So-called "vagina artist" Rokudenashiko has been found guilty and convicted of a charge of obscenity, and ordered to pay a fee of ¥400,000 (around $3,700).
Rokudenashiko ("good-for-nothing girl"), whose real name is Megumi Igarashi and whose first manga book has just been released in English, was first arrested in July 2014 for distributing data that enabled recipients to make 3D prints of her vagina.
She was arrested again in December of that year for making a plaster mold of a kayak based on her genitals, which was displayed at an adult shop.
Her defence argues that her work ...
Here is an incomplete and imperfect list of East Asia's top sex scandals. Please share more examples in the comments below (but no links to sex tape leak sites, please).
We've divided the list by nation alphabetically.
China
Over in the People's Republic, the Chinese model Zhai Ling (aka Shou Shou) landed in hot water when an alleged sex tape leaked online.
Hong Kong
Perhaps the most famous case on this list, the Edison Chen photos scandal from 2008 brought down the career of one of Hong Kong's biggest stars at the time, led to death threats, and arrest for the person who ...
Everyone's favorite celebrant of small Japanese busts is back with more of the same, though that's very much a good thing.
Lingerie designer Gomi Hayakawa's latest addition to her "feast" series is feast secret.
And man, we hope these don't stay a secret for long when they make willowy and slender Japanese girls look as hot as this.
Who would have thought that an AAA cup could be so sexy?
Put these items on your Japanese girlfriend's shopping list ...
What are the dark secrets of the entertainment industry in Japan? Here is our subjective list.
1: Sex
Despite the control exerted by talent agencies over idols' private lives (who they can and cannot date, or in the case of some groups, not letting them date or have sex at all), the truth is that there is plenty of sex happening -- it's just not all that pleasant or consensual.
Makura eigyo (sleeping with people to get ahead, like the casting couch) is rampant at many levels of the gravure and idol industry, with female models and entertainers frequently having sex with older male managers ...
"Vagina artist" Megumi Igarashi (aka Rokudenashiko) has announced she will marry British rock musician Mike Scott of the Waterboys.
Igarashi (44) will marry Scott (57), who is popular in Japan and also composed a song, "ROK ROK ROKUDENASHIKO," for Igarashi in 2015.
We actually saw Igarashi once at an event and she was attending it with a foreigner (not Scott). We wondered then if he was a lover and whether her tastes were of the interracial variety. I guess we were at least half right!
Igarashi is still fighting her latest court case for obscenity and joked on Twitter that she would ...
Ever wanted to have sex with a pregnant love doll?
One of the few luxury silicone sex dolls that Orient Industry don't make is a pregnant fetish doll.
But that's okay, because an artist has stepped into fill the gap in the market.
We know that pregnant Japanese women are hot -- from porn stars to music idols -- and so this is surely a logical evolution.
Mika Kan was born in 1988 in Yokohama.
"Do Lovedolls [sic] Dream of Babies?" is Kan's art project in which she creates ultra-realistic sex dolls that are pregnant.
It was shown at Tokyo University of the Arts as her MFA graduation ...
Rio Uchida is a gravure idol with a cult following for her foxy body and cute ass.
She has also become known to non-readers of the gravure weekly magazines for her role in the Kamen Rider Drive series.
The 24-year-old minx (and college graduate) has recently done a spread in Taiwan for Young Jump magazine.
Man, those legs. Imagine taking a short vacation from Tokyo to Taipei while accompanied by this beauty.
Perhaps Taiwan should use Rio Uchida as its official tourist advertising idol? We imagine it would send men scuttling to the airports in no ...
Tsuneo Akaeda, a Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker, has provoked some controversy by suggesting at an April 12th meeting on child poverty that girls who take correspondence courses end up becoming hostesses.
The bizarre leap in logic -- as if LDP politicians have the right to look down on hostesses anyway, given how they are frequent patrons of hostess clubs, and some legislators even started off their careers as hostesses -- was made by the 72-year-old and quoted in the media.
"Even if girls take correspondence courses because their parents have made them do it, they just end up ...
Remember Ryutaro Nonomura? He was the Hyogo Prefecture politician accused of exploiting his position to enjoy a luxury life, all financed as expenses paid for by local voters. He held a press conference to explain his actions but which descended into an insane scene of him bawling and wailing.
The unique media incident has already inspired at least one parody porn film and even influenced an anime.
Now there is a parody adult manga too. It portrays a Nonomura-lookalike doing his press conference while a woman under the table starts to suck him off. It ends with the lucky (unlucky?) guy ...
Talk about being hoist by your own petard.
A man in Japan apparently rang up police to ask them if it was against the law to date a 15-year-old girl? This led to police investigating him and finding he had naked photos of a third-grader in his home.
The unemployed Hisao Okazaki (45) was arrested by Kanagawa police on suspicion of violating laws against child prostitution and child pornography, after he was found to have taken pictures of a half-naked female junior high school student with his smartphone and saved the data.
Okazaki has apparently admitted the charges. "I certainly ...
