Natsue is the former president of Hihaku Soaps, a large chemicals company. Though she retired from her position two years ago, she still wields great influence over the company from her position of chairwoman.

Prior to the war, Natsue enjoyed working her dream job at a textile factory. She was forced to face the bitter reality of the world, however, when the factory was destroyed by a fire during the war, and she was ordered to rework the fabrics she had painstakingly crafter into something more suitable for blue collar work.
Witnessing the rise in popularity of Western-style clothing in the postwar period, Natsue left the textile industry. However, a nod to her past can be seen in her company's name, with "hihaku" being another name for kasuri, a type of fabric featuring patterns and images woven with dyed fibers.
Having long been dissatisfied with the soap supplied at the textile factory, Natsue saw a business opportunity and set up her own small soap factory. Taking inspiration from imported soap brands, she developed new products which quickly gained a good reputation. Ever the shrewd businesswoman, Nature ran an aggressive promotional campaign on TV featuring a popular Japanese singer, rapidly turning Hihaku Soaps into a household name.
