Secret Sexpots of Japan: Naoko Watanabe
We love uncovering and sharing with the world the unsung heroines of Japanese ladies!
We often blog about sexy idols but there are plenty of very, very beautiful regular Japanese actresses as well. They don’t do gravure style bikini shoots but they still often do nude shoots or very sexy photos. In Japan this isn’t seen as degrading or damaging to your acting career, and typically the shoots will be collaborations with famous photographers.
Naoko Watanabe (渡辺奈緒子), born in 1984, is a very attractive actress who, though not a star, has been in several high profile releases, including western films set in Japan, like Silk. In the latter, she also showed that she is one of those very few Japanese actresses (e.g. Shinobu Terajima, Rinko Kikuchi, Yuriko Yoshitaka) willing to take their clothes off and do nude scenes.
She played the lead in nude, based on the memori by porn star Mihiro and which tells about how a young girl gets involved in the Japanese adult industry through coercion.
She was also shot in some very sexy poses for a “mook” photo book in 2009.
Her career has taken a downturn of late and the rumors said she had retired. This was after she did a nude photo book in 2012 with photographer Leslie Kee, provocatively titled “Dawn.”
She also did a nude scene in the recent gangster film Outrage. Here are some shots from the appropriately titled nude.
