Pay attention, gents. There's a new biracial beauty in town.
Actually, Tina Kitsune has already been around for a little while, but her fandom just got a major boost. This week saw the release of her digital photo book for Weekly Playboy, Oceania Innocence.
As often is the case with such models, the powers that be are making a big deal out of her background as a haafu (mixed-race person). She is half-Japanese, half-Australian (specifically, white), and was brought up in Australia.
Kitsune built up a following online through Instagram and TikTok, becoming an influencer, digital creator, ...
The gravure model Momiji Kuribara will release her first nude photo book, Land of the Beautiful Butt, on September 30.
The book is published by Takeshobo, like her recently released fifth image DVD, and Kuribara sat down with Weekly Playboy for an interview featured in the August 10 issue.
The 29-year-old Saitama native has only published digital photo books to date, so her upcoming release marks another milestone in her career.
"I was nervous before the shoot started because it was my first time doing nude work, and the outfits were unlike anything I'd ever worn for glamour shoots ...
The TV announcer Tomoka Takenaka dazzled the world when she burst on the gravure scene at the age of 43 last year, showing off her mature, curvy, and fun body.
The former NHK presenter and Hiroshima native has now followed up with two new photo books that revel in her glamorous yet down-to-earth figure, which has some extra pounds and plenty of sexy love handles -- not to mention a big, welcoming smile and H-cup breasts.
Like last November's offering, the photo books are published by gravure magazine Weekly Playboy, which also released a further three in between. That's quite a ...
The gravure industry has welcomed another newbie to the fold this week -- and someone with an unusual background.
For a start, she's not super-young. Eriko Kimura is 29 (and turns 30 in September) and has a regular job, working at a major IT company. She is currently affiliated with a big entertainment agency, Oscar Promotion, but basically does modeling only on the side.
Kimura just did her first gravure shoot for Weekly Playboy, appearing in the issue released on June 15. She made her official gravure debut last July and released a digital photo book. She got her big break in 2024, where ...
Ayame Misaki is back with a new digital photo book. Shot by ND Chow, wet moon came out via Shueisha and Weekly Playboy on May 18.
Living up to its title, it features a sweaty Misaki showing off her shapely body in a bikini.
Misaki is now 37 years old and seems set to replicate the success of Kyoko Fukada and continue such gravure beach shoots into her late thirties and even forties.
Like the voice actress Yuka Iguchi, Misaki reinvented her in her thirties with an athletic look boasting muscular curves and a sun-kissed body.
Beginning in 2021, her comeback has reaped dividends for ...
The veteran gravure idol Ayana Nishinaga is to retire from the industry after an 18-year career that began at the age of 12.
She released her fiftieth DVD in 2025, appropriately titled Bye-bye!, and appears in the current issue of Weekly Playboy, which has released a digital photo book called The Last to accompany her final shoot, suggestively featuring the model in a wedding dress.
The 30-year-old from Okayama describes in her interview in the magazine how she hopes to get married in her early thirties and start a family.
The magazine shoot features Nishinaga enjoying a "bath" with her ...
The sisters Kei and Rei Jonishi have posed together for a sensual gravure photo shoot for Weekly Playboy featuring the two idols in alluring lingerie and swimwear.
Kei Jonishi is the older of the sisters, now 31 years and a member of Osaka music group NMB48 from 2010 to 2017. She has since done work as a model but has left a couple of agencies, and hasn't released a solo photo book (digital or print) for a few years.
Rei Jonishi is still just 24 years old and also a member of NMB48 since 2016. She released her most recent print photo book in March last year, and also features in the ...
She is now in her thirties and, despite being still one of the most famous gravure idols in Japan, it was inevitable that this day would come: Jun Amaki is to retire this summer.
Yes, it's sadly time to say sayonara to one of the cutest and bustiest of gradols in Japan.
She announced this a few days ago to accompany her appearance in the current issue of Weekly Playboy. There is also a tie-in digital photo book, appropriately called Retirement, now on release. The resulting storm of publicity Amaki's announcement has generated has helped send the book up the Kindle charts.
Amaki was at ...
In an age of AI, when computer-generated content has glutted our screens and it is sometimes hard to tell what is human and what is fake, what does it take a new idol to stand out from the pixels?
Sarina is hoping she has it.
The "sexy streamer" has just launched a gravure career, building on her massive social media base that has seen her accrue hundreds of thousands of followers.
She has just released Miraculous Quartet Body, a digital photo book for Weekly Playboy that is R18 rated (and also available in a tamer "all-ages edition"). It shows off her slinky body and large breasts, ...
The Japanese actor, fashion model, and gravure idol Akari Yoshida has made a comeback under a new name.
Now known as Akari Koda, she has done her first gravure shoot in about three years. The shoot appears in the current issue of Weekly Playboy.
"I had always wanted to do gravure modeling, but I was waiting for the right timing," Koda told the magazine. "I changed agencies and had decided to change my name, so I thought it would be great if more people could get to know a different side of me."
The shoot by veteran gravure photographer Chikashi Kasai puts lots of emphasis on her thighs ...
