Biography

She was born in Musashino, Tokyo. She graduated from Kojimachi Gakuen Girls' High School. She was scouted during her high school studies and debuted as a model. She debuted as an actress in 1977 in Jigoku no Tenshi: Akai Bakuon (Toei Company). She gained attention for putting everything into her role in Third Base (1978).

She married Takuro Yoshida in December 1986. After that, her physical condition weakened and she temporarily suspended her career from 1988.

Since returning to the TBS Television drama Utsukushī Hito in 1999, her career has been more active than even before her break.
