Answer

An extensive search might lead one to believe that Reiko Kuba did not appear in any movies prior to, or even after, Sayonara! See, for example, these links:

However, she did have a modest part in Dark Angel: Brainiac, ...some 45 years later, in 2002 (!!)

Beyond that modest part, perhaps it is true ... that she didn't appear in anything else. How curious is that?

I knew she did not appear in any more movies. I wondered what else she did with her life. I could not find any biography or anything.

Accepted Answer

Other than the part in Dark Angel: Brainiac, unlike most other celebrities, there were no other references of any kind that I could find either.

Even surviving WW-I soldiers can be located - in web pages in other languages - but there was NOTHING about her!
