Who is Yoko Shimada?
Yoko Shimada is a Japanese actress. She is best known to Western audiences for her portrayal of Mariko in the 1980 miniseries ShÅgun. She was the only female member of Shogun's massive cast of Japanese actors shown speaking English, for which she relied on a dialogue coach, as she was not fluent in the language at the time. Her English improved greatly during the production, however, allowing her to work in a few English language films during the 1980s and 1990s.
