This year, Monday 15 September 2025 will be the "Respect for the Aged Day" (or 敬老の日, keirō no hi) in Japan. Slowly, reports have begun to trickle in (both publicly and privately), meaning this thread has been started. Keirō no hi is an annual celebration held on the third Monday of September, when the elderly citizens of each designated town are celebrated. This means that during the course of September, all prefectures (but also many cities, towns, and villages) publish reports about their oldest citizens - the content of these reports has subsequently been depicted below, if it was reported publicly.
I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Japanese (and other) members reporting these updates. Do note that if updates are only made privately, I cannot post about them.

Its oldest living man is 107-year-old Masaichi Ichikawa (市川政一), born on 7 February 1918.
