A koseki (戸籍) is a Japanese family registry. Japanese law requires all Japanese households (ie) to report births, acknowledgements of paternity, adoptions, disruptions of adoptions, deaths, marriages and divorces of Japanese citizens to their local authority, which compiles such records encompassing all Japanese citizens within their jurisdiction. Marriages, adoptions and acknowledgements of paternity become legally effective only when such events are recorded in the koseki. Births and deaths became legally effective as they happen, but such events must be filed by family members.

I was watching the news today and it said that in Osaka city there were over 100 people who were registered to be 100 years old or more... one lady was registered as 127 years old!!!!!! did they find them alive!?!?! no- most of them were not found at all, either their houses were not there anymore and any related papers with the information of their kids or grandkids, residents, dont exist..... it is a problem - this means the city, doesnt recognize the existant of citizen!!!!!
