Kawashima Yoshiko (1906-October 22 1947) (川岛芳子) was a Manchu princess brought up as a Japanese and executed as a Japanese spy by Kuomintang. Her original Manchu name was Aisingoro Xianwangyu (爱新觉罗·显王于) and her Chinese name was Jin Bihui (金壁辉).
She was born as the 14th child to Shanqi, the 10th of hereditary Prince Su (肃亲王) of the Manchu imperial family. She has been targeted for sensational rumors, so it is difficult to clarify the truth. Her story was featured in the movie The Last Emperor, where she appeared as "Eastern Jewel", played by Maggie Han.
Trivia: an eight-year-old Yoshiko Kawashima makes a cameo appearance in the PlayStation 2 game Shadow Hearts: Covenant.
