Fukuoka Prefecture has just released information regarding a long-lived resident of the prefecture.
According to the data, the oldest living person in Fukuoka Prefecture is 111-year-old Ms. Tome Mizogami, (b. 1914.10.25) of Kitakyūshū City.
This means that Ms. Haruko Onizuka (鬼塚春子), of Mizumaki Town who had been publicly recognized as the prefecture's oldest resident since September 2024, has sadly entered a state of "Limbo." The last confirmed date on which Ms. Onizuka was alive was March 31, 2026, aged 113. (Based on population statistics for Mizumaki Town tallied on the same day)
Ms. Onizuka was born on March 18, 1913, in Minamitakaki District, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Fukuoka Prefecture does not typically announce changes regarding the oldest resident or their passing, so I do not know any further details.
