time Japan's oldest living person and the world's oldest living man, from February to April 1999, and when he died the oldest Japanese man ever until being surpassed by Yukichi Chuganji on 30 September 2001.^[30] A former elementary school teacher and town assembly member, Ishizaki lived in Kansago, Ibaraki Prefecture, where he died of multiple organ failure on 29 April 1999 at the age of 112 years, 191 days.^[31]

Mitoyo Kawate

Mitoyo Kawate (川手ミトヨ, Kawate Mitoyo, 15 May 1889 – 13 November 2003) became the world's oldest living woman after the death of Mae Harrington on 29 December 2002, and the world's oldest living person after the death of Japanese man Yukichi Chuganji on 28 September 2003. On 31 October 2003, after Kamato Hongo's death, Kawate was recognized as the oldest living person in the world,^[32]^[33] though in fact, Kawate became the oldest living person in the world on 28 September 2003, because Kamato Hongo's record was revoked in 2012.^[34]

A resident of Hiroshima, she worked on a farm until injuring her hands at the age of 99. In 1945, two days after the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima, she entered Hiroshima city in order to look for acquaintances.^[32]^[35] She was taken to a hospital shortly before her death aged 114 years, 182 days from pneumonia.^[32]^[33] Her death left Ramona Trinidad Iglesias-Jordan of Puerto Rico the oldest documented person in the world,^[34] though this was not recognized by Guinness World Records until 2004 (Charlotte Benkner of the U.S. had been given the title in the interim).^[33]

Masazō Nonaka

Masazō Nonaka (野中正造, Nonaka Masazō, born (1905-07-25)25 July 1905) is, at the age of 119 years, 53 days, currently the world's oldest living man since the death of 113-year-old Spaniard Francisco Núñez Olivera on 30 January 2018.^[a]. Nonaka became the oldest living man in Japan upon the death of 112-year-old Masamitsu Yoshida on 29 October 2016.^[36]

Nonaka married Hatsuno Nonaka and had 5 children (of whom 2 are living as of April 2018). He has been running the family onsen, which opened in 1905. He now spends most of his time in a wheelchair and credits his longevity with eating sweets and relaxing in the hot springs.^[37]^[7]
