Japan, the land of countless otaku, all passionate about a niche fandom. Also Japan, the land of a thousand fetishes -- including some you didn't know existed. Like the humble raincoat. Sure, latex-style clothing is a must for bondage fans. Who doesn't love the look and feel of tight rubber gear on a sexy body? But we're talking basic rain protection here. What's so hot about it? Well, in the case of one particular man in Osaka, a lot. So much so that he stole 360 women's raincoats -- and must now face the consequences for it. Yoshida Yoda is not, despite the name, a wizened Jedi living a ...

Japanese adult toy makers are never one to let a commercial opportunity pass. When a toy proves a hit, they usually follow up with a similar one -- or several. But this time, the follow-up is not just a quick cash-in but a complementary item that makes so much sense. So much so, we wonder why they didn't release the original and follow-up together in the first place. Back in February, we introduced readers to one of the most novel toys to hit the market in recent months: the Ashikoki Schoolgirl Footjob Toy. In a nutshell, it's a foot that you use to rub yourself off. It even comes with a ...

At Tokyo Kinky, we hope we don't moralize. We like to stay as open as possible, even -- and perhaps especially -- when the tastes do not match our own. And given the kind of content we share, we are hardly qualified to get on a high horse and start preaching to the masses. As such, it is with a touch of bemusement that we are watching a dispute unfold, first on Twitter and now in the mainstream media. An article titled "I am not alone -- we are all alone: Using masturbation as an ethnographic method in research on shota subculture in Japan" appeared in the respected academic journal ...

When we talk about porn and sex, we tend to reach for heat-related metaphors. That guy or girl is a hottie. The sex was hot. And so on. Being cold or frigid is usually a bad thing. Right? Apparently not. The latest example of the weird and wonderful subgenres of fetish porn that occupies a surprisingly large section of the Japanese adult video market is this release from Rocket (RCTD-482), which came out on July 21. It features a schoolgirl who becomes frozen -- as is rock-solid frozen -- during sex and then gradually loses the ability to move her body. She ends up a kind of blue ...

You've already got the sweaty stocking smell spray. You've got the freshly taken-off scent of panties. If you're a bit kinkier, you've got the pee-stained panties spray. Maybe you've even tried the high school girl menstruation smell bottle. What's next? What more could the market offer you? As it turns out, quite a lot! Which all begs the question: What is it about Japan and smell fetishes? We haven't done a comprehensive survey in any way, shape, or form, but it really does seem like something quite peculiar to the adult market here. Smell fetishes themselves are certainly universal, ...

Japan is, regular readers will already know, a sex doll paradise. The hug pillows are iconic and famed around the world. You can choose from an incredible array of air dolls in all sizes and styles (schoolgirls and anime idols are a firm favorite in the market). And then there are the silicone dolls from the likes of Orient Industry, boasting breathtaking realism and features (assuming you have the financial means to pay for them). What often get less attention are the softer plush dolls, which have their own unique advantages (and also don't break the bank). Putting the tactile and ...

Feti Fes is Japan's top fetish festival. We have attended before and previously posted photo reports that readers seemed to like. It's the kind of event where every little room, cubbyhole, or booth is dedicated to a whole other fetish. Participants include chika (underground) and gravure idols, ero-cosplayers, fetish service providers, and goods and merchandise retailers. After postponement due to the pandemic -- obviously, given the nature of the event, it's hardly compatible with social distancing guidelines -- Feti Fes 19 was finally held in April. We were not able to attend but, as we ...

Younger sister (imouto) and older sister (ane) fantasies abound in manga, anime, eroge, and so on, so it's hardly a surprise that the tropes creep into Japanese adult toys too. Amid the array of toys already out there, what more can they do with those fetishes? Well, as it turns out, quite a lot. We just spotted this new set of releases from newbie adult brand Motlab that takes the "Japanese sister" fetish further -- and with great results. They are provided for global release by, as always, Kanojo Toys. Motlab has produced three hentai onaholes based on a trio of sisters, each with a ...

As reported recently on this blog, one of the unexpected outcomes of the coronavirus pandemic has been how the ubiquity of face masks has merged with an existing fetish for used underwear to beget a whole new brand of the adult market: used face masks. However, though schoolgirls and housewives are apparently benefitting financially from the demand, some have warned that used face masks carry serious hygiene risks. Japanese social media, especially Twitter, offers plenty of examples of used masks for sale, sometimes with "kiss marks." Posters tend to include photos of the stains from ...

If you've got it, flaunt it. That's a maxim usually applied to more savory assets, but we at Tokyo Kinky also believe it holds true for the, well, kinkier aspects of life. Like having a panties fetish. If you love panties or panchira (up-skirt glimpses of panties), then Japan has the answer to your dreams. From face masks to bibs and art books, there's a wide array of fetish items for you. And that's before you even delve deeper into the world of actual used panties. Combining practical solutions with unique aesthetic, Ligre Japan has produced two new panties-fetish items that we couldn't ...
