Wikipedia description:

Kayoko Shiraishi (白石 加代子, Shiraishi Kayoko) is a Japanese stage actress. Shiraishi became involved in the Angura ("underground") theater movement in Japan in the early 1960s, as the star performer in a theater troupe called the Waseda Little Theatre, led by director Tadashi Suzuki. In Shiraishi, Suzuki found an actress whose physical talents could capture his theories about Japanese stage performance. Her first film role was as Oba in Female Convict Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 (1973). She is the narrator in the 1992 film of Stravinsky's opera-oratorio Oedipus Rex directed by Julie Taymor.
