We are deeply honored to know Mr. Tadashige Ochi, a remarkable pioneer from Ehime Prefecture, Japan, who has reached the extraordinary age of 105. His life spans more than a century of history, during which he has witnessed countless significant moments in the United States since making it his home.
On Sunday, November 9, 2025, Nanka Ehime Kenjinkai will celebrate its 115th Anniversary. We sincerely hope Mr. Ochi will be in good health to join us on this special occasion, where we look forward to honoring him as the most senior and respected member of our community.
