During the war, she was a member of the traveling theater troupe Sakura-tai , which was wiped out in the Hiroshima atomic bombing . However, she escaped the atomic bombing because she was away from Hiroshima giving birth
She was highly praised as a great supporting actress, and excelled in the role of a spiteful landlady. She believed that "a supporting role is like a 'screw in each corner'; if even one screw comes loose, the whole thing falls apart."
