Japanese Gravure Idol Yayoi Shikatani x Up To Boy

Here’s a fitting finale to our Up To Boy special feature.

Looking at this photo in Up To Boy makes me want to cream in my pants! Can the micro string bikini Japanese gravure idol Yayoi Shikatani (鹿谷弥生) has got on be any smaller?! My perverted mind keeps wondering just how much did this baby faced cutie have to shave down there for this photoshoot.

The 20 year old Yayoi stands a tallish (for Japanese standard) 5′6″ and hails from Fukuoka Prefecture in southern Japan. Sporting a pure smile and virginal body, Yayoi got her foot into the Japanese showbiz by winning Miss Magazine’s (ミスマガジン) gravure contest in 2007.

Jay and I hope you have enjoyed this Up To Boy special. Be sure to look out for more exclusive features on Sleepy John in the future!

Yayoi Shikatani is signed with Fantastar Promotion (ファンタスタープロモーション)

Japanese Gravure Idol Tomoko Yunoue x Up To Boy

I’ve got another big tits beauty for you, courtesy of Japanese gravure authority Up To Boy (アップトゥボーイ). 24 year old gravure idol Tomoko Yunoue (湯之上知子) moved to Tokyo from her hometown in 2005 because she had always been interested in the showbiz world. The Kyoto native started going to auditions at the urging of her friend while working at Shibuya 109, the mecca of Japanese fashion.

Tomoko is blessed with F cup breast but has always been self conscious about her large boobs because most clothes wouldn’t fit right on her. But since entering showbiz and becoming a gravure idol she has been learning techniques on how to show off her assets and practices posing in bikini at home.

Tomoko Yunoue’s senpai, Japanese gravure veteran Eiko Koike once offered her the advice that if she didn’t know what to do during the taping of a show just simply start jumping up and down and make her nice rack bounce. What great advice that is!

Japanese Gravure Idol Mayu Mitsui x Up To Boy

Check out the tiny string bikini on the hot little body of Japanese gravure idol Mayu Mitsui (三井麻由)! The Japanese teenager who’s from Chiba Prefecture just east of Tokyo recently turned 19. Originally signed with Yellow Cab (イエローキャブ) which is more famous for the busty idols it produces, Mayu jumped ship to Artist House Pyramid (アーティストハウス・ピラミッド) last year because she’s a big fan of Japanese idol / actress Misako Yasuda who headlines the company along with Yoko Kumada.

Mayu Mitsui has an equestrian license which would come in handy when she gets on top of me! xD

Japanese Announcer Mio Nemoto x Up To Boy

Cute til it hurts Japanese freelance announcer Mio Nemoto (根本美緒) as featured in gravure magazine Up To Boy. The 29 year old with girl next door smile works mainly as the morning news weather girl for Japanese TV station TBS. Her job requires her to get up at 2:30am every day…ouch! Mio brings with her a good education background, having spent her entire schooling career from kindergarten to university within the Keio University (慶應義塾大学) system!

Mio Nemoto’s second photobook follows her as she takes a fun trip to Seoul

Japanese Gravure Idol Marina Kanda x Up To Boy

20 year old Japanese gravure idol Marina Kanda (神田茉里奈) refuses to grow up! The Osaka native claims that if possible she’d like to go back to being 15 years old. I wholeheartedly welcome that…who wouldn’t love to see this sexy kitten in school girl uniform again?! Along with popular Japanese idol Koh Hamada (Shoko Hamada’s younger sister), Hiromi Uesugi and Reina Sawai as teammates, Marina Kanda is an “Endless Lady” race queen for Team Endless in the Super GT racing series both last season and this season.

Marina Kanda belongs to Japanese production company “Avilla” (アヴィラ) who also has Yuko Ogura, Shoko Hamada and Kaori Manabe under its wings

Gravure pimping magazine Up To Boy promoting Japanese gravure idol / model Yukina Kinoshita (木下優樹菜) and her then upcoming photobook. The slender 20 year old is of Korean heritage and got scouted while working as a fashion boutique clerk at the famous Shibuya 109 building.

Japanese Idol Singer Minami Minegishi x Up To Boy

Lord have mercy! Could he have made Japanese idol Minami Minegishi (峯岸みなみ) any cuter?! The extremely popular U-15 (under 15) AKB48 Team A member is one of its original members. I don’t usually follow AKB48 but I can picture myself going to a concert of the popular Akihabara based Japanese pop idol group just to get a glimpse of this cutie pie!

Seriously, I think staring at those huge innocent eyes and her petite, cheeky face for more than a few seconds will lead to possible cardiac arrest! Japanese idol pimping machine Up To Boy (アップトゥボーイ) ran this spread of Mii-chan when she was still a junior high school student.

Japanese Idol Actress Nana Akiyama x Up To Boy

Here’s a cutie pie for you from the purveyor of Japanese gravure Up To Boy. Nana Akiyama (秋山奈々) is a Japanese gravure idol / actress turned singer with a nice set of yummy D cup tits.

Japanese Idol Singer Rika Ishikawa x Up To Boy

Photobook snippets of smoking hot former Morning Musume Rika Ishikawa (石川梨華) as featured in Up To Boy. The 23 year old was a 4th generation member of arguably the most popular Japanese idol unit. She was also involved with various Hello!Project based groups including “Biyuden” (美勇伝), which sadly disbanded in June of this year.

“Charmy” is no stranger to gravure work, having done 8 photobooks so far. Unlike most Hello!Project (ハロー!プロジェクト) girls, Rika Ishikawa possesses a ripe and curvy body. Common fanboy guestimation (including yours truly) put her chest at around D cup.

Japanese Gravure Idol Hiroko Sato x Up To Boy

Japanese idol authority Up To Boy gives you a sneak peak at gravure idol Hiroko Sato’s (佐藤寛子) latest and final photobook titled, “Portrait”. Unlike most Japanese gravure idols Hiroko maintains her Japanese-ness by keeping her hair jet black and shooting with minimum make up. The sexy 23 year old Japanese gravure veteran unexpectedly announced at the press event for “Portrait” that this would be her last photobook and she’d be leaving the gravure circuit to concentrate on acting. That is a damn shame…I say she needs to stick around and show us more of her busty F cup chest!

Hiroko Sato is known for her daring semi nude poses

Hiroko has released a CD with fellow Japanese gravure idol Sayaka Isoyama and Aki Hoshino.

Japanese Announcer Yuka Ogawa x Up To Boy

Because it’s Friday I’m going to throw some big tittie action your way! Meet Yuka Ogawa (小川友佳), a freelance Japanese TV announcer with smooth, fair skin, a slender body and rocking a set of really nice knockers.

According to my visual inspection, Yuka Ogawa’s blessed chest has got to be at least a F cup, if not G

The sexy 24 year old graduated from esteemed Aoyama Gakuin University (青山学院大学). While attending school there Yuka was selected as a finalist for the Miss Aoyama Gakuin contest and also worked as a fashion model for japanese magazines such as JJ.

Japanese Gravure Idol Hitomi Kaikawa x Up To Boy

Hitomi Kaikawa (海川ひとみ) is a 24 year old Japanese gravure idol from Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture in central Japan. The sexy bikni pinup girl first got into showbiz because she looked up to popular Japanese gravure idol Kaori Manabe and wanted to be like her.

Hitomi Kaikawa was selected to be an “Endless Lady” race queen for Team Endless in the Japanese Super GT racing series in 2005. The following year through a twist of events, Hitomi went from a spectator of Japanese professional wrestling troupe “Hustle” (ハッスル) to becoming a participating wrestler! Her reasoning was that she realized no matter what kind of gravure work she did she could never attain the same status that Kaori Manabe and fellow idol Shoko Hamada have. And now we’ve got one hot girl showing off her body in the ring for us!

Japanese Idol Actress Satomi Ishihara x Up To Boy

To offset the dreaded Monday blue I bring you the beautiful face of Japanese actress / idol Satomi Ishihara (石原さとみ). The 21 year old has already appeared in several Japanese TV drama and movies. She was discovered at the 27th Hori Production “Pure Girl” talent search in 2002 (ホリプロタレントスカウトキャラバン『ピュアガール2002』). Satomi won first place at that contest and needless to say belongs to “Horipro“, one of the largest entertainment agencies in Japan.

Japanese gravure authority Up To Boy (アップトゥボーイ) did a spread on Satomi Ishihara to promote her then upcoming photobook which celebrated her 20th birthday and also contained a collection of gravure photos she did from age 16 to 19.

The same prestigious event produced popular idol / actress / singer such as Masami Nagasawa (2000 winner) and Chihiro Otsuka.
