Kane Tanaka celebrated her 119th birthday in Japan on Sunday, extending her record as the world's oldest person to another year. Tanaka took in the new year and her birthday at a nursing home in Fukuoka, Japan, and her family said she intends to live another year to reach her 120th birthday, further bolstering her feat in Guinness Book of Records. Tanaka, born in 1903, previously eclipsed the Japanese record for years lived when she turned 117 years and 261 days back in September of 2020. During Tanaka's lifespan, she witnessed five Japanese imperial reigns, two world wars and was born the same year that the Wright brothers made their first powered flight and six months before British novelist George Orwell. In the first photo from 2019, Tanaka is seen gesturing to her Guiness World Record certificate. In the second, undated photo, Tanaka is seen in the first row, center, with her brothers and sisters. Happy Birthday Kane! 🎈🎉 📷: TAKUTO KANEKO, KYODO NEWS VIA AP, Guinness World Records
