Ootori Office (blog)
Ran Otori Revue Academy

• Although born and raised in Kobe, she is ethnically Chinese and was one of the first non-Japanese women to enter the Revue. She became an important star very quickly and had one of the longest top careers in Takarazuka history. She remains one of the two ethnically non-Japanese top stars (the other is Aran Kei, also in Star Troupe).
• One of the key actresses of Rose of Versailles era. She and Anna Jun were top stars in Star Troupe together (since 1970) before Anna's transfer to Flower Troupe (in 1974).
• She was married in 1980, had two children, and divorced not long afterward.
• She continues to have a good relationship with the Revue and often appears as an OG in concerts and specials.
• In 2008, she opened up a revue school in Ebisu, Tokyo called "Ran Ootori Revue Academy", which specialized in song and dance lessons for both genders. On March 31st, 2024, the school was closed.
• Before TMS entrance exam, haven't seen any Takarazuka shows. She was invited to take it by her friend.
