Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.
She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland. After her release from the Accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for a few years before returning to Europe.
Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, Ghost Stories, which has earned her much acclaim as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)
