From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ura Koyama (小山 ウラ Koyama Ura, August 30, 1890 - April 5, 2005) of Iizuka became the oldest person in Japan upon the death of Mitoyo Kawate in November 2003.

By early December 2004 she had become the second-oldest documented person in the world at the time. Some months later, however, she died of pneumonia. With her death, Yone Minagawa became the oldest known living person in Japan.
