Shizue Tatsuta

Feb 11, 1903 - Jan 21, 1962 (58 years old) in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan

Shizue Tatsuta was a Japanese actress of the silent and early sound eras. Much is unknown about her life before her acting career. As an actress, she symbolized the "moga" (modern girl) archetype of the era. She appeared in nearly seventy films, including works by Yasujiro Ozu, Mikio Naruse, and Heinosuke Gosho.

After about ten years of acting experience, she retired from Shochiku in 1936, at the age of thirty-three. After retiring, she opened a bar in Ginza. She married Aikichi Ikeda, a high-class furniture dealer, and they had a child.
