Otome Amatsu

Otome Amatsu (9 October 1905 – 30 May 1980) (天津乙女 in Japanese, or あまつ おとめ in kana) was a Master of Japanese dance, TV and musical actress most widely recognized as Takarazuka Revue Leader of the Moon Troupe from 1928 to 1933. She later served as a director of the Takarazuka Revue Company. Her stage name was derived from a poem by Henjō in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu. At that time, Otome became the first member (student) from Tokyo along with Otowako Hatsuse and Shizuko Hisakata.

Otome's younger sisters were Kayoko Kumono and Tsuruko Ikebe (池邊鶴子, new font: 池辺鶴子).
