Biography

Formerly known as Towako Yoshikawa, before marrying the president of Kimijima International and taking her husband's last name, Towako Kimijima is best remembered for her role of Chinatsu Gondo in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994).

Kimijima started out as a model in the mid-1980's at the age of 19 before venturing into TV roles closer to the end of the decade. The actress was very active in the TV arena, although eventually broke into film with a pair of Toei productions. In 1994, she appeared in her only Toho movie with a role in the 21st Godzilla film. Kimijima was featured in one more movie, The Big Heartbreak by Toei, before announcing her retirement from acting on December 11th, 1995. Kimijima did not bow out of the spotlight, though, and instead became a supervisor at Kimijima International. She has since launched her own cosmetic line, called Felice Towako, and has wrote a book as well, named The Perfect Towako Style. Her age and continued good looks have led her to be an idol for middle aged women in Japan, and she is often called by the shorter Towako name by her admirers.
