Bio
Shitsukawa was born in Ushigome, Shinjuku, Tokyo City on November 1, 1925. In 1946, she married her husband Hiroyuki and gave birth to a girl named Yumi.

On October 10, 1978, upon hearing that her daughter was doing some voice-acting, Shitsukawa divorced Hiroyuki and fleed from Japan. She then went to Hong Kong. In May 1991, she joined Wong Sound Effects Studio and worked at there until November 1999.

On October 31, 2002, at the end of the pier in Harajuku, Shibuya, Shitsukawa confronted her husband and daughter. Voice actress was happy to see her, but Hiroyuki was frightened. World War II veteran Kazuyuki Tanaka arrived and acknowledges Shitsukawa's complaints about being ill-treated by society, but did not accept that as an excuse for her rampage. Distracting Shitsukawa, Hiroyuki kicked the gun away as Tanaka drew his revolver, insisting that Shitsukawa give himself up. Shitsukawa instead pulled a water gun Inoue was playing with earlier, tricking Tanaka into shooting her dead.
