Eri Ishida

is a Japanese actress. She portrayed Emi Jono in Ultraman 80.
==Career==
After graduating from high school in 1979, she became a regular cast member in the youth TV drama Experience Era, set in Yokohama. In Ultraman 80, she played the role of Emi Jono, a member of UGM, who was written out of the series in episode 43 by being killed off.https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/09f571af61daff3cc4bb21bba91a698c88b1c5b1?page=2 This decision was influenced by Ishida’s belief in the superstition that actors who appear until the end of the Ultraman series will not succeed. Concerned by this, she requested to be written out. Her request was quickly approved, and a special episode featuring Emi’s death was produced in a short time. She was quite surprised by the favorable treatment.
She thought that by leaving the show, she would avoid being labeled as one of the actors who appeared until the end of the Ultraman series, thus avoiding the superstition. Consequently, she was more than happy to accept invitations to appear in future Ultraman series.http://blog.livedoor.jp/mdgw7/archives/42931065.html
