Just before her untimely passing, Tomiko Itooka, birthed on May 23, 1908, held the crown for Japan's oldest person. At 116 years old, Itooka resided in Ashiya, Japan. Unfortunately, she passed away on December 29, 2024. Since there exists no present-day living exemplar for Japan's oldest person, the title is vacant at this juncture.
