Yoko Tani
was a French-born Japanese actress and nightclub entertainer. Early life Tani was born in Paris. Her birth name was ''Itani Yōko'' (猪谷洋子). She has occasionally been described as 'Eurasian', 'half French', 'half Japanese' and even, in one source, 'Italian Japanese', all of which are incorrect. French records (1958) show that her father and mother—both Japanese—were attached to the Japanese embassy in Paris, with Tani herself conceived ''en route'' during a shipboard passage from Japan to Europe in 1927 and subsequently born in Paris the following year, hence given the name ''Yōko'' (洋子), one reading of which can mean "ocean-child.". Tani would later play a diplomat's daughter in ''Piccadilly Third Stop''. According to Japanese sources, the family returned to Japan in 1930, when Yoko would still have been a toddler, and she did not return to France until 1950 when her schooling was completed. Given that there were severe restrictions on Japanese travelling outsi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
