==Personal life==
Kōchi's paternal grandfather was Viscount [[Masatoshi Ōkōchi]], the third director of [[Riken]]; her father, a painter, was the second son of Masatoshi.<ref>Saitō, Ken. [https://books.google.com/books?id=4VczAQAAIAAJ&q=%E5%A4%A7%E6%B2%B3%E5%86%85+%E6%A1%83%E5%AD%90

After graduating from [[Japan Women's University]]'s affiliated high school, Kōchi worked as an [[office lady]],<ref>Kikuchi, Hiroshi. [https://books.google.com/books?id=-qsQAQAAMAAJ&q=%E4%B9%85%E6%9D%BE+%E6%A1%83%E5%AD%90
It was in one of Yamamoto's movies that his protégé, [[Ishirō Honda]], saw Kōchi while he was making a science fiction film, ''[[Godzilla (1954 film)|Godzilla]]'', with a topical storyline. Honda chose her to play the main female role of Emiko Yamane. While her role served as the center of the movie's romantic [[subplot]], it provided the purpose for the resolution of the main story. Even though she was inexperienced as an actress at the time, her role was excellent as she hoped for, and she did very well in it.

Kōchi made some appearances on [[Tokyo Broadcasting System Television|TBS]] drama specials produced by [[Fukuko Ishii]] and written by [[Sugako Hashida]]. During her later years, she appeared as Toshiko Takahashi, a woman with [[Alzheimer's disease]], in ''{{nihongo||渡る世間は鬼ばかり|[[Wataru Seken wa Oni Bakari]]}}'', with [[Kunihiko Mitamura]].{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} She also made some appearances in two-hour dramas such as {{nihongo||土曜ワイド劇場|Doyō waido gekijō}}.{{citation needed|date=April 2016}}
In 1995, [[Takao Okawara]] offered Kōchi the chance to reprise her role as Emiko Yamane in ''[[Godzilla vs. Destoroyah]]''. Although Otawara was used to working with younger actors, he was impressed by Kōchi's complete training and concentration. All of her scenes were completed in one day, and her cameo appearance attracted the public throughout Japan. She later recounted her appearance in an interview with [[CNN]]: "After the first Godzilla movie people pointed at me saying, 'Godzilla, Godzilla, Godzilla.' As a young woman I hated Godzilla, so I thought, 'no more Godzilla for me.' But 41 years later I watched the film again and realized how great it was for its anti-nuclear theme."<ref>Ryfle, Steve.

On 19 July 1997, Kōchi's last film, {{nihongo||良寛|Ryōkan}}, was released. Two days later, on 21 July, she made a guest appearance in a TBS Monday Drama Special, {{nihongo||演歌・唱太郎の人情事件日誌|Enka Shōtarō no ninjō jiken nisshi}}.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}}

Later in the same year, Kōchi toured the [[Tōhoku region]] with Haiyuza for performances of {{nihongo||ゆの暖簾|Yu no noren}}. During the tour, she complained about her poor health, and she was diagnosed with [[Colorectal cancer|colon cancer]] in January 1998. Her cancer spread rapidly, and she did not undergo surgery at the time of diagnosis. One year earlier, on 15 December, her final performance was in [[Tsuruoka, Yamagata]].{{citation needed|date=December 2015}}
Kōchi continued her hospitalisation until she died on 5 November 1998 at the [[Japanese Red Cross]] Medical Center in [[Hiroo, Shibuya]] from colon cancer at the age of 66.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=B4QQAQAAMAAJ&q=%E4%B9%85%E6%9D%BE+%E6%A1%83%E5%AD%90
Due to Kōchi's roles in Catholic religious radio programs including {{Nihongo|''Light of the Heart''|心のともしび|Kokoro no Tomoshibi}} and {{Nihongo||太陽のほほえみ|Taiyō no hohoemi}}, she was congratulated by [[Pope John Paul II]] with two awards in 1996.<ref name="baptism"/>
