The "hair nude" is a curious Japanese-English phrase. It refers not just to naked flesh; it's naked flesh with genital hair. What is "shocking" here is the display of pubic hair, the line by which art and entertainment is usually fettered in Japan.

The 27-year-old hottie was a former SKE48 idol group member who then joined SDN48 for a while. She has had a rather peripatetic career, as these minor idols often do, including joining Seifuku Koji Iinkai for a time in 2002.
