She soon became one of Nikkatsu's top actresses, but it was her portrayals of strong-willed modern girls in Kenji Mizoguchi's Osaka Elegy and Sisters of the Gion in 1936 at the new Daiichi Eiga studio that earned her popularity and critical acclaim.

She moved from Toho to the Shintoho studios, but later left Shintoho as well to become a freelancer.

She married leftist actor Yoshi Katō, her third husband, and in the wake returned to the union, joined the Mingei Theatre Company and co-founded the Gendai Haiyu Kyokai theatre group.

1950
