Yumi Shirakawa joined Toho when she was just 19, in 1956. By the end of the year, Toho had catapulted the beautiful actress into her first starring role, alongside Kenji Sahara in RODAN (Sora no Daikaiju Radon, 1956). Director Ishiro Honda took a shine to her and cast her in several of his subsequent movies, both science fiction (THE MYSTERIANS, THE H-MAN) and not (INAO-STORY OF AN IRON ARM, THE SCARLET MAN). Shirakawa's innately noble good looks tended to typecast her, and her early roles were either beleaguered victims or patrician ice princesses. One surprising exception was her charming ingenue in THE TELEGRAPHED MAN (aka DENSO NINGEN, 1960). By 1961 however, Shirakawa had attracted the attention of such noted directors as Yasujiro Ozu, who put her into his AUTUMN FOR THE KOBAYAKAWA FAMILY (aka EARLY AUTUMN, 1961). The same year, Shirakawa contributed a nuanced performance as a brave schoolteacher facing the end of the world in SEKAI DAISENSO (aka THE LAST WAR). Although she was married in 1962 (to Hideaki Nitani), unlike many of her contemporaries in Japan, her career did not end with marriage. It continues, mainly in television performances, up through at least the late 1980s.- Michirô Minami was born on 25 September 1926 in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan. He was an actor, known for The Tale of Zatoichi (1962), Mikkokusha wa dare ka (1958) and Tokyo yoitoko (1957). He died on 13 November 2007 in Ichikawa, Chiba, Japan.
- Yûki Satô was born on 22 February 1984 in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan. He is an actor, known for Kamen Rider Kabuto: God Speed Love (2006), Kamen Rider Kabuto (2006) and Kamen Rider Kabuto: Birth! Gatack Hyper Form!! (2006).
- Chiyoko Shimakura was born on 30 March 1938 in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan. She was an actress, known for The Wind-of-Youth Group Crosses the Mountain Pass (1961), Tôkyô no hito sayônara (1956) and Wakare no chatsumi-uta (1957). She died on 8 November 2013 in Tokyo, Japan.
