(TBS), and in 1981, she began a full-fledged career in show business, appearing in &#8220;Senpachi Sensei, 2 Years B Class&#8221; (TBS).

Shortly after this, she changed her stage name to Yoshiko Miyazaki, but changed it back to Miyazaki Yoshiko in 2000.</p>

She was supported during this period by Akira Kurosawa&#8217;s film &#8220;Ran,&#8221; in which she appeared at the age of 27, a turning point in her career, according to her own words. If I had not seen Akira Kurosawa&#8217;s film &#8220;Ran,&#8221; I don&#8217;t think I would be where I am today. I was so afraid of making mistakes that I was reticent, but Kurosawa told me that it was okay to be just as I was&#8221; (Fujin Koron, September 8, 2008 issue).</p>
