Yone Minagawa is believed (and is listed by Guinness) to be the oldest living person (as of June 2007 she is 114 years old) . She was born in Akaike, Japan. She currently lives in a nursing home in Akaike. She has 6 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. Ironically, the oldest living man listed by Guinness is also a resident of Akaike, Japan, and he is 111 years old. I wonder if theres something in the water over there! She is soooooo cute!

TOKYOYone Minagawa, the world's oldest person, has died at 114 at a nursing home in southwestern Japan (the former mining town of Fukuchi). I salute her long life. May she rest in peace!
