Kiko Mizuhara has rarely shied away from publicity and provocation. From her nude shoots to outspoken views, she is as much a social icon as a fashion one.
Her private life has been complex, involving relationships with high-profile men like K-pop singer G-Dragon and the actor Shuhei Nomura.
She recently added very, very explicit sex scenes to her roster of achievements.
As we recently showcased, the new Netflix film Ride or Die features both nude straight and lesbian scenes. The latter were shot with co-star Honami Sato. As the director said, "One of the reasons this work was not adapted ...
Kiko Mizuhara’s amazing nude lesbian sex scenes in Netflix movie Ride or Die
April 16, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Netflix continues to invest in ambitious and provocative Japanese dramas and take content risks no mainstream broadcaster in the country would dare.
After its wild success with the suitably nude bonanza that was The Naked Director, now comes the lesbian road movie Ride or Die, starring Kiko Mizuhara and Honami Sato, and released by Netflix on April 15. Its nude scenes are probably the most anticipated in Japan so far this year.
There is some impressive girl-on-girl action in the movie, where you get to see quite a lot of Kiko's and Honami's naked breasts and backs as they explore each ...

Never one to shy away from controversy and stoking social media, the model and actress Kiko Mizuhara has revealed a recent episode from her glamorous, globetrotting life in which she was mistaken for a porn star in Paris.
According to her tweet, she was riding in an Uber in Paris when the driver asked her what job she does. When she replied she was an actress, the driver bluntly asked whether or not it was porn.
She wanted to vent and share the incident to highlight how disgusted she felt by the man.
Others have pointed out the high reputation that Japanese porn has overseas, which might ...

The model and actress Kiko Mizuhara has posed for an alluring cover shoot for the latest issue of German magazine 032c, an English-language, biannual contemporary culture magazine based in Berlin.
The shoot saw her wear nothing but a jacket and gloves while sitting on a stool with a hand covering her nether regions. Her legs were open wide, inviting the viewer to imagine what he or she can't quite see.
Far from being shy about her latest antics, Kiko-chan posted the cover shot on Instagram.
Party girl Mizuhara is no stranger to nude and provocative shoots, or to sharing these ...
The title says it all: Kiko Mizuhara shows off her naked butt. This recent stunner of an image was shared on her Instagram feed with her 4.8 million followers and instantly caused digital ripples...
The exotically Asian-looking Japanese model of mixed Korean and American heritage has shown us all how to deal with online abuse. Despite suffering a bashing by racist trolls of late, Kiko knows that she always has the upper hand when it comes to glamor (not to mention party girl antics like impromptu pole dances).
Her model-esque looks are paired with a very slender body that hardly ...

Japan's favorite It Girl, Kiko Mizuhara, has teamed up with photographer Nobuyoshi Araki again for a series of shibari rope bondage-inspired photos.
Ostensibly the shoot is advertising the fall/winter 2016 collection of the fashion brand Supreme, but who cares about such details when Kiko is tied up and waiting for someone to whip her?
Araki and Mizuhara previously (and memorably) partnered for a nude photo shoot for Shiseido back in 2013.
There's also this promo behind-the-scenes video too, showing Kiko-chan roll over and reveal her panties. The aging Araki gets rather ...
Eimi Kuroda, a haafu beauty in all her naked glory

Behold the beauty of Eimi Kuroda.
Born in 1988, the haafu model has a Japanese father and English mother.
She is good friends with fellow fashion model and haafu Kiko Mizuhara. They are both Tokyo party girls and like to get up to high jinks, such as impromptu pole dancing.
Back in 2010, when she was still 22 and one would think careful about her future career, she jumped ahead and joined the hair nude club by posing for an entry in the Shincho Mook series of Gekkan photo-books. A series of alluring shots by Hajime Sawatari showed off her body -- all of it.
The choice ...
Which women do Japanese men most want to date?
March 18, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
No, it's not AV idols or even Gravure idols. Nor is it exotic or glamorous fashion models.
It's very mainstream actresses with charming personalities.
Almost all the ladies have "cute" girl-next-door faces rather than sensual, "beautiful" looks.
The number one lady that Japanese men said they most wanted to date was... Haruka Ayase, who also came out top of last year's survey. Local guys like ditzy girls, it seems.
Second was Satomi Ishihara, up from fourth place. It might be all those Aeon English school ads she has been doing. A girl who can speak English (albeit with a ...
Imagine you are out for a night of fun at a Tokyo strip club. Your eyes are naturally scanning the unbelievably hot girls on the stage.
Then you catch sight of two ladies in the audience who look familiar. Hey, aren't they famous models? When a friend or companion assures you they are, you can then hardly believe your eyes when the following happens. She climbs onto a stage and start to do a pole dance.
That's what happened one night an established strip club, where the models Kiko Mizuhara (22) and Eimi Kuroda (25) were in the audience. But things took a turn for the unexpected when ...
Kiko Mizuhara goes nude for Shiseido Nobuyoshi Araki ad
March 7, 2013
/ Tadashi Anahori
Sexy half-Korean, half-American haafu model and actress Kiko Mizuhara has posed for Shiseido and the results are, as expected, a touch provocative.
The shot is a "te-bura" (hand bra) shot that recalls a certain AKB48 controversy of late.
While Kiko does not have much bust to speak of -- but we have long promoted the charms of flat-chested girls -- she does look rather lovely nonetheless.
The photo was taken by Araki, the photographer famed for basically being a dirty old guy and taken lots of images of naked girls.
This is a behind-the-scenes shot. Unfortunately we don't ...
