Japan breaks record, registers nearly 100,000 people over 100 years old

For the 55th consecutive year, Japan has set a new record by registering nearly 100,000 people over the age of 100.

The number of centenarians in Japan was 99,763 as of September, the Health Ministry announced on Friday.

Of this total, women made up an overwhelming 88%.

Japan is known for having the longest life expectancy in the world and is often considered the country where the oldest person in the world lives, although some studies dispute the real number of centenarians globally.

The oldest person in Japan is Shigeko Kagawa, 114, from Yamatokoriyama, a suburb of Nara city. Meanwhile, the oldest man is Kiyotaka Mizuno, 111, from the coastal city of Iwata.

Health Minister Takamaro Fukoka congratulated 87,784 women and 11,979 men on their longevity and expressed "his gratitude for their many years of contributions to the development of society."

The figures were released ahead of Senior Citizens' Day on September 15, a national holiday where young centenarians receive a congratulatory letter and a silver cup from the prime minister.
