Kamato Hongo (September 16, 1887? -
October 31, 2003) was a Japanese supercentenarian and apparently the world's
oldest recognized living person from March 2002 until her death. She lived in
Kagoshima, on Japan's most southerly major island Kyūshū, and celebrated her
possible 116th birthday the month before her death from pneumonia. Born on the
small island of Tokunoshima, home of Shigechiyo Izumi, she later moved to
Kagoshima on Kyūshū, where she lived with her daughter. The apparent oldest
person in Japan after the death of Denzo Ishisaki in cheap nfl jerseys
1999, she attained a measure of
celebrity and was the focus of some merchandise (washcloths, keyrings, phone
cards, etc.) sold highlighting her longevity. White, née Joyner (November 18,
1874? - February 14, 1991), was recognized by the Guinness Book of World
Records as the oldest person in the world around the time she celebrated her
alleged 114th birthday in 1988. A resident of a Palatka, Florida nursing home,
she had been institutionalized since a nervous breakdown in 1909, about the
time of her divorce. Her documentation was described as impeccable, but recent
research has indicated she might in fact have been 21 rather than 35 when she
was admitted, meaning she may have died at 102 (instead of 116). If this is the
case, Jeanne Calment became the world's oldest living person not when Carrie
White died February 14, 1991 (considered the holder of the United States
longevity record until it was first broken by Lucy Hannah, then later by Sarah
Knauss), but immediately on the death of Florence Knapp in January 1988.
