Natsukawa was born in Tokyo and first appeared on stage at age seven. She joined the Nikkatsu studio in 1927 and came to fame through such films as Kantsubaki and Kenji Mizoguchi's Tokyo March. She married the song composer Nobuo Iida and retired from acting for a while, but returned to the screen with Shiro Toyoda's Kojima no haru.
