Miyako Chouchou was a highly celebrated Japanese comedian and actress, whose career in entertainment spanned over seven decades. She was born on July 6, 1920, in Tokyo, and passed away on October 12, 2000. Her real name was Suzuko Hinata. She began her stage career at the age of seven, performing as a child comedian in a troupe formed by her father.

While Chouchou was a prolific performer in live-action film, television, and on stage, her work in anime was extremely rare. She is best known for a single, notable voice role: she provided the voice for the character Grandman Kikuchi in the 1999 Studio Ghibli film My Neighbors the Yamadas. Her involvement in the film was listed as a special appearance. Beyond this credit, there are no widely documented records of her taking on other roles in anime.

Her career was primarily defined by her work in manzai (a traditional style of stand-up comedy), acting, and television hosting. She was a beloved figure in Japanese popular culture, particularly in the Kansai region. Her long-running radio and television program "Meoto Zenzai" was a massive hit. Over her lifetime, she received numerous prestigious honors, including the Medal with Purple Ribbon in 1984 and the Order of the Precious Crown, Fourth Class, in 1993, in recognition of her significant contributions to Japanese arts and entertainment.
