**Kirin Kiki** ([Japanese](/source/Japanese_language): 樹木 希林, [Hepburn](/source/Hepburn_romanization): *Kiki Kirin*; 15 January 1943 – 15 September 2018) was a Japanese actress for [Japanese cinema](/source/Japanese_cinema) and television.

## Biography

Kiki was born on January 15, 1943, in [Kanda](/source/Kanda%2C_Tokyo), [Tokyo](/source/Tokyo). Her father was a master of the *[biwa](/source/Biwa)* lute and a former police officer.[1][2] Her mother owned a cafe in [Jinbōchō](/source/Jinb%C5%8Dch%C5%8D%2C_Tokyo), Tokyo and a restaurant in Noge, [Yokohama](/source/Yokohama), the latter being Kiki's maternal parents' home.[3] Her mother was seven years senior to her father and had a child from both her two previous marriages.[2]

After graduating from high school, she started her acting career in the early 1960s as a member of the [Bungakuza](/source/Bungakuza) theater troupe using the stage name Chiho Yūki (悠木千帆).[4] She eventually gained fame for performing uniquely comedic and eccentric roles on such television shows as *[Jikan desu yo](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jikan_desu_yo&action=edit&redlink=1) [[ja](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%99%82%E9%96%93%E3%81%A7%E3%81%99%E3%82%88)]* and *Terauchi Kantarō ikka* and in [television commercials](/source/Television_commercials).[4] She changed her name to "Kirin Kiki" when, after being asked on a television show to auction off something of hers, she ended up selling her first stage name, claiming she had "nothing else to sell."[1]

While battling various ailments, including a [detached retina](/source/Retinal_detachment) in 2003 and [breast cancer](/source/Breast_cancer) in 2005,[5] Kiki continued to act and won several awards, including the best actress [Japan Academy Prize](/source/Japan_Academy_Prize_(film)) for *[Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad](/source/Tokyo_Tower%3A_Mom_and_Me%2C_and_Sometimes_Dad_(film))* in 2008,[6] the best supporting actress award from the [Yokohama Film Festival](/source/Yokohama_Film_Festival) for her work in *[Kamikaze Girls](/source/Kamikaze_Girls)* and *[Half a Confession](/source/Half_a_Confession)* in 2004,[7] and the best supporting actress [Blue Ribbon Award](/source/Blue_Ribbon_Awards) for *[Still Walking](/source/Still_Walking_(film))* in 2008.[8]

## Personal life

Kiki married fellow [Bungakuza](/source/Bungakuza) actor [Shin Kishida](/source/Shin_Kishida). They separated in 1968. She married musician [Yuya Uchida](/source/Yuya_Uchida_(singer)) in 1973, and remained legally married to him though they separated in 1975.[9] Their daughter, [Yayako Uchida](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yayako_Uchida&action=edit&redlink=1) [[jp](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%86%85%E7%94%B0%E4%B9%9F%E5%93%89%E5%AD%90)], is an essayist and musician, and portrayed the younger self of Kiki's character in the film *Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad*. Yayako Uchida is married to the actor [Masahiro Motoki](/source/Masahiro_Motoki),[1] who was adopted into the Uchida family as a [mukoyōshi](/source/Mukoy%C5%8Dshi).[10] Kirin has three grandchildren by her daughter, including actress Kyara Uchida, who has appeared with her in two films, *[I Wish](/source/I_Wish_(film))* and *[Sweet Bean](/source/Sweet_Bean)*.[11]
