Kazusa Okuyama is one of the top gravure idols in Japan right now, though she went quiet for a while from the end of last year with few social media updates. The last major gravure-related thing she did was release a 2023 calendar and hold an exhibition with top gravure photographer Chikashi Kasai (both in December 2022). Her absence was essentially explained on February 14 (yes, Valentine's Day), when there came the shock announcement that one of the most eligible ladies in the land had got married. This typically would mean the end of a gravure career. (She also does occasional acting. In ...

The model Kazusa Okuyama has posed for the hottest, most nude shoot since her second photo book AIKAGI, where she showed off her butt in summer 2020. The 28-year-old Aomori native, a former race queen who remains one of the top gravure models in Japan, has carved out a career on TV of late, and this latest cover shoot (included in the November 11 issue of weekly magazine Friday) reveals a more mature, sultrier beauty. The shoot has a fantastic hot spring resort theme: we see Kazusa Okuyama looking very demure and alluring, gradually shedding clothes upon arrival at the onsen. She strips ...

Idol-of-the-moment Kazusa Okuyama has released a new digital photo book, Passion, and, judging from the preview images we have seen, it's yet another stunner. Shot by Tim Gallo, it was released by Weekly Playboy. Okuyama dazzles in purple-pink lingerie and a black dress that shows off her slender legs and alluring back. The 27-year-old Aoyama native has also just released a new calendar. This digital photo book follows on from her third print photo book (shot by Tomoki Kuwajima), which came out from Shogakukan on September 30. That's three print photo books in as ...

At the start of the week, we were waxing lyrical about an onahole with a hot-spring tryst theme, perhaps especially seductive right now as we find ourselves hunkering down in the big city and away from onsen resorts. And now we hear of a new web drama with two of our favorite ladies of the moment: Kazusa Okuyama and Oto Abe. They were interviewed in Weekly Spa! this week and competed with each other to see who looks the hottest in a yukata photo shoot at a hot spring. Well, in our eyes, it's a close draw. The new drama series, Mahjong Treasure Bath Chronicle (麻雀宝湯記), is ...

Started by Dolly Parton, of all people, the LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Tinder meme has been floating around social media for a while now. In a nutshell, it purports to show a quartet of images showing different personalities projected of yourself on different types of social media platforms. Like all big memes, there have been some great and inventive variations posted and shared. But we think this is the first one based on a Japanese gravure idol. In this case, it is the comely Kazusa Okuyama who is the inspiration. We're not sure of the original source of this image -- if you are, ...

On the NTV show Inu mo kuwanai, former AKB48 idol Miki Nishino competed with the actor Kazusa Okuyama to see whose body is the "best." Whereas Miki Nishino has a slightly curvy butt (by Japanese idol standards, at any rate), Kazusa Okuyama is athletic and sporty -- a very popular type among Japanese models and female actors right now, perhaps influenced by all the 2020 hype. She shares selfies of her toned body on social media -- something we also spotted the gravure idol Yume Hayashi do this recently. Miki Nishino left AKB48 in spring 2017 and, possibly due to her body, was not apparently ...
