A cameraman has been arrested for groping a gravure idol during a shoot.
The 61-year-old Nobuhiko Namai was arrested for touching the model on multiple occasions on a two-day shoot that he was handling for the production company where he works.
The alleged incident took place in October last year during a shoot in Chiba. It was not clear why it has taken so long for the incident to come to light or for police to act.
During the shoot, Namai is accused of touching the model's lower body without consent. He was in charge of filming for an image video they were shooting for release on DVD. ...
The former STU48 idol Yuka (sometimes Yuuka) Oki shows off her naked butt in her second photo book, which came out February 26 from Kadokawa.
Swimming Allowed is the latest release from this slinky idol and features her in sensual lingerie and several shots in a milky bath. The best shot of all features her on her front in the bath, with her cute little butt poking up through the water.
Another shot features the idol naked under a sheer dress.
We think this is the most 25-year-old Oki has ever shown in a gravure shoot.
To promote the book, she also appeared in a recent issue ...
The gravure idol Moka Hayashida announced last month that she was retiring from gravure at the end of February. After much speculation, the truth behind why the slinky 24-year-old is leaving the industry has now come out.
It brings to an end a five-year career that has encompassed numerous video releases and four print photo books, including one to come in March.
She is known for her long legs that she likes to show off in revealing swimwear.
So why is retiring this month? Yesterday, Hayashida shared more details with fans on her personal Instagram account and they sadly expose an ...
We love a good comeback story at Tokyo Kinky. Last week, we reported on Yumi Sugimoto's return to gravure in an issue of Weekly Playboy.
That same issue featured a number of Super Sentai alum and we are delighted to share the pics of Yui Koike, marking her first gravure shoot in about a decade.
Like with Sugimoto, 33-year-old Koike is releasing an accompanying digital photo book via Weekly Playboy.
The tokusatsu sci-fi series often hires gravure idols to play female roles. Koike prevously appeared in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
She still has those girl-next-door looks and a slinky ...
The actress Yumi Sugimoto is now 35 years old and first appeared in the Toei tokusatsu series Engine Sentai Go-onger, broadcast around 17 years old. From about that time, she established herself as a gravure idol too, despite not having the chops in terms of cup size.
She enjoyed a prolific gravure career throughout her twenties, perhaps peaking with her semi-nude photo book Chiamata in 2015.
This was followed two years later by her marriage to a younger man, which seemed to signal the end of her gravure output -- but she got divorced in 2019.
Sugimoto appears in the February 17 issue of ...
Celebrating the fortieth anniversary of top gravure magazine Weekly Friday, the Grademy Award was announced last autumn and votes collected online to find what was billed as Asia's top gradol.
Almost all of the 232 candidates were Japanese, though, so the "Asian" claim was slightly disingenuous. But quibbles aside, the public votes have been counted and the results -- and awards -- finally announced online earlier last week.
The top prize -- billed as Most Valuable Gradol -- went to leading gravure idol Ina Enohara.
Best Newcomer (also billed as Best Gradol Debut) was shared by ...
Here's some very good news for fans of gravure idol and actress Yuno Ohara, and we know that there are hundreds of thousands of them out there.
The 25-year-old gradol has just released her fourth photo book, which marks her fifteenth anniversary as an idol (she began her career as a dancer way back in 2009.
Titled √25 and published on February 7 by Shogakukan, it's her most nude release to date.
And what's really interesting is that the model teamed up with Okinawan actress Fumi Nikaido for the photo book.
The 30-year-old Nikaido is an established photographer in her own right, ...
Aging like a fine red wine, the former Japanese TV announcer Mariko Seyama has proven year by year that older is not only better, but more provocative.
The mature gravure star has continued to strip even as she reached her forties. Indeed, it wasn't until she arrived at that milestone that she showed us her naked breasts, after years of semi-nude shoots.
Seyama is a former announcer for NTV who moved into gravure in 2012. The Tokyo native is a graduate from Keio University, one of the most prestigious colleges in Japan. She is also divorced, having been married from 2009 to 2015. Her ...
An Anzu is advertised as a former gravure idol who has made the switch to adult video.
These cases are actually quite common and sometimes it's just marketing guff, or -- as recently with Kanna Seno -- the initial gravure "career" was already planned as a publicity boost for the AV career.
An Anzu does seem to have worked in gravure, but either under another name or without much success. We could find some info on her first image DVD, released last July, but not much else.
Boasting I-cup breasts, it's not difficult to see why 20-year-old An Anzu would appeal to porn producers.
Her ...
When you're languishing behind bars, there's probably a lot of things you miss from your life on the outside. Nice good and booze, for a start. Sex and intimacy too.
No doubt you'd find yourself thinking a lot about hot girls. Without a phone or access to the internet, you're probably starved of stimulation in this regard, but perhaps the occasional magazine or newspaper might provide glimpses of attractive models to give your fantasies food for thought.
And how about a letter from a gravure idol?
Chihiro Midorikawa is a 31-year-old gradol who won the Miss Tokyo Sports Grand Prize in ...
