Tane Ikai (猪飼 たね Ikai Tane, 18 January 1879 – 12 July 1995)[2][3] was a Japanese supercentenarian who was, at her death, the oldest verified person ever from Japan and Asia.[4] (However, Shigechiyo Izumi was still thought to have been older at the time of her death. Izumi's record was withdrawn by Guinness World Records in 2010.)[5][6]
Tane Ikai was born on 18 January 1879 in the village of Kansei, Aichi Prefecture (now part of Minato-ku, Nagoya). She was the third daughter of six children of a farming family. She married at age 20, had three sons and a daughter, and separated from her husband when she was 38 in 1917. She entered a nursing home at the age of 89 in 1968. In 1988, at the age of 109, she suffered a stroke and was moved to a hospital, where she remained bedridden for the rest of her life.[1]
Ikai became Japan's oldest person at the age of 113 in 1992 following the death of 114-year-old Waka Shirahama. She outlived all of her children and died on 12 July 1995, aged 116 years, 175 days. An autopsy indicated that she died of kidney failure.[1] She was the first supercentenarian to be autopsied.[7]
