Oldest living people

This is a list of the oldest living people in the world. Supercentenarians that are categorised as "validated" have had their ages authenticated by an organisation that specialises in age validation, such as the European Supercentenarian Organisation (ESO), Latin American Supercentenarians (LAS), LongeviQuest (LQ) Gerontology Research Group (GRG), International Database on Longevity (IDL), or Guinness World Records (GWR).

Supercentenarians are categorised as "pending validation" if an organisation that specialises in age validation has some documentation to support their age, but their age has not yet been fully validated. Unverified supercentenarians listed below have not had their ages authenticated but there is sufficient reporting in reliable sources that provide a claimed date of birth. However, only claimants aged 110–114 that could potentially be validated in the future are included here.

As of 1 April 2022, the ESO has validated 44 living supercentenarians; the LAS has validated 17 living supercentenarians (and 18 are currently pending); and the GRG has validated 15 living supercentenarians. In total, 70 living supercentenarians have had their age validated by an organisation that specialises in age validation (some being validated by multiple organisations).

Following the death of Lucile Randon of Japan on 17 January 2023, María Branyas Morera of Spain became the oldest living person whose age can be documented. She was born on 4 March 1907.

Yasuno Kawamoto

Kawamoto at the age of 112.

**Yasuno Kawamoto** (Japanese: **川本ヤスノ**; 15 April 1903 – 29 September 2015) was a Japanese supercentenarian. Her age was validated by the Gerontology Research Group (GRG).

## Biography

Kawamoto was born in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, on 15 April 1903. She had at least four sons (she was survived by her fourth son, Tsuneo).

On 10 September 2012, following the death of 109-year-old Kotono Kobayashi of Yamaguchi City, Kawamoto became the oldest living person in Yamaguchi Prefecture. At the age of 110, she had hearing problems, but was still able to eat without aid. She loved and practiced calligraphy. When asked about the source of her strength, she responded: "*Don't get angry with anything, everyone should spend time in harmony and peace. I like writing, so I want to study writing hard.*" In January 2015, she moved to the Chojuen Care Home (Japanese: 長寿園) in Onoda, Sanyo-Onoda.

Kawamoto died in Sanyo-Onoda, Yamaguchi, Japan, on 29 September 2015, at the age of 112 years, 167 days.

## Age validation

Her age was verified by the MHLW and Anson Davis, and validated by the GRG on 24 June 2016.

Corpseflower

# Personality:

Despite the rumors about her being a witch and practicing dark magic, blah blah blah, Corpse is just a herbalist with great healing skills. She's a hermit that lives on the outskirts of the Sand Kingdom closer to the mountains. As for the rumors about her giving out love spells? Corpseflower is just good at giving advice, and using her power to find out what dragons want. Corpseflower is an introvert, and does nothing to stop the rumors, as it keeps dragons away. She's a bit unfriendly when dragons first get to know her, but that's just because she isn't used to many social interactions. She'll take a while to warm up to you, but once she does, Corpse will trust you completely

# Positive Traits:

Great at giving advice, great doctor, good fighter, smart

# Negative Traits:

Introvert, awkward at social interactions, bit unfriendly and cold at first

# Other:

Was born under a full moon, but instead of getting mind reading, she can read motives, intents, wants, desires, hates, back stories, etc... Oh, and she can also see animus spells placed on things/dragons and determine the exact wording, plus she doesn't have a teardrop scales. But she can't read minds. Has pet cat named Chess
