The disgraced gravure idol and actress Maya Imamori is struggling to re-establish herself in the entertainment industry.
Following her fall from grace over underage drinking in November last year, which led the agency of the Super Sentai actress to terminate her contract, she has attempted a comeback as a freelancer, only to spark yet another scandal.
Imamori made a candid confession in an appearance on Junpei Nakamachi's personal YouTube channel that she was once pregnant. In the video released October 13, the 20-year-old said that she got pregnant in the first grade of high school.
"I ...
Amid the sea of dating apps and platforms that already exist for people looking to hook up, do we need another? It seems we do.
Irodori is a Japanese dating app designed specifically for people with disabilities, including developmental disorders or depression. Since its launch three years ago, according to a report in the Asahi Shimbun, the service has facilitated about 35,000 matches.
It was developed by Izumi Yuki, a 34-year-old woman with ADHD. She was inspired to launch Irodori as someone who has also struggled with her own neurodivergent traits and romantic relationships.

She did her debut sex scene in Sensei's Pious Lie in 2024. Then she gave us her first nude scene in Hoshin in 2025, with its (gratuitous) shower scene revealing her naked breast.
Now top Japanese actress and model Ayaka Miyoshi has gone one step further by doing what seems to be her first nude sex scene in the South Korean movie Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub, the fourth entry in the Tazza series.
We have not seen the film yet, which was released in Korea on September 23, but this grainy screenshot (or rather, photo of the screen in a theater) of unconfirmed provenance is doing the rounds ...
The former wrestling champion and now professional female boxer and mixed martial artist Miyu Yamamoto has done a gravure shoot with the online magazine Web Leon, showcasing her well-toned physique.
Today aged 52 and the mother of three (one of whom, Asen Sasaki, is a MMA fighter in his own right), Yamamoto is a three-time freestyle wrestling champion. She has also been married four times, indicating she is busy outside the ring as she in!
The Web Leon shoot took place in late August, approximately three weeks before Yamamoto's second professional boxing match held at Korakuen Hall in ...
The Japanese internet has exploded in the past 24 hours with the potentially sensational leak of an alleged sex tape featuring model and actress Tina Tamashiro.
Tamashiro is a half-Japanese, half-American model born in Okinawa. Known for her striking short bobs, the 28-year-old first emerged in the early 2010s and she cemented her fame by securing a position as a cover model for the popular fashion magazine Vivi from 2012 to 2019. She has released several photo books and has some high-profile acting credits to her name, such as the Netflix series Alice in Borderland.
We're not sure of the ...
Japan has been rocked by an incident in Okinawa where a 20-year-old member of the US Marine Corps has been arrested for the murder of a 39-year-old local woman in a love hotel.
The body of Anna Yagi (屋宜杏奈) was discovered strangled to death in a hotel in Naha, where she lived. Lance Corporal Devin Jacob Ballard is alleged to have killed Yagi in the early hours of October 3, and stolen her wallet and backpack, and then fled the hotel before he was arrested on October 4.
The murder has sparked outrage in Japan, especially in Okinawa, which hosts the vast majority of US bases in Japan ...
Regular readers will know that Tokyo Kinky loves a jukujo. And this isn't because the team behind this humble blog is getting older (which is certainly true). We always loved a mature woman back when we were in our salad days.
To be frank, the ranks of gravure are busy and crowded, and we had forgotten all about Ayana Sogawa, to our shame, but we instantly recognized her when we saw pictures of the 37-year-old actress and model. And then said a quick thanks to the gods of Shinto for bringing her back into our humble lives.
She has just done what she thinks is her first gravure shoot in six ...
The emerging biracial gravure idol Tina Kitsune has already massively boosted her fame and profile since the start of the autumn.
Now she has resorted to a tried-and-tested tactic of bringing in a friend to give her helping hand. In this case, it's more than a friend: it's her sister.
Tina appears with her sister Kaia on the cover of a new issue of Young King, shot by veteran gravure cameraman Munetaka Tokuyama. The shoot is also available as a new digital photo book, because you can't have too much of a good thing.
Like Tina, Kaia Kitsune is a half-Australian, half-Japanese model and ...
The online edition of Weekly Friday has published a fascinating interview with a Japanese sex worker with an enterprising streak.
Anri Saito (a pseudonym) is apparently a 36-year-old resident of Osaka who works as a freelance sex worker, meaning she isn't affiliated with any specific outcall agency or brothel.
Instead of being on a particular establishment's roster, she filed the necessary business registration, rented an office, and hired a driver all by herself. Now that's what we call the famously mercantile Osaka spirit.
She handles everything from attracting clients and managing ...
The actress and former gravure idol Mitsu Dan was a huge part of our lives in the first half of the 2010s, when she was appearing in lots of roles in erotic movies and doing some very high-profile nude shoots.
Now aged 45 (and still a very classy lady) and married, Dan recently appeared on the YouTube channel ReHacQ and revealed some interesting details about her past career.
On the September 28 episode, she shared how much she actually earned for her first fully nude photo shoot.
It was just ¥330,000 -- about a month's salary at a regular job at the time.
Of course, the actual fee ...
