BIOGRAPHY
Hisako Sakai (酒井ヒサコ) was born in Japan on October 9, 1896.
Shortly after the end of World War II, she was diagnosed with skin cancer but made a full recovery. She remained in good health afterward, reportedly not even catching a cold by the time she turned 100. Her daily routine included drinking a bottle of milk every morning and doing calisthenics three times a day without fail.
On February 25, 2007, following the death of Matsuyo Ōuchi of Imabari City at the age of 110 years and 267 days, Sakai became the oldest living person in Ehime Prefecture.
Sakai passed away in Ōzu City, Ehime Prefecture, on June 22, 2007, at the age of 110 years and 256 days.
