Personal life
Born as Moriko Nakanishi, she is the youngest of six siblings. Her parents were labor activists who went into hiding, which led to her aunt and her husband adopting her. After the war ended, she returned to her family in Osaka, where her father turned out to be abusive and eventually left. Influenced by her adoptive mother, who was once a Takarazuka Revue actress, she joined the troupe and became known as Ineko Anima the Second, performing male roles, before joining the film industry.
She had extramarital affair with Kon Ichikawa.[6][7]
