Here’s further proof, if any was needed, that we should envy famous Japanese comedians. Not only do they lark around on TV and earn big bucks, but they also get to sleep with beautiful women.
Recall Piko Taro, the comedian behind the annoyingly inane yet catchy “Pen Pineapple Apple Pen” song. Well, he married the gorgeous gravure idol Hitomi Yasueda.
And just to make us even more envious, Ayana Kobayashi, the 26-year-old wife of Shinichiro Takiue (of the manzai unit Nagareboshi), has made her gravure debut in the latest issue of weekly tabloid Shukan Flash with a semi-nude photo shoot.
Married in 2016 and now the mother of one child (it was a shotgun marriage, or dekichatta kekkon, as is often the case in Japan), Ayana Kobayashi was not particularly famous before, though she did work as tarento (TV celebrity) best known for her impersonations of Atsuko Maeda, but looks set to have a career of her own if the quality of this shoot is anything to go by.
Of course, late twenties is almost jukujo age by gravure standards, though there’s plenty of guys who like a slightly older woman and plenty of examples of ladies achieving gravure success at this point in their lives.
Whether it’s a one-off or the first of many more, the shoot really shows off Ayana’s beauty, from her alluring facial mole to her slender figure and cute butt.
