Tokyo Metropolitan Police has announced the arrest of Akira Awazu, a 51-year-old executive at an entertainment company based in Tokyo's Shinjuku ward, on suspicion of non-consensual sexual intercourse and violation of the Child Prostitution and Child Pornography Prohibition Act, for allegedly filming himself engaging in obscene acts with a 15-year-old junior high school girl and selling the footage as an adult video.
Awazu partially denies the charges, saying: "I though the girl was 18 years old." This was revealed in an interview with investigators, reports the Asahi Shimbun.
Awazu was ...
Ex-E-girls member Anna Ishii has a sex scene in the TV show Saint Love Survivors. She is shown having sex on all fours with her lover pounding her from behind as she grips the bed sheets. She is also shown enjoying her partner's embrace from behind while lying on her side.
This being mainstream Japanese TV, though, both actors are fully clothed throughout, which is about as realistic as it sounds. Nonetheless, the lingering closeups of Ishii's face as she feels her lover's thrusts into her body are very, very nice to watch. She has to cover her mouth to muffle her moans. Oh, we can imagine. ...
When the X AI assistant Grok recently started allowing users to manipulate any posted image, it immediately led to criticisms about copyright and consent. Inevitably, X was soon flooded with sexualized images of women, including of minors, based on entirely innocent pictures and selfies.
In Japan, the outrage has focused on several issues: personal artwork (since many independent artists use X), images of cosplayers (again, many freelance cosplayers use the platform), and the sexualization of a princess (who has little control of how her image appears in social media).
Given the size of the ...
We're cracking off 2026 with a belter of a story that is weird and wild, and perhaps could only happen in Tokyo.
On January 2, the Japanese Imperial Family always greets the public by coming onto a balcony to wave at the crowds, who are allowed into the palace grounds (which are usually closed).
The celebratory mood this year was soured, however, by the arrest of a man who stripped naked and tried to defecate in public in the grounds during the fifth and final balcony viewing.
The incident happened right at the front of the crowd, where there is the clearest view of the balcony, and it's ...
To mark Christmas, we want to share this short adult manga that we saw online.
The original was created by Doro Mamizu (泥水真水) and posted on Christmas Eve.
An English translation was quickly posted by Eric Shahan, an independent translator who specializes in translating esoteric historical books.
It features a unique on the familiar Christmas tale of Santa's visit ("'Twas the night before Christmas" and all that). This version, though, references the standard Japanese interpretation of Christmas: as a day for couples, not families, and specifically Christmas Eve, which is the ...
There are mature idols and jukujo, and then there's Miyuki Kojima.
The 73-year-old has just released her "last nude" in an adult photo book shot by veteran Koki Nishida for Shogakukan's Weekly Post digital series.
Always in my Prime: Reunion came out on December 15. It's called a "nude" but the previews indicate it falls more into the category of semi-nude, with no actual breasts on show, which is probably for the best, considering the age of the model. (The shots seem tamer than, say, fiftysomething Fumi Nakajima's releases.)
Kojima has previous, having already released digital ...
In September, one of Japan's most popular YouTubers, Hikaru, experienced a major backlash when he announced that his new marriage with his beautiful 30-year-old wife was an open one in which they would both have other partners.
The 34-year-old faced heavy criticism for declaring so brazenly that he wanted to seek out extramarital partners.
Now comes the quite unsurprising news that Hikaru and Shingeki no Noa (Minori Maeda), a former hostess turned businesswoman and model, have divorced after just seven months of marriage.
Hikaru announced the news on his YouTube channel on December ...

Published by Kodansha, the book came out on December 10. To promote it, Ikechan has made her first public appearance since her scandal in July, when it emerged that she was having a relationship with a married man, Kosuke Minowa, a prominent editor at publisher Gentosha.
They were pictured by a tabloid photographed after a Korean BBQ date. The images of Ikechan, puffing out her cheeks and looking cute and happy with a belly full of ...
Former actor Takahisa Maeyama updated his Instagram on December 12, revealing that he's now working at a men's lounge in Roppongi.
He shared a video of himself smiling as he strolls through Roppongi at night. He also attached a link to the TikTok account for Century Tokyo, the club where he works.

This is the latest chapter in a roller-coaster period for Maeyama, who was originally scheduled to make an acting comeback in a play in November last year. The production ...
A member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly came out as pansexual during a speech asking Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike about improvements to the partnership system for LGBTQ+ couples.
Yuki Higashi has previously worked as a nurse and now serves in the assembly for the Constitutional Democratic Party, having won her seat in June. She previously served in the Shinagawa ward assembly.
The 36-year-old made the speech at the assembly on December 10, explaining that "I am a member of the sexual minority community." A pansexual is attracted to regardless of their gender (this is treated as distinct ...
