Hama Mie
- Name: Hama Mie
- Native name: 浜美枝
- Also Known as: はま みえ, 金子三枝子
- Nationality: Japanese
- Gender: Female
- Born: November 20, 1943
- Age: 80
Hama was working as a bus conductor when she was spotted by producer Tomoyuki Tanaka. She went on to become one of the most in-demand actresses in Japan. Notable appearances included the 1965 spy comedy Kokusai Himitsu Keisatsu: Kagi no Kagi, which was the source for the Woody Allen film What's Up, Tiger Lily? and Toho Studio's monster and fantasy movies such as King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), The Lost World of Sinbad (1963) and King Kong Escapes (1967). By the time she starred in You Only Live Twice, she had made more than 60 movies.
Hama was originally cast to play the character Aki (who was originally named Suki) and her co-star Wakabayashi Akiko was cast to play Kissy Suzuki. The two actresses were sent to London for three months, to be tutored in English, although in the end, Hama was dubbed by Nikki van der Zyl. Eventually, she left acting to become a talk-show host in Japan. She is dedicated to supporting Japan's natural wonders and preserving the environment. She also owns and rents out a traditional house in Mt. Fuji called "Hakone-Yamaboushi" that is built from various abandoned houses.
In 2017, she said in a New York Times article that she gave up acting, because she wanted a normal life, a life that includes authoring 14 books, becoming a television and radio host, connoisseur of folk art and advocating the preservation of old farms and farming techniques, and not losing the authentic Japan for economic development, as well as marrying a TV executive and raising their four children.
