Sadayakko　(1871 - 1946)
Became a geisha of Yoshi-cho, Tokyo and got married to the actor Otojiro Kawakami in 1891.
She made a tour of Europe in the company of Otojiro and enjoyed a great deal of popularity as Madame Sadayakko.

She established the Teikoku Joyu Yoseijo (the Imperial Actress Training Institute) in 1908.
