Japan's oldest person dies at 116

Japan's oldest person passed away at the age of 116 at a care facility in Osaka on Tuesday, officials said, offering their condolences for Ms. Fusa Tatsumi who lived through two world wars and multiple pandemics.

She was born in 1907 and raised three children with her husband in Osaka. Tatsumi was recognised as Japan's oldest person after Kane Tanaka passed away last year at 119. Japan has the world's second-oldest population after Monaco, boasting more than 47,000 centenarians.
