Jitsuko Yoshimura
Description
Jitsuko Yoshimura is primarily known as a Japanese film and television actress with a career spanning from the 1950s to the present day, and her work as an anime voice actor is very limited.
Born on April 18, 1943, in Tokyo, Yoshimura began her acting career in 1954. She gained recognition in the 1960s for her roles in major films, being discovered by director Shohei Imamura for the film Pigs and Battleships. She is well known for her performance in the 1964 film Onibaba, a role that earned her the Blue Ribbon Award for Best Supporting Actress, one of Japan's major film prizes. Her work during this period also includes notable films such as The Insect Woman and Akira Kurosawa's Dodes'ka-den.
While Yoshimura has been active in the entertainment industry for decades, her voice acting roles in anime are rare. One of her few credits in this field is the 1970 animated feature film Cleopatra, in which she provided the voices for the characters Mary and Lybia. This film, directed by Osamu Tezuka, is a notable entry in her filmography as it marks her primary contribution to the world of animation.
Regarding the series Sadako, the search results indicate that Jitsuko Yoshimura appears in the 2019 film Sadako, which is a live-action production and not an anime series. In this film, she plays the role of an Old Woman in live-action, not a voice role in an animated project. There is no information found linking her to a character named Kiyo in any anime series.
Outside of her work in Cleopatra, no other substantial or confirmed anime voice acting roles were found in the available information. Her extensive filmography consists almost entirely of live-action performances in movies and television dramas.
