Atsuko Asano
Asano Atsuko, not to be confused with the writer of the same name, was born in Adachi in Northern Tokyo. Her parents ran a soba-noodle restaurant. She auditioned for a remake called "Eden No Umi" at age 15 and obtained a minor role. She had a credited role for the movie "Fumiko To Hatsu" the next year, in which she appeared nude. She delighted male audiences by also being nude in "Play It, Boogie-Woogie." She quickly began acting in feature films and by 1983 had won a Best Supporting Actress Award from the Japan Academy Prize for "Yokiroh." "The 101st Proposal" was a 1991 romantic serial, which was popular and might have heralded her peak fame. This side of the century, and since 2003, she began book reading and narrating Japanese folklore ('Kojiki' - oldest surviving chronicle in Japan) at various shrines and became an honourary professor at Tokyo's Kokugakuin University. She married writer Uozumi Tsutomu in 1983 and gave birth to a son Ouzumi Yu in 1984; he is now an NHK announcer. Like all Japanese celebrities, she has endorsed a dozen corporate products. She is represented by Ikushima Kikaku Shitsu.
Atsuko Hirayanagi
Atsuko Hirayanagi was born on 2-8-2015 in Nagano (Japan) and was raised in Chiba (Japan). She later studied fine arts at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts Asia, where she eventually passed an MFA (Master of Fine Arts) in Film Production. A resident of San Francisco, she is also a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. To this day, her (still young) career amounts to four shorts and a feature film. Her fourth short entitled "Oh Lucy!" earned her several prizes. She later developed it into a full-length film of the same title. "Oh Lucy!" is an offbeat comedy taking place successively in Tokyo and in Calfornia which ironically challenges the Americanization of Japan.
