  Kawashima Yoshiko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kawashima Yoshiko (1907 - October 22, 1947) (川島芳子) was a Manchu princess brought up as a Japanese and executed as a Japanese spy by the Kuomintang after the Second Sino-Japanese War.
Given to a Japanese Ronin Naniwa Kawashima as an adopted daughter after the Xinhai Revolution by Prince Su, she had been renamed as Kawashima Yoshiko, receiving education in Japan.
A character in the previous game in the series also had the name Kawashima Yoshiko, though she was another person altogether and, fictionally, was apparently the namesake for the "real" one.

Yoshiko Kawashima --- she is known as a woman who was a spy wearing a service uniform between Japan and China.
Kawashima, he was Yoshiko's foster father, was in good humor when Yoshiko acted like a boy, but when Yoshiko wore girlish clothes and smiled at a boy, he was very angry and hit her.
They said "Yoshiko is Chinese, but she acted as a spy used as a Japanese tool." Yoshiko asked her father Kawashima by letter to prove that Kawashima had had a Yoshiko's name entered in his family register --- that is to say, Yoshiko was Japanese.

 Kawashima Yoshiko (Chuandao Fangzi/aka The Last Princess of Manchuria) Film Review - Time Out Film
It gives Anita Mui her best role since Rouge as the eponymous bisexual spy who sailed through some 25 years of Sino-Japanese tension and war alternately claiming Chinese and Japanese nationality and (according to Fong) covertly intervening in the politics of both sides.
The film mocks all the received pieties about modern Chinese history (even the Nanking Massacre is presented in kitsch terms), subordinating them to the high-camp melodrama of Yoshiko's torrid love affairs.
Variant endings exist: the one most often seen has Yoshiko executed by firing squad in 1948, but the best one shows her with her pet monkey on her shoulder in present day Tokyo, ageless and immortal.

There was really not much for Yoshiko Kawashima (or Chuandao Fangzi 川島芳子) to believe in after the 1911 Revolution.
So, when the Japanese militarists invited bannermen and former Qing royals to participate in the construction of Manchukuo, people like Yoshiko Kawashima were attracted to the idea.
As far as I know, she was not involved in the infamous Unit 731 experiments, that was Japanese Army business, which was out of her jurisdiction.

Flawed but fascinating biopic of the Asian 'Mata Hari', Kawashima Yoshiko.
As played by Anita Mui Yim-Fong, who appears in almost every scene, she is a sultry, sexy but sadistic and power-hungry heroine who manipulates men with a finger tip.
Not dissimilar from Fong's earlier AMOROUS WOMAN OF TANG DYNASTY, the film seems uncertain of its mood and style, but remains watchable throughout due to Mui's overwhelming presence.

THE LAST PRINCESS OF MANCHURIA) intersects with "The Last Emperor" of China (and, consequently, Bertolucci's film of that name).
