Is it possible to check if Mrs Okawa was born in 1899 rather than 1898 as claimed? Even if born in 1899, Okawa would have been the oldest living person after Jiroemon Kimura's death, if Gertrude Weaver would have been born 1899 or 1900 rather than 1898 as well. In this case, the 1898 cohort would have its extinction already on January 2, 2013, and for ten days thereafter we would have two living people born in 1897 (Jiroemon Kimura and Koto Okubo) but no people born in 1898.
