We love a good comeback story at Tokyo Kinky. Just a few days ago, we posted ravishing images of Rina Koike's first photo book in eight years and which marks the veteran idol's 30th birthday.
Today, it's the turn of Rei Toda, who has made a gravure comeback with a sensual shoot for the June 17 issue of Weekly Playboy and an accompanying digital photo book.
Now aged 37, Rei Toda is in the heartland of jukujo territory, but hasn't let herself go at all. She still has a slender and alluring body, and a knowing face. She's definitely seen some action over the years.
We love how hot she ...
Back in May, we reported on gravure veteran Rina Koike's photo book marking her 30th birthday and two decades in the industry.
Having begun her career as a child actor and junior idol, Rina Koike is someone who seems to have been around throughout all the many, many years we have done this blog.
Things had been quiet for her in recent years (so much so that we assumed she had retired) but she has switched agencies and her new photo book (and reaching that milestone) has led to a flurry of attention.
More preview pics from the her upcoming photo book, crave, have appeared in the gravure ...
The television announcer and model Kasumi Mori has become a high-class hostess.
Well, kinda. She pretended to be one to film a TV show.
Mori is riding high now from lots of media appearances and exposure as she tries to follow the likes of announcer-turned-actress Minami Tanaka and break out into the mainstream as a model and general celebrity.
The 28-year-old recently released her debut photo book that featured some pretty sexy shots and has been a minor hit, it seems.
In the show, which was broadcast on TV Asahi (and with the full version available on Abema), Mori wore an alluring ...
When DJ Soda released her first photo book in Japan earlier this year, anticipation was at fever pitch.
To get us in the mood for summer, she recently posted some behind-the-scenes pics from the aptly titled Candid, which came out in April from publisher Shueisha. It was shot by ND Chow in Tokyo and Okinawa over a week (and we assume it was still pretty chilly even in the south during the shoot).
With the muggy rainy season almost upon us here in Tokyo, we are ready for the summer -- and these jaw-dropping DJ Soda pics are definitely putting us in the right frame of mind for the hot ...
In Japan, female voice performers are incredibly popular as idols and celebrities despite only displaying their oral talents in their work for anime series and movies. Some are able to carve out lucrative sidelines as models, singers, and gravure idols.
If they have the looks and following for this, it is usually apparent pretty quickly and their agencies don't miss a chance to make some extra yen. But others bide their time.
Such is the case with Minori Chihara (茅原実里), the seiyu who has waited until her forties to cement her gravure career.
Great news if you love Minori Chihara. ...
Rina Koike has been part of our lives (and this blog) for so long, we almost forgot she was still doing gravure!
Having made her debut two decades ago as an actress -- she appeared in a Sailor Moon adaptation way back in 2004 -- and now reaching the ripe old age of 30, Koike will release her first photo book in eight years to celebrate the milestone.
It was shot in Vietnam and features shots of the doe-eyed model in the Southeast Asia country's famous outdoor markets. The best, most alluring shots, though, are indoors and more intimate, as these preview pics show.
The as-yet ...
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, ...
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 ...
Nogizaka46's Mizuki Yamashita has released a new photo book that is causing a stir.
Following the success of her first photo book that was semi-nude and featured the singer posing with a furry friend, the 24-year-old's latest photo book, Heroine came out on April 23 and has already set the interwebs alight with the alluring images it contains of Zukkie in white lingerie.
Unforgettable Person sold 100,000 in its first week alone and would go on to sell almost 200,000 copies. Can Heroine replicate those numbers? The thong and sheer bodysuit will surely help, along with the great shots of her ...
We love taking a trip not so much down memory lane as Japanese sex history lane, back to the early days of hair nudes (full-frontal shoots) and classic porn from the Showa era.
We previously took a nostalgic look at Japanese gravure idols from the 1970s and '80s that included the comely Nami Asada (麻田奈美).
Nami Asada made a real stir in the 1970s with her nude photo shoots that showcased her stunning F-cup breasts to the full.
The "apple nudes," where she used an apple prop to cover her most intimate parts, first appeared in 1973 in several issues of Heibon Punch magazine. They were ...
