Straight to Hell examines the untold life of one of modern Japan's most influential and controversial figures. Born in the aftermath of World War II, Hosoki grew up in poverty and entered the nightlife world at a young age. By her twenties, she was running a series of successful clubs in Ginza, earning the nickname "The Queen of Ginza." Drawing on the instincts she developed there, she later reinvented herself as a fortune-teller whose influence swept the nation. She rose to prominence through her self-created Six Star Astrology and became a household name through bestselling books and frequent television appearances. Revered by some and feared by others, she left behind a legacy that continues to provoke fascination and debate.
