Japanese stage actress
 is a Japanese stage actress. Shiraishi became involved in the "Angura" ("underground") theater movement in Japan in the early 1960s, as the star performer in a theater troupe called the Waseda Little Theatre, led by director Tadashi Suzuki. In Shiraishi, Suzuki found an actress whose physical talents could capture his theories about Japanese stage performance. Her first film role was as Oba in "" (1973). She is the narrator in the 1992 film of Stravinsky's opera-oratorio "Oedipus Rex" directed by Julie Taymor.
