"Gozei Taba" was a Japanese supercentenarian who was the oldest person in Okinawa when she died in 2001.
´´Gozei´´ it is the same as i came, in the sense of having an orgasm in Portuguese

I don't know if the word to enjoy in this sense is came, but that's what Google translator suggested

Lusitania was the ancient name of Portugal, maybe this woman was Portuguese or had Portuguese origins ?
