Sakiko Yanagi (November 3, 1902 – March 20, 1963) was the stage name of Japanese actress Kuroyanagi Chiyoko. In the 1920s, she played the heroine of many Shochiku films. She played a pure-hearted heroine in many period dramas and contemporary dramas with beautiful and clear eyes, and she attracted many fans. Orphaned at five years old, Kuroyanagi was taken in by her aunt and uncle. Although they had very little, they instructed her in the arts from a young age. At the age of ten, Kuroyanagi joined a local theater troupe to provide a source of income for her adoptive family. Years later, seeking a livelihood, she appeared as an extra in movies. In 1922, she joined Shochiku Studios as an actress. She became especially famous for her roles in period dramas. After the war, ill health prevented Kuroyanagi from returning to film, and she was economically distressed. In 1956, she was admitted to a philanthropic hospital, severely ill. A local Kyoto film director learned of her plight and formed a "relief caretaker's association," which paid for Kuroyanagi to live out her later years in a supportive nursing home. She passed away in 1963 from a pulmonary edema. She was buried next to Ryuzo Takei, an actor from the silent era and her close friend.
