The leading Japanese porn star Yura Kano has announced she will retire in July to focus on non-AV work like her regular acting roles.
The 25-year-old star made her debut as a nude model at the age of 18 and in the adult video industry in November 2017 with a release from S1 No.1 Style.
Over the course of her seven-year AV career, she has released dozens of productions and risen to the top ranks of a highly competitive industry.
She has also published numerous print and digital photo books.
In addition, she release a pocket pussy toy based on her vagina, the Japanese Real Hole Yura ...

We wrote earlier in the year about the K-XF Adult Festival, planned to take place in April in Suwon, South Korea.
Along with introducing the event -- in essence, a showcase of Japanese porn stars -- we also touched on the opposition it had ignited in the country from civic groups, where religious sentiment is stronger than Japan and porn is prohibited. As later became apparent, that was only the start of the event's troubles.
The organizer faced an uphill struggle. Because it was an adult-only event, customers had to show ID both to purchase tickets and enter the venue.
Controversy then ...
The 25th edition of Japan's largest fetish event, FetiFes, took place on April 28. Certain household responsibilities prevented the Tokyo Kinky team from attending, so we were pleased to find the festival had generously published a huge gallery of pictures from the event (available on the festival website along with galleries from past editions).
All the images are taken by officially approved photographers (who are are credited on the gallery page images if you want to know who they are).
Unfortunately, they are just a gallery, without captions, so it is hard for us to provide much ...
A US Marine corporal has been arrested for filming a female sex worker in Naha, Okinawa.
The 22-year-old was arrested at the scene on May 4 for breaching a little-known law against filming sexual acts.
The Marine is attached to Camp Kinser (Machinato Service Area) in Urasoe on the main island of Okinawa. He told police, "I didn't know it was illegal [to film]." And if we're honest, that's fair enough. While a customer likely knows it's almost always against the brothel's rules and liable to land you in trouble, it might surprise many that you can actually face arrest for filming your ...
The path to becoming a celebrity is different in the social media age, with many becoming influencers and so on first on other platforms before transitioning into modeling, TV shows, acting, singing, and so on.
This trend has affected the Japanese adult video industry too, with TikTokers like Okogetan, Ichika-sensei, and Unpai all making the move into porn after building a following on their channel.
We haven't seen so many splashy gravure debuts in this regard, but it could be that such TikTokers or Instagrammers regularly appear in the weeklies but on a one-off basis on an obscure page, ...
Former race queen and gravure idol Chisato Morishita is committed to launching a career as a politician for the conservative Liberal Democratic Party.
As reported here before, she stood for election in Miyagi Prefecture in 2021. Though ultimately unsuccessful, she is still hoping to win a seat at the next election. By chance, we actually passed through the area earlier this year and saw lots of posters for her dotting the landscape.
Now aged 42, the unmarried Morishita was one of the biggest gradols in the late 2000s and a regular face on TV. Her last gravure shoot was in around 2019 with ...
When confronted with a scandal, most Japanese politicians rely on a stock phrase: "I don't recall that."
And so it it was refreshing to see that Hiroyuki Miyazawa, the 49-year-old House of Representatives lawmaker, came clean and stated plainly: "I remember that."
A member of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, Miyazawa recently resigned his seat when Weekly Bunshun reported on his penchant for papakatsu sugar daddy compensated dating and regular use of sex workers.
He is also supposed to have been practically living with a woman in her twenties during the pandemic, despite being ...
Actress and model Ayame Misaki (水崎綾女) has been part of our lives since the early 2010s (this was when her career began to really pick up but we were slow to catch on -- she actually made her gravure debut way back in 2005).
Now 35 years old, she gets better and better with age.
As she has got older, she has gotten more beautiful and more athletic. Her sun-kissed body is now very voluptuous and muscular, with a finely shaped butt and waist that looks like she's ready to take charge of things in the bedroom.
Her latest photo book is glossy eyes, which came out from Kodansha a few ...
The gyaru with her tanned skin, heavy makeup, pronounced eyelashes, fake nails, and (frequently) dyed and wavy hair is a mainstay of Japanese fashion, with particular magazines and shops catering toward the style.
If you can't get to Shibuya's 109 to see gyaru in person, the next best thing are photos. And is this the hottest lineup of gyaru talent in Japanese fashion today?
Weekly Young Magazine has a stunning photo shoot in its April 22 issue. Titled "Bohemian GALsody," the shoot features five gorgeous gyaru models: Kimi, AiRi, Maami, Aimero, and Ruru Tanaka.
This slinky ladies are ...
