A Japanese TV show asked a man what he thought about gravure photo shoots. Nothing strange about this, perhaps, but the details are more unusual.
This man may look like a regular white-collar worker but his younger sisters are anything but: they are gravure idols and he was shown images from their provocative shoots.
The ladies in question are Tomoe Yamanaka (山中知恵) and Mayumi Yamanaka (山中真由美).
The brother laughs uncomfortably. “Yeah, I have mixed feelings about that.”
To our shame, we did not know that Tomoe Yamanaka and Mayumi Yamanaka were sisters, though now we clearly see the resemblance (both in terms of face and body type). Mayumi is the older sibling, at 27 years old, while 25-year-old Tomoe has released more photo books.
Here is Mayumi…
And here is Tomoe…
This got us thinking about other siblings working in gravure…
Regular readers will know of the Yanagi sisters: busty Yurina, who revealed that stunning chest for a movie, and Iroha.
There is also Marina and Erika, two haafu who started their career on TikTok.
More recently, the 23-year-old Sayaka Tomaru has been joined in the industry by her 18-year-old sister, Akari Tomaru (都丸亜華梨). They have posed for a joint summer-themed shoot in an issue of the magazine FLASH this month.
