Ichihara was born in Chiba, Chiba Prefecture in Japan. The first movie she was in was Rikō na oyomesan.[3] After she won an award at the 1959 Geijutsusai because of acting in Chidori, she became the star of Haiyuza. She left the group in 1971.[3] In 1990, she won the Japan Academy Prize for being the "best supporting actress". This is because of her acting in Black Rain.[4][2] Her husband was Satoshi Shiomi, who was a movie director. Shiomi died in 2014.[5]
Ichihara was hospitalised in early December 2018. This was because she had issues with her cecum. She got better and appeared on a Japanese talk show on 21 December 2018.
