Biography
Tamaki Katori was a Japanese actress born on 21 October 1938 and died on 12 October 2015, famous for her pioneering role in "pink films" (softcore erotic films) in the 1960s and early 1970s.
She began her career at Nikkatsu after a beauty contest in Kumamoto, playing supporting roles before turning to independent pink films for financial reasons. Nicknamed the "Pink Princess," she made more than 600 films between 1962 and 1972, with directors such as Satoru Kobayashi, Kōji Wakamatsu, and Giichi Nishihara. After retiring, she married three times, ran a petrol station and then a company canteen.
Flesh Market (Nikutai no Ichiba, 1962), her first notable pink film.
Sex Jack (1970) by Kōji Wakamatsu, presented at Cannes.
Sex Family (1971), with Junko Miyashita.
These works illustrate the first wave of pink films, before the Roman Porno era of Nikkatsu.
