Japan's oldest woman is Tomiko Itooka, a 116-year-old in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture, while the oldest man is 110-year-old Kiyotaka Mizuno of Iwata, Shizuoka Prefecture.

The number of people turning 100 during fiscal 2024, which runs through next March, stands at 47,888. They will be gifted a congratulatory letter and a silver cup.
