Early Life

Marie Kondo was born on October 9, 1984 in Osaka, Japan. She has an older brother and a younger sister. As a youth, Kondo attended the Chūō Ward Hisamatsu Elementary School, and then Friends Girls Junior & Senior High School in Mita. At the latter, she would run into the classroom to tidy up bookshelves while her classmates were busy in physical education class.

Kondo said she had a breakthrough one day while organizing her school's bookshelves; after fainting and lying unconscious for two hours, she realized her tidying strategy should be focused more on keeping things than throwing them away. She went on to attend Tokyo Woman's Christian University, where her capstone thesis addressed tidying up through the lens of gender.
