Mihoko Inagaki is a Japanese actress and businesswoman born in Machida, Tokyo, Japan.

She attended Tamagawa Gakuen schools and began her studies at Japan Women's University before transitioning to her acting career. In 1956, while still a student, she was scouted and debuted in Nikkatsu's "Hanano Unkou." By 1961, she had moved to Haiyuzu Theater Company to further pursue acting.

In 1977, Inagaki founded the theater group "Mazamashi Dokei," focusing on producing original Japanese musicals. Her commitment to youth development led her to establish an organization in 1986, using stage performances as a platform for family interaction and nurturing young hearts. This initiative gained nonprofit organization (NPO) status in 2001.

Inagaki assumed leadership of DAX International in 2001 following her husband, the director Tano Yuji's passing.

She passed away on August 6, 2024 at the age of 86.
