Matsudaira was born in Tokyo in August 1944. She is the only child of Koto Matsudaira, who served as the first secretary in the Embassy of Japan in Washington, D.C. when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Her great-uncle, Saburō Kurusu, who was also working at the embassy, was interned with her father after the attack until they were repatriated to Japan. Her father helped negotiate a draft for the Treaty of San Francisco in 1951.
