In 1956, she made her debut on NHK’s children’s show Minna issho. Her earliest roles were mostly in radio and as voice characters.

She rose to prominence as the first voice actress to portray the endearing ghost Q-taro in Obake no Q-tar.

She portrayed a variety of bad characters in the Super Sentai franchise, including Queen Hedrian in Denziman and Sun Vulcan.

For one episode of Maskman, she played Tube Empire’s field commander, Baraba’s mother. After Power Rangers became a hit in America, she soon found herself re-dubbing her own lines as Rita Repulsa when the show was broadcast in Japan.

In her honor, the makers of Power Rangers: Mystic Force repurposed footage of her as Magiel to show a reformed Rita Repulsa in the Mystic Force’s two-part closing episode.
