Kin was the elder daughter and Gin was the younger daughter. Tests later proved that they were identical twins, though their blood types differed. In 1991, about to reach 100 years of age, the twins were featured in a newspaper article and received congratulations from both the mayor of Nagoya and the Aichi Prefecture governor In 2000, Kin Narita, the elder twin died, aged 107. The cause of death was heart failure, as confirmed by an autopsy. Her favorite food was fish with red flesh. One year later, in 2001, her younger sister Gin died at 108 years of age. The cause of death could not be attributed to any specific diagnosis and therefore was given as “old age”. Her favorite food was fish with red flesh. One of the sisters has four daughters who also showed signs of longevity. The four sisters have taken part in a documentary by NHK, ''Today's Close-Up''. The sisters also featured in a study about longevity.
