Hiroshima prefecture reports that its oldest living person is 111-year-old Misao Kobayashi (小林貞) of Hiroshima City, born on 27 October 1913. The oldest living man in the prefecture wishes to remain anonymous.

The oldest living person in Niigata prefecture is 111-year-old Chiyono Eguchi (江口チヨノ) of Agano, born on 12 May 1914. The oldest living man in the prefecture has not been publicly identified. It seems we have missed Mrs Eguchi's 111th birthday report, which I have also added as an attachment.

The oldest living person in Chiba prefecture is a 112-year-old anonymous woman from Kimitsu, born on 30 October 1912. In addition, 112-year-old Hanako Ishii (石井花子) of Kamogawa, born on 7 May 1913, is also reported alive. As three 111-year-olds are reported, this means two of the five 110-year-olds from last year have entered limbo. Also, there are four 110-year-olds on this year's list. Hopefully, if like every previous year Chiba prefecture releases a list of demographics per city, we will have a better clue of who is still alive, and who has entered limbo. Finally, the oldest living man in the prefecture is 108-year-old Eito Kawase (強瀬衛人) of Tateyama, born on 1 April 1917.
