## Biography

After dropping out from high school, she joined Watanabe Productions.

By the time she was in elementary school, she belonged to the theatre company "Kojika" (her first drama appearance is The Human Condition in the role of a Chinese child).

In 1972, she made her debut in the entertainment world with Zoku Ōoku no Onna-tachi. In April of that year, she debuted her musical career with "Midori no Kisetsu", but soon turned into an actress. She appeared on television dramas such as Zakkyo Jidai and Ōedo Sōsamō.

In 1982, she married a securities company employee. They gave birth to two boys.

On 1 September 2010, she moved to F Road from Office PSC that she belonged to.[1]
