Yoshigiku Ito

Yoshigiku Ito (3 August 1856 - 26 November 1966) was a verified Japanese supercentenarian and at the time of her death the world's oldest living woman. She is erroneously verified as a male supercentenarian, but contemporary news reports confirm she was female. She was succeeded as the world's oldest living woman by Johanna Booysen. She remained the Japanese recordholder until Mito Umeta surpassed her age in 1973.
