Fusa Tatsumi (born 25 April 1907) is a Japanese supercentenarian. Aged, she has been Japan's oldest living person since the death of Kane Tanaka on 19 April 2022.[1][2]

Fusa Tatsumi was born in Yao, Osaka Prefecture, Empire of Japan on 25 April 1907.[1] Tatsumi moved into the Hakuto nursing home in Kashiwara, Osaka Prefecture, Japan in 2013. When she came to the nursing home she was in relatively good health, and was able to do gymnastics from her wheelchair. Aged 110, she was still able to do her own makeup.[3] She is now bedridden and rarely speaks.[4][5] After the death of Lucile Randon of France on 17 January 2023, Tatsumi became the second-oldest living person in the world behind American Maria Branyas.[6][5][7] The pair are the last two people verified to have been born in 1907.
