The Japanese internet has exploded in the past 24 hours with the potentially sensational leak of an alleged sex tape featuring model and actress Tina Tamashiro.
Tamashiro is a half-Japanese, half-American model born in Okinawa. Known for her striking short bobs, the 28-year-old first emerged in the early 2010s and she cemented her fame by securing a position as a cover model for the popular fashion magazine Vivi from 2012 to 2019. She has released several photo books and has some high-profile acting credits to her name, such as the Netflix series Alice in Borderland.
We're not sure of the ...
Japan has been rocked by an incident in Okinawa where a 20-year-old member of the US Marine Corps has been arrested for the murder of a 39-year-old local woman in a love hotel.
The body of Anna Yagi (屋宜杏奈) was discovered strangled to death in a hotel in Naha, where she lived. Lance Corporal Devin Jacob Ballard is alleged to have killed Yagi in the early hours of October 3, and stolen her wallet and backpack, and then fled the hotel before he was arrested on October 4.
The murder has sparked outrage in Japan, especially in Okinawa, which hosts the vast majority of US bases in Japan ...
Regular readers will know that Tokyo Kinky loves a jukujo. And this isn't because the team behind this humble blog is getting older (which is certainly true). We always loved a mature woman back when we were in our salad days.
To be frank, the ranks of gravure are busy and crowded, and we had forgotten all about Ayana Sogawa, to our shame, but we instantly recognized her when we saw pictures of the 37-year-old actress and model. And then said a quick thanks to the gods of Shinto for bringing her back into our humble lives.
She has just done what she thinks is her first gravure shoot in six ...
The emerging biracial gravure idol Tina Kitsune has already massively boosted her fame and profile since the start of the autumn.
Now she has resorted to a tried-and-tested tactic of bringing in a friend to give her helping hand. In this case, it's more than a friend: it's her sister.
Tina appears with her sister Kaia on the cover of a new issue of Young King, shot by veteran gravure cameraman Munetaka Tokuyama. The shoot is also available as a new digital photo book, because you can't have too much of a good thing.
Like Tina, Kaia Kitsune is a half-Australian, half-Japanese model and ...
The online edition of Weekly Friday has published a fascinating interview with a Japanese sex worker with an enterprising streak.
Anri Saito (a pseudonym) is apparently a 36-year-old resident of Osaka who works as a freelance sex worker, meaning she isn't affiliated with any specific outcall agency or brothel.
Instead of being on a particular establishment's roster, she filed the necessary business registration, rented an office, and hired a driver all by herself. Now that's what we call the famously mercantile Osaka spirit.
She handles everything from attracting clients and managing ...
The actress and former gravure idol Mitsu Dan was a huge part of our lives in the first half of the 2010s, when she was appearing in lots of roles in erotic movies and doing some very high-profile nude shoots.
Now aged 45 (and still a very classy lady) and married, Dan recently appeared on the YouTube channel ReHacQ and revealed some interesting details about her past career.
On the September 28 episode, she shared how much she actually earned for her first fully nude photo shoot.
It was just ¥330,000 -- about a month's salary at a regular job at the time.
Of course, the actual fee ...
We have previously introduced examples of Japanese photography shared by fintan (Pinakotheca) from his incredible collection of Japanese subculture and erotica, which he scans and puts online, and typically offers the original publications for sale.
One that recently caught our eye is more contemporary (fintan seems to prefer Showa-era content) but also, to be frank, more extreme than his usual picks.
He has showcased the extraordinary body modification photography of Ryoichi Maeda.
As fintan writes:
Ryoichi Maeda is the premier photojournalist on the Japanese body modification scene, ...
In an interview with the Bunshun Online, Japanese adult video star Minamo has described her childhood as a lonely time spent as an outsider who "had no friends."
Ahead of her retirement from porn in December, the ravishingly beautiful star says everything changed when she entered high school. She underwent a dramatic transformation and people began to compare her to actress Kasumi Arimura (even though Minamo is now famously a dead ringer for actress Mitsuki Takahata) and became immensely popular with the boys. Although she finally achieved her dream of joining the cool crowd, Minamo says ...
Hinatazaka46 member Miku Kanemura has released some preview images of her upcoming second photo book and netizens and fans are going wild over a particular shot of her in alluring black lingerie.
Dressed in an elegant teddy or bodysuit, Miku's bust is really emphasized, transforming her ordinarily slender-looking figure into something far more sensual and voluptuous. This is Miku as femme fatale.
But most eye-catching of all, the crotch area suggests that she has very carefully groomed or even gone fully hairless (paipan) downstairs. This speculation is all a bit tasteless and crude, of ...
Kaoru Oshima made a huge splash when he debuted in the adult film industry in 2014 as the first otokonoko (male-to-female crossdressing) adult film star. He (we are assuming Oshima goes by "he") retired from the porn industry at age 25 the following year and has since expanded his career as a TV personality and writer, similar to the likes of Minamo, who recently debuted as a novelist ahead of her retirement from JAV.
Having entered the industry via gay adult videos as a biological male, why did Oshima shift his focus to mainstream adult films as a femboy performer? Oshima sat for an ...
