This year, Monday 21 September 2026 will be the "Respect for the Aged Day" (or 敬老の日, keirō no hi) in Japan. Reports are already trickling in (both publicly and privately), commencing the start of this thread. 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 living citizens - the contents of these reports have subsequently been depicted below, provided they were reported publicly.
I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Japanese (and other) GSF members reporting these updates. Do note that if updates are only made privately (to or within LQ), I unfortunately cannot post about them.
Legend:
A bold entry indicates a supercentenarian.
A blue entry indicates a man.
A green entry indicates an incomplete date of birth.
A red entry indicates this person has died since being on the list; this post lists deceased and/or limbo supercentenarians.
A purple entry indicates this person is currently in limbo; his or her survival status is unknown.
Note 1: All ages given for (super)centenarians are as of their LAST PUBLICLY REPORTED SURVIVAL STATUS.
Note 2: Ages under 109 for women and 108 for men are not given, unless the oldest (wo)man in the prefecture is not that old, or unless the prefecture releases a ‘top 10’ or ‘top 20’ for the prefecture.
Note 3: Sources for the information have been reported on the 110 Club, or elsewhere in this thread.
A map of Japan, indicating where each prefecture is, can be found in the attachment.
Overduidelijk misschien.
