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 ...
A reader recently chided us for not writing about the Yumi Sugimoto's return to gravure (though we did post pics on tumblr). The truth is, even with "gravure comebacks," there are simply too many idols to keep track of, let alone write about in detail on these digital pages.
But here's one comeback that is certainly worthy of note.
Yuka Hirata (38) made a very welcome return to our lives with her first Weekly Playboy gravure shoot in 14 years, first published in the March 19 issue of the magazine.
Now on the cusp of 40 and steeped in jukujo territory like a finely aged wine, the former ...
It's always a sad day when we spot news that our favorite gravure idols have got hitched.
Back in 2015 Yumi Sugimoto produced probably her sexiest and most naked photo book ever. "Chiamata" showed off quite a bit of flesh, even if it wasn't quite full-frontal stuff.
Well, enjoy those images for all they are worth, folks. That photo book may well be her last, assuming the common pattern repeats here. Sugimoto has now gotten married to a man four years her junior after around a year of dating, it emerged at the end of December. Typically gravure idols stop working as ...
We love Yumi Sugimoto.
The slinky idol is one of the top Gravure models in Japan.
And the 26-year-old has finally answered our wishes and stripped off for her new photo-book "Chiamata", some highlights of which were recently published in FRIDAY and Shukan Playboy magazines.
Okay, let's not get too excited. This isn't true hair nude territory or even nude in the same way that Ayaka Sayama stripped off recently.
But it's by far the most explicit shoot Yumi Sugimoto has done. And it REALLY got us ...
Boys, time to despair. The pages of your tabloids won't be filled with images of sexy Gravure model Yumi Sugimoto for a while.
The top sexpot has come down with acute pyelonephritis, meaning she has to take a few weeks off work and recover.
Recently Yumi has been working more in the mainstream, including a role in a musical till earlier this month and even a supporting part in a NHK period drama in 2012. She also appears in the tokusatsu TV show, Engine Sentai Go-onger.
Get well soon, ...
What better way to enjoy the World Cup, support the Japan team, and celebrate their first game victory...than with two hot babes!
Yes, Natsuki Ikeda and Yumi Sugimoto are giving their all for the boys in South Africa -- and we are so glad they are, too!
Good luck in Saturday's match against Holland, ...
