We blogged a few days back about the fascinating story of the double life of elementary school teacher Hitomi Sugawara, part Setagaya ward music pedagogue and part minor porn star.
All good things have to come to an end, and in her case it because she was involved with uncensored porn. Having no pixelation was the issue here, not that she was a teacher during the week.
We were all speculating about what she looked like. A small image of her online was swiftly removed by her school when she got snagged by the cops.
Now proper pictures have now emerged so we can finally see what she looked like!
As well as her teaching career, Sugawara also worked as an opera singer. Her porn career went under two names, either Shizuru Junno or Reiko Magi. It was as the latter that she appeared in uncensored porn, which sealed her fate.
She tended to play “wife” roles as her “ordinary” looks made her attractive to guys who wanted some realism in their porn.
Her motivations could have been very practical.
As a contract teacher she no doubt needed some extra cash, as her wages would have been below average. Saying that, an “amateur” (shiroto) like her would only earn something like 30,000-50,000 yen per shoot, about the same as the guys. It is well known that, despite the prodigious output of the JAV industry (or even, because there is just so much produced), most of the girls are not paid much unless they are major stars. The uncredited “kikaku joyu“ who appear in the films with big groups of girls may get as little as 10,000 per shoot.
Still, look on the bright side. When she has finished serving her time, a future full-time career in porn is certainly a possibility. She has shown her willingness to suffer for her profession.
