From the original list, these are/could be still alive:

 

Katsumi Tezuka (1912) If he doesn't suprise us all and appear in Japan's supercentenarian statistics in August, he's definitely dead.

Kyoko Kagawa (1931) Still active and working. 

Koji Furuhata (1933) Yes, Furuhata, not Furuhate. Probably alive, latest imdb credits from 2014, 2015 and 2017. 

Goro Mutsumi (1934-2021) Alive, still performed on stage before covid in 2019.

Teruyoshi Nakano (1935) Probably alive

Akira Kubo (1936) Alive, latest imdb credit from 2020.

Special effects director Teruyoshi Nakano died from septicemia in June at 86.

So his wiki page noted that if he was still alive he’d be in the top 35 oldest men so they finally marked him as dead. I didn’t check the Japan supercentenarian statistics but I get the feeling he didn’t show up there either

I made that change to his Wiki page.
 

If a Toho star from a popular franchise was still alive at 100, never mind 110, we’d know all about it.
