Kamato Hongo
(c. 1893〔 (or September 16, 1887) – October 31, 2003) was a Japanese centenarian and ''possibly'' a supercentenarian. She was considered to be the world's oldest recognized living person〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kamato Hongo, 116; Believed to Be World's Oldest Person )〕 from March 2002 until her death. The Guinness World Records withdrew its acceptance and verification of Hongo's age claim in 2012.〔http://www.grg.org/Adams/CCCCC.HTM〕
==Biography==
Hongo was born Kamato Kimura on the small island of Tokunoshima, home of Shigechiyo Izumi, around 1893. Hongo gave birth to seven children (three daughters and four sons) between 1909 and 1933. She later moved to Kagoshima on Kyūshū, where she lived with her daughter. She was considered to be the oldest person in Japan after the death of Denzo Ishisaki in 1999. Hongo attained a measure of celebrity and was the focus of some merchandise (washcloths, keyrings, phone cards, etc.) sold highlighting her longevity. She appeared on Japanese television several times.
She spent her later life in Kagoshima, Kyūshū, and celebrated her claimed 116th birthday the month before her death from pneumonia.
Kyūshū has been the home of other age recordholders, including former WOM and WOP Yukichi Chuganji, who died one month before her. In January 2007, another Kyūshū islander, Yone Minagawa, attained the world's oldest person title, and Kyūshū resident Tomoji Tanabe took the men's title, once again making it the "island of longevity".
