She became famous for her radiant beauty, and for chopping off one of her fingers for her lover.

==Childhood in Osaka==
Chishō was born in 1896 in Nara Prefecture, but her birth notification was registered at Osaka city hall by her parents. Her father was an alcoholic who worked as a blacksmith. When Chishō was two years old, her mother, Oda Tsuru, died. However, there is another theory that Tsuru ran away from home. She was brought up lovingly by her grandmother, and when she was seven years old, she worked in her aunt's tea parlor as a waitress. At 12 years old, her father lied to her and sold her into slavery, sending her to Oume Tsujii, courtesan of Onoe Kikugorō V.〔(『 女、女、女』 小野賢一郎著 (興成館, 1915) )(written in Japanese)〕 At 14 years old, upon being given 250 yen employment preparation money, she became the adopted daughter of Kagaya (Kashi zashiki),〔Rental room for Meeting.〕 and debuted with the stage name Chiyoha. Her unusual beauty helped her gain popularity, and her mizuage was bought by a chairperson of an Ōsaka stock exchange transaction.
At 15 years old, she became emotionally involved with Otomine, a famous playboy and upscale clothes dealer, who lived in Higashi-ward (Kita hisahōchō). Chishō eloped with him to Beppu Onsen. When Otomine discovered she had a picture of a kabuki actor in her hand mirror, he became jealous and broke up with her. To convey her faithfulness to Otomine, she cut off her pinky with a razor and brought it to him. It was also said that, when he was trying to cure his arthritis at the Beppu spa, she came over and proposed love suicide to him, but he refused it. Then she gave her own finger for the purpose of appealing for his love.〔
