Hisako, Princess Takamado (憲仁親王妃久子 Norihito Shinnōhi Hisako?), born Hisako Tottori (鳥取久子 Tottori Hisako?) on 10 July 1953, is a member of the Japanese Imperial Family as the widow of Norihito, Prince Takamado.
She is the eldest daughter of Japanese industrialist Shigejiro Tottori. Hisako accompanied her father to England, where he was transferred for work, and while still a child became fluent in the English language. She subsequently graduated from Girton College, Cambridge University in the UK in 1975 with undergraduate degrees in anthropology and archaeology. On her return to Japan, she obtained a position working for a translation company, but soon returned to England to learn about legal terminology used in statutes. She returned to Japan again in 1982. After her return, she was hired to assist Prince Mikasa as an interpreter and assistant at the 31st International Asian-North African Cultural Symposium. Princess Takamado received a PhD in arts from the Osaka University of Arts in February 2012.
