Erika Minatogawa is riding the wave of scandal over her arrest on a drug charge earlier this year to launch a gravure career.
The so-called 32-year-old "Minato girl" and former race queen (grid girl), whose real name is Miho Okumoto, appears in the September 2 issue of Flash and has also released a digital photo book.
The eight-page semi-nude shoot features the alluring model with an H cup playing up to her self-professed femme fatale and party girl image.
Here are some sizzling highlights from the shoot.
Back in May, the tabloids were filled with salacious reports about ...
Ria Shinba works at the soapland New Tiara in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki Prefecture. She is the main attraction of the soapland and has previously worked as a child actor and porn star.
In a recent two-part interview with Shueisha Online last month, the 23-year-old explained about her background, and how she came to the profession. We've translated some of the highlights.
Shinba was born in Tokyo's Suginami ward to a Japanese father and Filipino mother. When her mother became pregnant with her, their marriage became strained, and since she already had an older sister, her father told her mother ...
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who will watch the watchmen?
It's a rare Tokyo Kinky article that begins with a Latin quotation, but sometimes the story justifies such a flourish. And this one is almost stranger than fiction.
Superintendent Koji Tsujimoto has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting an underage girl. He was a leading figure in Osaka police's "eliminate sugar daddy crime" squad, but it turns that he was himself engaged in sugar daddying (papakatsu) with the girl.
The 53-year-old, who was part of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters Public Safety Special ...
Some female celebrities are vampires. They must be, otherwise how else do the likes of Ayaka Haruse, Kyoko Fukada, and Asami Kumakiri seem never to age even as they enter their forties?
One of Japan's top jukujo hotties is Sayaka Isoyama, known for her curvy charms and simple personality.
Though her gravure peak is long behind her and she makes her living primarily now as a TV celebrity and actress, the 41-year-old is releasing a new photo book in October to mark 25 years of working in the entertainment industry. It was shot in location in Cairns, Australia.
As a promotion, she appears ...
The mainstreaming of Tenga, Japan's most famous and design-savvy adult brand, continues now with the opening of an official store in Zozotown, one of Japan's biggest online shopping platforms, from September 3.
It will sell around 150 types of original Tenga apparel and other items normally available exclusively at Tenga Land (the brand's flagship store inside Tokyu Plaza Harajuku) and Tenga Store Tokyo. Until now, these have never been available online. It will also offer its intimate body care, sexual wellness, and massage items.
To mark the opening, Tenga is also selling some ...
The implications for generative AI and porn are manifold, from fully AI-created adult videos to photo books and other content featuring AI "idols" and models.
While the government is keen to use artificial intelligence to boost Japan's declining marriage rate, the police have already started cracking down on using AI to make "obscene" content.
What about the private sector? There's a lot of money to be made from AI and companies are developing services to sell to us, including romantic ones.
As long heralded by science fiction (Black Mirror, Her, Blade Runner 2049, inter alia), we may well ...
The former NHK announcer Anna Nakagawa has made her gravure debut with a splashy cover shoot for Weekly Playboy.
The 31-year-old quit the public broadcaster in March and has been attached to major talent agency Horipro since April. She clearly hopes to take her career in a whole new direction.
This is her first gravure shoot, done on location in Odawara and at a studio in Tokyo. Weekly Playboy also released a 100-page digital photo book to accompany the issue, which went on sale on Monday.
Though the shoot is relatively conservative by gravure standards, Nakagawa is clearly ...

Not all heroes wear capes and not all gravure idols enter the industry through the usual agency and competition route.
And while we are used to certain other celebrities moonlighting in gravure, especially music idols, but also wrestlers, actresses, fashion models, and sports athletes, it is relatively rare for a figure skater to dabble.
But Marin Honda is a rare thing indeed, as her gravure debut impressively demonstrates.
The 24-year-old showed off her slinky, toned body and cute girl-next-door beauty in a great series of pics that would make many music idols green with envy.
Her ...
Kanna Seto burst onto the Japanese adult video scene late last year and quickly made a huge impression with her girl-next-door face, pale skin, slim body, and huge breasts. It is a formidable combination and her debut attracted some of the biggest online attention we have seen in a long while.
Seto's career has gone from strength to strength, releasing 12 titles since then from S1 No. One Style and building a following both in Japan and in other parts of Asia.
The 21-year-old's first photo book came out from Shogakukan in January and she has at least three more AV titles scheduled ...
