Each day she takes half an hour to write at her computer, and she says, "I tend to feel guilty because I write these stories almost for fun." She keeps an on-line journal for her English speaking fans. She keeps her personal life guarded, and reveals little about her certified Rolfing practitioner husband, Hiroyoshi Tahata and son (born in 2003).
Whenever she appears in public she eschews make-up and dresses simply. During that time, she took the pseudonym "Banana" after her love of banana flowers, a name she recognizes as both "cute" and "purposefully androgynous."ĭespite her success, Yoshimoto remains a down-to-earth and obscure figure. She graduated from Nihon University's Art College, majoring in Literature. Growing up in a liberal family, she learned the value of independence from a young age. Along with having a famous father, poet Takaaki Yoshimoto, Banana's sister, Haruno Yoiko, is a well-known cartoonist in Japan. Yoshimoto, daughter of Takaaki Yoshimoto, was born in Tokyo on July 24, 1964.
