Tsuneyo Toyonaga (豊永 常代, Toyonaga Tsuneyo, 21 May 1894 – 22 February 2008) was a Japanese supercentenarian who was the oldest living person in Japan from the death of Shitsu Nakano on 19 August 2007 until Toyonaga's death. She was the fifth-oldest living person in the world following the 14 November 2007 death of fellow 113-year-old Bertha Fry. At the time of her death she was one of the 90 longest lived people ever.
Before her death, Toyonaga was living in the town of Tano in the Kōchi Prefecture on the island of Shikoku.

Kaku Yamanaka (山中 かく, Yamanaka Kaku, 11 December 1894 – 5 April 2008) was a Japanese supercentenarian. She died at the age of 113 years, 116 days. At the time of her death, Yamanaka was the sixth-oldest living person in the world, and the oldest person in Japan. She lived her last years at a nursing home in Yatomi, Aichi Prefecture.
According to officials at the nursing home, Yamanaka loved singing and dancing. Following her death, the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry of Japan reported that a 112-year-old woman, from Okinawa Prefecture, was the nation's new oldest person. This turned out to be Kama Chinen.
