Her maiden name was Machida Tsuya. She was married to a merchant from Wakayama Prefecture. He was living in Dobo in the Aru Islands, Irian Jaya in what was then Dutch New Guinea, when the Pacific War broke out. She was taken to Australia and was interned at Tatura Internment Camp with her husband Otosuke. She died two days after being admitted to the camp hospital with pneumonia, only two months before the end of the war. She was aged 65.
