She’s back.
We’re delighted to welcome the return of Haruka Kodama, who has done her first gravure photo shoot in two years.
She appears on the cover of the October 15 issue of weekly magazine Flash. The swimwear-themed shoot features the model and actress lounging around a sunny pool and making us whistful about the hot summer that has just finished (though it’s still T-shirt weather here in Tokyo).
Alongside her debut cover for the magazine, Flash has also released two digital photo books. Do you want Haruka Kodama in bed or by the pool?
Haruppi will apparently appear in four other gravure magazines in October, according to an Instagram post.
Her acting career is also receiving more attention with a role on the new NHK morning drama Omusubi, playing a police officer.
The former HKT48 idol, who graduated the group a few years ago due to her bipolar disorder (and has been open about her battles with mental health), has famously advocated for couples to watch porn together.
In terms of nudity, the 28-year-old’s most recent shoots are a bit tamer than her 2022 photo book, which featured some shots of her butt and side boob.
Haruppi was also in the news late last month after sharing on her YouTube channel about her plastic surgery, which is something of an open secret in the entertainment world, but rarely admitted. She said she had had surgeries costing more than ¥10 million in total, starting from when she was a teen.
