Back in May, we reported on the shocking arrest of the incredibly popular Japanese OnlyFans adult creator Naomiii.
The performer was likely a victim of her own success, which got her noticed by authorities and who found a way to nab her on obscenity charges.
The 32-year-old adored by millions for her sensually curvy body and perfectly shaped labia was arrested with Nobutoshi Kiri, who helped make her videos and upload them.
The "amateur" porn (shot in 4K) the pair made was actually very high quality but the uncensored content was what attracted police attention.
Most people reacted with ...
Our last post was about the successful, high-profile porn star Ai Hongo's unfortunate sex scandal that has forced her suspend her career.
While we will miss the slinky Ai Hongo, the truth is that there are lots of fine ladies out there vying to take her place in the Japanese adult video industry.
New performers make their debuts every week.
One who has caught our eye this month is Ito Asahi (朝陽いと), a busty former music idol who has made the switch to porn with her first release on Moodyz.
Her debut (MIFD00518), a 118-minute release, came out on September 13.
It makes a lot of ...
The Japanese adult video industry loves to parody other cultural productions or topical events, as we have covered numerous times here.
Past examples include pastiches of Demon Slayer, Joker, and Ultraman.
These do go too far sometimes. One parody porn inspired by the DJ groping incident was ultimately not released, perhaps for fear of legal reprisals from the Korean celebrity's side. A porn based on a women's support group (and anti-feminist sentiment toward it by male netizens) was likewise very controversial last October.
The parody of the Maho Yamaguchi assault incident also had a ...
Who do porn stars like to date? And does intimacy with their romantic partners feel special or, as the British say, like taking a busman's holiday?
These are the kinds of questions that addle us to Tokyo Kinky.
We have seen ample evidence that Japanese porn stars like to date comedians and pop stars.
Shunka Ayami is apparently dating a singer, while Yua Mikami is or was allegedly dating two singers at once (well, it's hardly the first time that she's had more than one sexual partner at the same time).
AV stars to fall for comedians include Suzume Mino, Makoto Yuuki, and Runa ...
The former Japanese porn star Minami Aizawa has announced that she is to go on hiatus and fully retire her old performer name.
Aizawa worked in AV from 2016 to 2023, and has continued to use her name since retiring.
However, in social media posts on August 25 to her hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and X, the 28-year-old announced in English and Japanese that she would stop using the name Minami Aizawa because she was fed up with the limitations of being always introduced as a "former porn star."
It makes her feel like she is, in her words, "clinging to past glories" and ...
When a relatively obscure female news anchor made the mistake of tweeting last week about the need for guys to shower and look after their personal hygiene in the summer months, she was dropped by her agency and ignited a small storm of media attention that continued to unfold for days.
Her perfectly rational suggestion that men wash and take measures not to smell was met with outrage by male netizens, who accused her of discrimination. Others have leapt to her defense, especially after her agency fired her.
It's hardly the first time that public figures have made such comments about fans ...
Karen Ishida (石田佳蓮) is to make her porn debut next month. The former Idoling!!! member will release her first adult video on Muteki, which specializes in debuts by crossover talent, on September 3.
Idoling!!! was a Japanese TV show and female music idol group active from the mid-2000s to 2015. Ishida was a member of the "fifth generation" of members from 2012. Past members include Nao Asahi, Yurika Tachibana, Erika Tonooka, Rurika Yokoyama, Ami Kikuchi, Ai Okawa, Rena Sato, Suzuka Morita, and the long-tongued Michaela Wako Sato. Many have enjoyed careers in gravure.
The ...
In the crowded world of JAV, where newbies arrive every month and vast mountains of releases are populated by unnamed "amateur" performers paid a relative pittance, it takes something for a woman to achieve real staying staying power and stardom.
Moe Amatsuka is one such performer and so her many fans were dismayed to hear of her imminent retirement.
On July 28 on a live YouTube broadcast, Moe Amatsuka announced that she would be leaving the industry. Sometimes this is disingenuous, because the performer reappears attached to a different agency and working under a different name.
But ...
Formerly known as Satomi Kaneko, the name under which she performed in music group AKB48 and worked as a gravure and nude idol, Kiho Kanematsu's porn debut this spring was one of the most highly anticipated and hyped of the year so far.
After making her adult video debut on the specialist crossover label Muteki back in April, the excitement continued as she transferred to S1 No. 1 Style and generously went back on the (always dubious) promise that her debut would be a one-off.
Let's be honest, the logic of the market dictates that if the sales were good and demand strong, there were always ...
When Yua Mikami retired last summer at the age of 30 and after carving out one of the most successful careers in Japanese porn ever, speculation was rife over what she would do next.
For a start, she appeared to date two male celebrities at the same time.
She has since focused on developing a line of apparel under the brand name MISTREASS, as she had announced she would last year (and a long-term passion project for her). She models for the brand too.
Sadly, some things have not gone quite to plan.
Mikami announced on social media yesterday that she was going to take action against the ...
