Yumi says she contacted the town Mrs. Uema supposedly lives in (Nakijin, according to an online source).She was still reported as oldest person in Okinawa after Makishi’s death according to the wiki, although I cannot find the source that information came from 

Update: Charlotte Krestchmann was validated.

We have 13 supercentenarians born before the 1910s. 

I am pleasantly surprised that we once again have 13 SCs over 114 years old and that the 7 supercentenarians of the second half of 1909 have reached 114 years old.

Let's hope that good times are ahead for the supercentenarians, although we will have to see how they do in January 2024.

When was the last time we had 13 supercentenarians aged 114 or older?

@adancho probably in January 2022 before there were a lot of 114+ deaths

@mrcatlord I was researching and the last time we had 13 supercentenarians out of 114+ was on July 30, 2022 with the death of Sofía Rojas.

If everything remains the same until January 4 we will have 14 supercentenarians, being Seki Yoshida's 114th birthday.

 

If Kame Uema is verified, she would now have 14 supercentenarians out of 114+, but I don't think there is any more information on her.

Will Kame Uema be validated, at some point?

Sadly, the passing of Katsugo Tago means we drop
Back to 28, 113 year olds, hopefully now 29 from 5 December with the birthday of Klavdiya Gadyuchkina.

The highest I can remember in the past is 27-28.

New year update.

Well, after 5 months we had a major death in the TOP 10.

We have 11 supercentenarians born in the decade 1900-1909

The last three deaths have all been Japanese ladies; no non-Japanese person born in the 1900s or in the top ten has died since Hazel Plummer back in May, and Mrs. Matsubara is the first person born in 1909 to die since in over six months (Ushi Makishi in July)

10. Charlotte Krestchmann (December 3, 1909) 114 years old

The decade was reduced to its last 10 supercentenarians, the last top 10 of the 1900-1909 era.

Until there are new validations from 1909, this is how the current TOP 10 remains.

Update as of February 23, 2024 (RIP Edie Ceccarelli)

8. Masa Matsumoto (November 29, 1909) 114 years old

9. Charlotte Krestchmann (December 3, 1909) 114 years old

With the death of Edie Ceccarelli, the decade from 1900-1909 is reduced to its 9 survivors.

1910 has entered the TOP 10.

Update as of April 2, 2024 (RIP Juan Vicente Perez Mora)

1. María Branyas Morera (March 4, 1907) 117 years

2. Tomiko Itooka (May 23, 1908) 115 years old

7. Masa Matsumoto (November 29, 1909) 114 years old

8. Charlotte Krestchmann (December 3, 1909) 114 years old

With the death of Juan Vicente Perez Mora, the decade from 1900-1909 is reduced to its 8 survivors.

This looks bad... I think it is absurd to think that the list will remain like this until January 2025...
