File:Chiyono Hasegawa September 2010.jpg
Chiyono Hasegawa (1896–2011), a resident of Saga, was one of hundreds of Japanese women to have lived past 110 years. She is pictured here in September 2010. She was the oldest person in Japan. She died at 115 years, 12 days.

Japanese supercentenarians are citizens, residents or emigrants from Japan who have attained or surpassed 110 years of age. As of January 2015, the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) had validated the longevity claims of 318 Japanese supercentenarians, most of them women.[1] According to the Gerontology Research Group, the oldest verified Japanese and Asian person ever is Kane Tanaka, born 2 January 1903, aged 121 years, 310 days. Japan was also home to the world's oldest man ever, Jiroemon Kimura (1897–2013), who lived to age 116 years, 54 days.[2]

Biographies

Yukichi Chuganji

Yukichi Chuganji (中願寺 雄吉; Chūganji Yūkichi, 23 March 1889 – 28 September 2003) was a Japanese silkworm breeder, instructor in the agricultural specialty, bank employee and community welfare officer, and at the time of his death at age 114 years, 27 weeks the 4th oldest Japanese person ever and oldest Japanese man ever (although the claimed 120-year-old Shigechiyo Izumi was still believed to have been older), surpassing Denzo Ishizaki by almost 2 years, before being surpassed by Jiroemon Kimura on 26 October 2011, and the world's oldest living person (since American woman Mae Harrington's death on 29 December 2002), being the first verified man to be the oldest living person after the pending 112-year-old James King's death on 5 June 1967. However, Chuganji was only verified as the oldest living man (since Italian World War I-veteran Antonio Todde's death on 3 January 2002), as the oldest living person was believed to be Kamato Hongo of Kagoshima, who claimed to be almost one and a half-year older but is nowadays debunked as evidence suggests she was most likely at least four years younger than she claimed.

Chuganji did not like to eat vegetables but liked beef, pork and chicken, and daily ate toffee and drank a glass of milk and the occasional apple juice and only drank alcohol in moderation, which he believed as the secrets to a long life. During the last years of his life, he had failing eye sight and was bedridden.

Chuganji, who was the 6th Japanese man to become a supercentenarian, became the oldest living Japanese man after Sadayoshi Tanabe's death on 18 January 2000 and on 3 January 2002 (the same day as he became the world's oldest living man), after Matsuno Oikawa's death, also the oldest living Japanese person (although Kamato Hongo was believed to be older), and finally also the oldest living person in the world on 29 December 2002. Just 12 weeks later, on 23 March 2003, his 114th birthday, Chuganji became the first Japanese man, and only the second man in the world after 115-year-old Danish-American Christian Mortensen who died almost 5 years earlier, to become at least 114 years old, and on 6 June 2003 (upon 111-year-old Norio Kawada's death) the only living Japanese male supercentenarian. He died of natural causes at age 114 years, 27 weeks, the evening of Sunday 28 September 2003, after being served a glass of apple juice by his 74-year-old daughter who was his only living child (as he outlived all his 4 sons),[20] and was succeeded as the world's oldest living person by Hiroshima woman Mitoyo Kawate, as the world's oldest living person by Spaniard Joan Riudavets and as Japan's oldest living man by Kameni Nakamura, who celebrated his 109th birthday just 5 days later and died on 20 May 2004 at age 109 years, 230 days; the first Japanese man who became a supercentenarian after Chuganji's death was Kohachi Shigetaka (10 May 1895 – 3 July 2005). Besides 5 children, Chuganji also had 7 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

Denzo Ishizaki

Denzō Ishizaki (石崎 伝蔵, Ishizaki Denzō, 20 October 1886 (or 1884?) – 29 April 1999) was an elementary school teacher and town assembly member in his hometown Kansago, Ibaraki Prefecture. At the time of his death, Ishizaki was the oldest living Japanese man for over two years after 112-year-old Gengan Tonaki's death on 24 January 1997, and later also the world's oldest living man for almost 18 weeks after 113-year-old American Walter Richardson's death on 25 December 1998 and, for almost 11 weeks after Yasu Akino's death on 12 February 1999, Japan's oldest living person as well as the 9th oldest living person in the world.[21] He died of multiple organ failure on 29 April 1999 at age 112 years, 191 days,[22] and was the third Japanese man to become a supercentenarian, after Eiju Tsuru and Gengan Tonaki, and (although the claimed 120-year-old Shigechiyo Izumi still was believed to be older) the oldest Japanese man ever, beating Gengan Tonaki's record by just 15 weeks, before October 2001 when his record was broken by Yukichi Chuganji. However, Ishizaki claimed to be two years older and thereby ten days older than Gengan Tonaki, as his birth register which shows a birth year of 1886 rather than 1884 was "delayed by two years".[23]

Ishizaki was succeeded as the oldest living man by Spaniard Antonio Urrea-Hernandez (born 18 February 1888), as Japan's oldest living person by Kayo Fujii (born 12 March 1888) and as Japan's oldest living man by Sadayoshi Tanabe (who was exactly 2 years younger), making Ishizaki the last known living man as well as Japanese person born before 1888.

Nabi Tajima

Nabi Tajima (田島 ナビ, Tajima Nabi, 4 August 1900 – 21 April 2018)[24][25][26] succeeded Violet Brown as the world's oldest person for 217 days after Brown's death on 16 September 2017. She was the last person verified as being born in the 19th century.[27] She died at age 117 years and 260 days and is the fourth oldest person ever.

Tajima was born and died on the small island of Kikaijima, about halfway between Okinawa and the main Japanese islands. Her husband, Tominishi Tajima (田島 富二子), died at the age of 93 in 1991.[28][29] She had nine children, seven sons and two daughters,[28] and in September 2017 she was reported to have had around 160 descendants, including great-great-great-grandchildren.[30] She stated that her longevity was due to sleeping soundly and eating delicious food.[27] Guinness World Records was planning to certify Tajima as the world's oldest person, but she died at a nursing home in Kikai before they could do so.[31][32] She was the last member of the Lost Generation.
