Biography edit

Kishida was born in Tokyo in 1930 as the second daughter of playwright Kunio Kishida.[1] She joined the Bungakuza theatre company in 1950, making her breakthrough in Yukio Mishima's stage production of Oscar Wilde's Salome.[1] In 1963, she left the Bungakuza and joined the Kumo Theatre Company.[2]

Kishida gave her film debut with a small role in Tadashi Imai's An Inlet of Muddy Water (1953).[3] Her first leading film roles were in Hiroshi Teshigahara's Woman in the Dunes and Yasuzō Masumura's Manji (both 1964).[1] Other film credits include Kon Ichikawa's Her Brother (1960), Yasujirō Ozu's An Autumn Afternoon (1962), Kaneto Shindō's Akuto (1965), Teshigahara's The Face of Another (1966) and Rikyu (1989), and Isao Yukisada's Spring Snow (2005), based on the Mishima novel of the same name.

She also appeared on television in various Taiga dramas such as Akō Rōshi (1979) and Takeda Shingen (1988),[4] and performed voiceovers for anime series like Moomin (1969–70), Vampire Princess Miyu (1988) and Princess Tutu (2002–03).[1]

Kishida was married to the actor Noboru Nakaya from 1954 to 1978.[5] She died on 17 December 2006 in Tokyo from respiratory failure caused by a brain tumor.[2]
