On 12 August 2018, following the death of 111-year-old Kiku Aoyama, she became the oldest living woman in Hokkaido Prefecture, and the second-oldest living resident, after Masazo Nonaka. Nonaka outlived her, so she never became the oldest living person in the Prefecture.
Her age was verified by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW), as well as Yu Li and Fumiyuki Yamaguchi, and validated by LongeviQuest on 26 May 2023.
