Biography

Best known for her role of Kirko Tsujimori in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000), Misato Tanaka started her acting career at an early age, often appearing in stage plays as a child. Tanaka would appear in several beauty pageants and other contests once she got older, including Toho's Cinderella contest. In 1997, the actress landed a role in a NHK TV series, which would finally spring her into the spotlight, something that would later lead to her role as Kirko Tsujimori in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000), and also her cameo appearance in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002) as Nurse Tsujimori, no relation to her previous character except as an in-joke nod.
