Debuting as a singer, with a number of hit songs in the mid-1950s to early 1960s, she also appeared in films such as Kawashima Yuzo's Gurama-to no yuwaku and Ichikawa Kon’s Ten Dark Women. Anime fans might remember her for starring as the voice of Painyan in Hakujaden, Japan’s first feature length color animated film. Later in life, she founded the Nemu no Ki school for disabled children, and directed several documentaries about the school. In her personal life, she was the long-standing partner of the novelist Yoshiyuki Junnosuke.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2020032300181&g=soc" class="">https://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2020032300181&g=soc</a></div><br class=""><br class=""><div class="">
