Chiyo Taira (JPN, 1916-2026)

Marco — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 13:04:45 +0000

Mrs Chiyo Taira (平良千代) of Haebaru, Okinawa, Japan, the oldest living person in the prefecture, died in hospital in Tomigusuku, Okinawa on 8 October 2026, aged 110. She was thus born between 16 September and 8 October 1916 (and I was wrong thinking she was born in November 1916).

May she rest in peace.

The fourth-oldest living person in Japan—Ms. Yukie Takahashi (高橋雪枝) of Akiruno City, Tōkyō Prefecture, has sadly entered "limbo" at aged 113.
According to the data, as of October 1, 2026, the oldest living person in the city is a 107-year-old woman. As you all know, the last confirmed date on which Ms. Takahashi was still alive was September 16, 2026.

It is believed that she was likely the oldest living person in Tōkyō from around March 2026. Tōkyō is notorious for never announcing changes regarding its oldest resident, so I had somewhat anticipated that this might eventually happen—but it is truly sad...

Fumi Takezaki (竹﨑富美) of Kochi, Japan, Validated at 110

10831

LongeviQuest has validated the age of Fumi Takezaki (竹﨑富美), 110, of Kami City (香美市), Kochi Prefecture, Japan, with the kind cooperation of her family. Born on 27 March 1916, she celebrated her 110th birthday in March this year. Her family also shared stories that helped us learn more about her life.

Life in Kochi

Fumi Takezaki (竹﨑富美) was born in what is now Nankoku, Kochi Prefecture. Her husband died when she was young, leaving her to raise their two daughters on her own.

At around 58, she moved in with one of her daughters. She helped at her daughter’s daycare until about 90, working closely alongside her.

According to her family, she enjoyed exceptionally good health and rode a bicycle until nearly 100. Before breaking a bone at 102, she reportedly had no need for hospital care or medication and did not catch colds. She later recovered from aspiration pneumonia and COVID-19.

At around 105, she was still enjoying outings with her family to see flowers and gardens.

Personality and Favorite Foods

Her family describes her as someone with a strong will who does not give up easily. Meat and ramen have long been among her favorite foods, but she is especially fond of eel. Her family says she still has a good appetite. On special occasions, they carefully remove the bones from the eel so she can enjoy it.

At 110, she enjoys playing shiritori, a Japanese word-chain game, with her family and is quick to come up with answers. Brain-training activities remain part of her daily routine.

Takezaki lives at home in Kami City (香美市), Kochi Prefecture, where she receives devoted care from her family.

Anonymous woman from Aichi Pr. (JPN) (1915-2026)

Mr. Tsubaki — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 07:03:17 +0000

On the LongeviQuest website, I found an entry for an anonymous woman from Aichi Prefecture. She was born on October 31, 1915, and passed away on April 11, 2026, at the age of 110.
https://longeviquest.com/supercentenarian/anonymous-of-aichi-1915/

She was listed in the "Not Validated" section, which is why I came across her quite by chance.
Although the place of death is not specified, I believe this woman resided in Iwakura City.
