Saeko has been slowly but surely transforming herself from a model and tarento famous for being famous (a status mostly created by marrying and divorcing the baseball pitcher Yu Darvish, just after he signed a $60 million deal with the Texas Rangers in 2012).
Part of this was stripping off (in part, at least) and then also inheriting Haruna Kojima’s role as the main brand model for Peach John, one of Japan’s great lingerie lines.
In the latest catalogue, Saeko is supposed to be a ballerina, showing off her perfectly formed, slinky body (remember, she’s had TWO kids with Yu Darvish) to ravishing levels.
Another lingerie model — this time, Ravijour (kind of the slutty version of Peach John) — with ballet connections is British-Japanese actress/model Sonoya Mizuno, who was previously a professional ballerina.
Otherwise, there is ballerina and actress Tamiyo Kusakari. While most famous for appearing in the original Japanese version of Shall We Dance?, Kusakari has also appeared in “hair nude” full-frontal shots, as well as a nude sex scene in a movie called A Terminal Trust (directed by her husband) when she was in her forties!
