Died c. November 1978 (aged 79)[2]
Adachi, Tokyo[3]
Cause of death
Claimed by relatives to be Sokushinbutsu; undetermined according to official autopsy[2][4]

Sogen Kato (加藤 宗現 Katō Sōgen?, 22 July 1899 – c. November 1978) was thought to have been Tokyo's oldest man until July 2010, when his mummified corpse was found in his bedroom. It was concluded he had likely died in November 1978, aged 79, and his family had never announced his death in an attempt to preserve his record. Relatives had rebuffed attempts by ward officials to see Kato in preparations for Respect for the Aged Day later that year, citing various reasons from him being a "human vegetable" to becoming a Sokushinbutsu. The cause of death was not determined due to the state of Kato's body.

The revelations about the disappearance of Furuya and the death of Kato prompted a nationwide investigation, which concluded that police did not know if 234,354 people older than 100 were still alive.
