These are lists of Japanese supercentenarians (people from Japan who have attained the age of at least 110 years), according to the Gerontology Research Group. There have been 282 verified supercentenarians from Japan.[1] As of 12 July 2024, there are 23 verified living supercentenarians, 17 pending, and 1 unverified in Japan, the oldest of whom is Misao Okawa, aged 126 years, 129 days. Okawa also currently holds the title of the World's oldest living person. The oldest person ever from Japan was Tane Ikai, who died in 1995, aged 116 years, 175 days.

Living Japanese supercentenarians

Below is a list of the oldest living people from Japan. Those listed as verified have been validated by an international body that specifically deals in longevity research, such as the Gerontology Research Group. Those listed as pending have provided at least one document supporting the reported age but not the three necessary for validation. Those that are unverified have provided no documents to support the age claimed.
