Biography[]
Keiko Hoshi was born in Tokyo, Japan, and she worked as a prostitute before becoming one of yakuza boss Tetsuo Nomoto's mistresses. In 1963, she recognized former policeman Joji Mizuno from her days as a prostitute and tracked him down to his apartment, where she slept with him and persuaded him to murder Nomoto's secret sixth mistress, the only mistress whom Keiko could not control. When Mizuno failed to discover the sixth mistress through interrogating Hideo Nomoto, for which he was tortured, Mizuno revealed that Keiko had put him up to it, so Nomoto took him along as he confronted Keiko at her apartment. Nomoto viciously whipped Keiko with his belt before pursuing her into her back yard and violently throwing himself upon her before whipping her to death before she could reveal Mizuno's past.
