Biography

Miyako was born in Wakayama in the Kansai region of Japan on 2 May 1901.[4] She credited eating eel, drinking red wine, and never smoking for her longevity.[3] Her husband, Shoji, was employed by the Japanese National Railways, and his career allowed them to travel extensively. [1]

Miyako's longevity record was confirmed following research and an evidence review, according to Guinness World Records and its Gerontology Research Group.[1] She died on 22 July 2018 in Yokohama, at the age of 117 years, 81 days.[5] After Miyako's death, Kane Tanaka, born 2 January 1903 and living in Fukuoka, Japan, became the world's oldest verified living person.[6]
