Life

Yōko Shōji (庄司 葉子) was born on August 20, 1934, in Tottori Prefecture,[4] to a family of cotton merchants who had settled in Yumihama.[5] Her family is a branch of the Shōji family, the landed magnate of Watari.[6] She is the niece of businessman and politician Shōji Ren.[7]

Tsukasa attended Tottori Prefectural Sakai High School and graduated from Kyoritsu Women's Junior College.[8]

When she was scouted by Ryō Ikebe to became an actress, it was met with great objection from her uncle Shōji Ren. According to Ren's associate Yasuda Mitsuaki, Ren told Tsukasa and Ikebe that "I could not show my face to [our] honorable ancestors if the Shōji clan would produce a riverbank beggar [lowly actor]. If you would do this, you will be cut out from the family for a kalpa [forever]." After this, Ikebe asked something to be done about Ren's opinion.[6] Despite the great objection by her uncle, Tsukasa still decided to pursue a career as an actress.

She married politician and attorney Hideyuki Aizawa.[8] Their son Hiromitsu married singer and actress Shoko Aida.[9]
