She started learning Nihon Buyo (traditional Japanese dance) at the Wakayanagi school at the age of 4, obtained her stage name at 11, and became a master at the age of 22. After attending Morimura Gakuen Elementary School and Junior High School, and Keio Girls High School, she graduated from Keio University's Faculty of Law. She then pursued a career as a stage actress. While her father was not necessarily supportive of her career choice, due to her strong determination, he sought support from executives at Shochiku, a company closely related to Fuji Television, where he was a shareholder.
Subsequently, feeling unfulfilled with only stage performances, she made her debut in the film "Ancient Capital Melancholy: An Elder Sister and Younger Sister" in 1967 under the stage name Wakayanagi Kiku.
She stepped away from the entertainment industry in 1971. She married in 1973 and had a daughter, but divorced in 1978.
In 1980, she changed her stage name to Hiroko Nazuki and made a comeback. Since then, she has been active primarily in stage performances and television dramas.
