Yoshimoto keeps her personal life guarded and reveals little about her certified rolfing practitioner husband, Hiroyoshi Tahata, or son (born in 2003). While there, she adopted the pseudonym "Banana", after her love of banana flowers, a name she recognizes as both "cute" and "purposefully androgynous." Yoshimoto graduated from Nihon University's College of Art with a major in literature. Her father was the poet and critic Takaaki Yoshimoto, and her sister, Haruno Yoiko, is a well-known cartoonist in Japan. Yoshimoto was born in Tokyo on July 24, 1964, and grew up in a liberal family. From 2002 to 2015, she wrote her name in hiragana ( よしもと ばなな). Banana Yoshimoto ( 吉本 ばなな, Yoshimoto Banana, born 24 July 1964 ) is the pen name of Japanese writer Mahoko Yoshimoto ( 吉本 真秀子, Yoshimoto Mahoko).
