About Kaoru
In junior high school, Kaoru joined the Nishino ballet group. She gained popularity with her appearance in the 1967 program Re Gaaruzu with Katsuko Kanai and Etsuko Nami in a mini-skirt number. In 1973, she did her first nude scene in the movie Dosei Jidai ~Kyoko to Jiro~. In the same year, she also performed in the movie Shinanogawa which had a similar scene. There was criticism over the scene in the movie where the character lost her virginity. Kaoru was also featured in a 1976 film Cho koso hoteru satsujin jiken which also had a nude scene. In 1986, she became a regular cast member portraying O-gin and O-en in the television prime-time jidaigeki Mito Komon. Her bath scene is her trademark in the show. -- Wikipedia
