Until the 1950s, billiards were male-dominated, and Willie Hoppe was its undisputed king. Only then he got an unprecedented opponent who conquered the game as the first-ever female player. She was Masako Katsura, the legendary Japanese carom billiards player.
Nicknamed ‘Katsy,’ Katsura was not only the first international billiards player but a winner of many titles. Creating her identity in the world of a game played only by men, she became an inspiration for many. The true genius was named the ‘First Lady of Billiards.’
