Yaeko Mizutani I (1 August 1905 – 1 October 1979) (水谷八重子 in Japanese, or しょだい みずたに やえこ in kana) was "grande dame of the Japanese stage" and in film from the 1920s through the 1970s. Mizutani's daughter is also an actress called Yaeko Mizutani, so the elder Mizutani is sometimes referred to with an "I" after her name.
