Mr. Kazuyoshi Mikami (三上一禧) of Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture, sadly passed away on July 2, 2026, at the age of 109 years, 52 days.
He was born May 11, 1917 in Aomori Prefecture. He was the oldest man in the prefecture from at least September 2023 and ''the last surviving Japanese Zero pilot.'' Additionally, the prefecture reported that, as of September 2025, the individual was the sixth-oldest iving person in the prefecture. I do not currently know who the oldest man in the prefecture is.
Rest in peace Mr. Mikami.

Let me add one point. Although the interview footage was broadcast in 2013, it was filmed in 2009.

When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."
