A couple of weeks ahead of Chicago Fire Season 10’s finale “The Magnificent City of Chicago” episode (airing on 25 May 2022), here is everything you need to know about its star Hanako Greensmith‘s parents.

Hanako plays paramedic Violet Mikami of Ambulance 61 and is known for her inappropriate relationship with her boss, Chief Evan Hawkins (actor Jimmy Nicholas). Back in June 2021, NBC had announced that Hanako’s recurring role had been upped to series regular.

Now, read through this writing based on real-life, about mostly her parents.

Who Are Hanako Greensmith Parents?

Actor, singer, cellist, and writer Hanako Greensmith is the daughter of two classical musicians.

Both Hanako’s dad (Clive Greensmith) and mum (Chizuko Ishikawa) are renowned cellists. A couple of years back the world notably saw them at the program presented by Silpakorn University’s Faculty of Music and the Fund for Classical Music Promotion under the Patronage of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhan. Together, they and the rest of the Pro Musica Ensemble performed two masterpieces by two great German composers during “The Two Bs”. Hanako’s mum, at the time, was a member of this pro musical ensemble. As for her dad, it was the first time he was joining the group on cello.

Lately, in April (2022), the family grieved the loss of their dog Nino Greensmith who was with them since 2007. And years back in time, on 19 May 2018, Hanako was more than ever, aware of just how precious time and memories are, as he could not see off her beloved grandpa, Hisashi Ishikawa.

She has worked with a wide range of orchestras and ensembles such as the English Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Classical Players, the New London Consort, and the King’s Consort.

Chizuko Ishikawa did not seem to be on Instagram as of May 2022. But, she seemed to be sharing glimpses of her life from time to time on ‘Chizuko Ishikawa’ Facebook.

Hanako acquires a mixed ethnicity, of Japanese and English for her parents; the Japanese heritage, she got from her mum Chizuko Ishikawa who is from Tokyo, Japan. It is said the matriarch left the country at a young age.
