  Kinuyo Tanaka Film Series/Biography
Kinuyo Tanaka was a major star in Japan for five decades, from the mid-1920s to the mid-1970s.
During the occupation, Tanaka took on yet another role when she was chosen by the Japanese government as the first official public relations delegate dispatched to the United States after the war (an indication not only of Tanaka's stature, but also of film's undeniable status as the dominant cultural medium of the 20th century).
Kinuyo Tanaka—their equal or superior as an actress—was a major force in Japanese film for most of her fifty-year career (Katharine Hepburn, I suppose, is her only peer).

 Tanaka Kinuyo film series at Stanford : Indybay
In the 20’s and 30’s, in such movies as the “Dragnet Girl,” Tanaka was a cultural icon for young females as a “modern girl,” representing a new sense of femininity for her fans.

 Choreography of desire: analysing Kinuyo Tanaka's acting in Mizoguchi's films
Tanaka's single-minded, passionate devotion to her occupation is often compared to Mizoguchi's almost sadistic attitudes toward actors and the eccentricity of his perfectionist approach to filmmaking.
It is true that throughout the late 1940s, as Tanaka herself entered her late thirties, she had to struggle to outgrow her old star image as the "eternal girl" (mannen musume), and that Mizoguchi films from this period, by casting her in challenging roles, might have provided her with the chance for a breakthrough.
But the fact is that Tanaka had been recognised as a talented actress long before meeting Mizoguchi, and was an independent woman who, after her visit to Hollywood in 1949, left Shochiku to work freelance, providing her with the leverage to choose her directors and the films.

The most successful of Tanaka's six directorial efforts (and apparently, based on my forays into Tanaka chat rooms, a film still cherished by her diehard fans).
Made in collaboration with Yasujiro Ozu, who composed the script, the film is a raucous domestic comedy about a widowed mother and her two daughters.
Tanaka appears in a bit part as the family's maid.

 Kinuyo Tanaka - Films as actress:, Films as director:
Kinuyo Tanaka's half-century of film stardom began in the 1920s at the Shochiku Studio, leading her to become one of the few Japanese woman directors (producing six films between 1953–62).
Contrasting with this dramatic portrayal, her performance as a warm wife who welcomes her unfaithful potter husband in Ugetsu monogatari was rather static, yet equally impressive, and elicited equally sensational acclaim from the critics and public.
Tanaka also did fine work collaborating with Naruse (Ginza Cosmetics and Mother) and Gosho (Four Chimneys), playing ordinary, hard-working women with her strong screen presence and convincingly realistic acting style.

Kinuyo Tanaka is excellent as the eponymous heroine, a young woman who marries, bears a child, and is widowed before she is twenty-one.
During the Meiji era, a woman is deceived into becoming a mistress but then falls in love with a young medical student who ultimately leaves her.
Kinuyo Tanaka gives a stellar performance as the heroine (here fictionally renamed Eiko Hirayama), a politically-active schoolteacher who defies her Okayama family and leaves for Tokyo to be with the man she loves, an organizer for the newly-formed Liberal Party.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: A Tale of Archery at the Sanjusangendo
Possessed of much raw talent, Kazuma is also very much a coward, holing himself up in an inn run by the kindly Okinu (Kinuyo Tanaka) and generally avoiding confrontation of any sort.
And to those who still wish for more, look no further than Kinuyo Tanaka who makes something soulful out of her seemingly inconsequential supporting role.
It all comes full circle in A Tale of Archery's final sequence where Tanaka is granted the film's last close-up and dialogue, a moment that plays as something of an awestruck precursor to Marlene Dietrich's multilayered Touch of Evil précis.
