Kamato Hongo

Kamato Hongo (本郷 かまと, Hongō Kamato?, c.1893 (or September 16, 1887) – October 31, 2003) was a possible Japanese supercentenarian. She was considered to be the world's oldest recognized living person from March 2002 until her death. However, new research in 2010 cast doubt about her age claim and WOP title and the Guinness Book of World Records withdrew its acceptance and verification of Hongo's age claim in 2012.
