Sayoko Hagiwara

Sayoko Hagiwara is a Japanese performer whose work in film spans two decades. Born on December 1, 1962, Hagiwara entered cinema in 1983 with the role of Rei Tachibana, also known as DynaPink, in the film Kagaku Sentai Dynaman: The Movie. The production, part of a long-running genre series, cast Hagiwara in a lead role central to its narrative.
